The White Knight

Nowts changed as far as Ward's concerned.

Are you really??? I would read that bit again orion.

Perhaps he is waking up and smelling the Coffee. About time somebody did. :sad:

I can't wait................................. :shock:

Like me, you mean. :shock: :rofl:

I totally endorse these Posts. WELL SAID!!!

I think you know my answer to that ppm. Cue ruffdiamond to give me a rollicking. Only kidding ruffdiamond.

I still honestly believe that Speedway as a spectacle was better back in the Seventies. It is all about opinions - and that is mine.

I was about to Quote you The Pedler........................... Woops - then you edited your Post. What about virtual Speedway?

Oh dear. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I sincerely hope you are right sidney. Suffice to say that you have more faith in him than I do.

Speedway's George Best.

Agreed - but - how long were the Promotion going to allow things to drift without informing the most important people - the PAYING SUPPORTERS? It is indicative of why Speedway is on the slide. I have great sympathy with the view of Halifaxtiger.

It occurs to me that those two words don't really belong together. Just an opinion though.

Thank you for Posting that gustix - most interesting. I never realised that he was a World Team Cup Winner.

I used to play. You are right - it is very skillful - BUT crucially - Darts is a Pub Game NOT a Sport. Along with the Darts goes the BEER. Hardly sporting that, I mean, look at the size of some of the contestants. Just because it is shown on Sports Channels does NOT make it a Sport. Never that!!

DARTS - a Sport. :rofl: :rofl:

Really!! :blink: Is that possible? :blink:

Cheers gustix.

:cry: :cry: True.

Well said. I'm still waiting for Sunderland FORTY years on. :sad:

Did you know Peter Wrathall (Brafield) gustix? He was, and still is I believe the Brafield Track Record Holder. He rode for Sunderland in the Seventies.

................................. and Redcar.

Something went wrong when I Posted my Reply to Tsunami's Post. Seems like some on here are getting a bit too touchy. No one is saying that others can't have an opinion, but as usual it is quoted back to shift the discussion. My term "the same old,same old" was directed to someone on here, who bores the backside off everyone by repeating verbatim the same old point time and time again. That adds NOTHING to the discussion, and on Play Offs they have been discussed at length many times and their advantages in our sport and others described in great detail, particularly the added interest at the end of a season, which means a greater number of teams are actually looking at qualifying, whilst in the old fashion previous championships , possibly only about 2 or 3 are actually be going for it. Injuries can happen at anytime in a Play Offs or League format, it just depends on when they happen. Drop a Cog. I don't think your sarcasm of bigger gates does your opinions much good, as increased attendances do happen before, and during, Play offs, but didn't happen before when 2 or 3 teams were jostling for that single championship. Too many on here thing tomorrow is going to about yesterday. No it's not. That's why we have reducing attendances because too many long for yesterday with everything, and the world for the rest of us has moved on, and the old fails to attract these new more modern fans that could and should be attracted. DaC. I hope to hell the new BV venture is listening to modern sports fans, rather than it be strangled by the old. Final thought to TWK and others. I am a big SPEEDWAY fan, watching 4 riders racing around track 4 times in a race. Never once have I been to watch a meeting to watch the rules, or protest about who I am watching ride or why they could should not be riding. For people like TWK to keep banging on, and giving up watching speedway, because of TR's and/or Play Offs, I would then suggest that their difficulties are not speedway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I said before - a lot of people feel the same as me. Not everyone obviously. If you cannot see that all of this 'new stuff' isn't working - then you are fooling yourself. I am not saying I have all the answers - I DON'T. But to say that those who are leaving the Sport have a problem as opposed to the Sport itself having problems, then you must be deluded. The alternative is that you don't give a damn about how some of Speedway's Customers feel and don't want to admit that I (they) might just have a point. The reason I "bang on about it is because I care". Do you really think I am prepared to put myself in the firing line of, mainly you and orion, just for the fun of it.
