Some people really are beneath contempt. -
It's not xenophobic to want what is best for BRITISH Speedway though BW. We do seem to give preference to Foreign Riders at times. I love to watch Chris Holder etc. but when you get certain Riders who are, let's face it, no hopers coming from Overseas - it does seem to me that Promoters will go for them over British youngsters. At least, that is the impression I get.
-
Actually - there is a certain merit in that. We bring them all (Foreigners) on in Speedway so they should show some loyalty to the Country where they got their experience, learned their Trade if you will. It would also be good if we stopped rubbish Foreign Riders coming over here at the expense of rubbish British Riders. The rubbish Foreign Riders learn and progress whilst our rubbish British Riders don't get the chance.

If there were NO GPs - I bet the Elite League would be a lot stronger than it is now. :sad: -

A trifle harsh moxey63. There are some good Races today - but - not as many. -

I have to say that I was very impressed with Charlie too last night. She was not frightened to disagree with some of the Political Heavyweights and put her Case very well. Obviously a highly principled Lady as she has said that she will resign her position at Sheffield United if Ched Evans signs for her Club. As I said - very impressive. -
Any of the three that you mention would do me. :approve: But certainly not......................................................................................... :shock:

As do you on occasions. It's all in the perception.

Very balanced and sensible Post with which I totally agree Dean.

Tai's already been there and done that. He probably has the Tee Shirt too. :rofl: -
How about a couple of Supporters who have stopped going. That would be more effective. Ooops - I'd forgotten - they couldn't give a hoot as to why people have stopped going. They are just NOT interested. :sad:
-
You never said that in your original Post. So - there you go - I did read it properly.

You really do, on occasions, show some very selfish traits Humphrey. Count me among those who Tony mentioned in his first paragraph. I would not thank you for an 'On Line version'. I like my Magazine I collect them. If that makes me old fashioned - then so be it. I would have no problem if Tony were to do an 'On Line' version of his Magazines - but I would much prefer, as I said, the Paper Copy even if I had to pay a bit more for it. I do hope you wouldn't deny me that Humphrey.

There is a world of difference in being tolerant and being bored rigid. I have no problem with a Rider taking a few seconds to get himself sorted out and ready - what I do have a problem with is those who go on and on and on for ages. I don't pay to watch Gardening - damn it - I don't even like Gardening. :angry: -
What a SUPERB Post. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Things must be bad if you have given it up as a bad job Bellers101 - join the Club. :sad:

I prefer Team Racing myself. The problem is that those that hold power within the Sport have done their best to ruin it. They seem intent on fiddling and destroying the credibility of our once wonderful Sport. Folk, by and large, are not daft - they know when they are being conned. Contriving to keep Meetings tight is wrong. Sport, if that is what we are talking about, is about Competition, what it is not about is doing this , that and the other in order to conjure up a truly false and dishonest Result. One question - IF these Rules regarding Double Points and Play Offs are so great - then why are Crowds, in general - decreasing and not increasing? I would suggest lack of Credibility in the Sport of Speedway is the answer, or at least part of it.
-
Would it ever get approved the Dean? - It would be brilliant if it did. Can our Sport be watered down any further in this Country?

Edited for accuracy. No - but it IS the GPs that have robbed British Speedway of most of it's top Riders. British Speedway was/is in a mess undoubtedly - but the GP Series certainly has NOT helped that situation. To argue that the GP Series has not had a detrimental effect on British Speedway is just plain wrong.
