Except you are NOT allowed to say so. :mad: As often as I like..................................

I assumed you are talking about Morrissey Fan when I 'Liked' your Post.

Some constructive views from you might help - or - can you not see that the lack of credibility has caused me to give up the Sport. Don't you care? I KNOW there are a lot more people who feel as I do, but just put up with it. In their turn though - they will leave - eventually. PLENTY ALREADY HAVE!!! Nobody seems interested in asking the question WHY people are voting with their feet. Nobody seems to give a damn.

I wish I had a Pound for every time you had Posted the same old things about the Elite League orion. Live and let live I say.

Done.

What have you got against these three Clubs like?

Only my opinion Dave - to which, I think you will agree, I am entitled. That is what the Forum is for - airing your views. When something comes up to which I can contribute - I shall continue to do so.

As, probably, the main moaner on this Forum regarding the 'Play Offs' I would like to make a suggestion. Why not have a Trophy and a Name for the Team finishing TOP!! I would make so bold as to suggest that you could call the Trophy the League Championship Trophy and that you could call the Winners (those at the TOP) the League Champions as indeed they are. Then you could have the 'Play Offs', you could have a Trophy called the 'Play Off' Champion's Trophy the Winner of the Competition to be called the 'Play Off' Champions, as indeed they would be. They could NOT be called League Champions if they have NOT won the League, to call them that would be a misnomer. Problem solved - but - not in Speedway. The solution is simple really.

If those were his League Bikes at Belle Vue last night - he needs to give the Scrap Man a call. :sad:

PLEASE!!! :o NO!!!! We already have it. As long as they don't call him Ludvig - that all.

HaHaHa!!! :rofl: Nice one. :rofl:

It is striving for higher speeds that will be the end of Speedway. The Bikes now are too fast for the Tracks that they are expected to Race on, hence all of the serious injuries these days. There was nothing wrong with the Racing fifty years ago - slower yes, but infinitely safer and just as good if not better, certainly as a spectacle. I know that my views are not popular - but since the advent of the 'Lay Down' Engine the Bikes seem to be far harder to actually control than in the days of the Upright Engines. I would have thought that control would be very important for the safety of the Rider and those he is Racing? There will always be crashes and accidents in a Sport like Speedway - but - should we not be trying to keep these accidents to an absolute minimum? The Racing is the skill - not the speed. Just my opinion - but - I do think I am right. Titanium Parts for Engines. For heavens sake they use Titanium in the Engines of the 'Eurofighter' Jet Aircraft (Typhoon). Says it all really.

Don't flatter him PPM. :o

Not me though.

If you need gimmicks to contrive close Results why don't you watch WWE. Contriving Results is cheating the Public. No wonder Speedway has NO credibility and the Crowds are drifting away. Who wants to watch a Sport where the 'Powers that be' in the Speedway World actually make Rules that technically 'fiddle' the Results. THAT and the 'Play Offs' are the only reasons that I have stopped going to Speedway - perhaps those people in power might consider that, and, that a lot of others may have stopped going for the same reasons. More interesting - Rubbish!!! Speedway is supposed to be a Sport

Paul rode for Sunderland 'Stars' in 1971.

If someone is making a consistent nuisance of themselves - then why are they not Banned for good? Genuine question. It seem a bit of a nonsense to me.

Top man. :approve:

Absolutely no point in a Six Months Ban - if it includes the Winter. A Six Months Ban from the start of next Season would be appropriate.

I believe so. I await to be corrected.

Quite right - they do. They may not be though................................................................... :rolleyes:

:approve:

Aaahhh!! The 'light' dawns.

For all you Mockers on here. I truly hope Belle Vue will succeed - it is really nice to see someone in Speedway with a bit of ambition and forward thinking. This in a Sport which is hardly known for it. I wish nothing but Good Luck to Belle Vue 'ACES' (my Team for over FIFTY years). Perhaps the new Track may bring some of the Glory back to Manchester. I CERTAINLY HOPE SO!!!

Got me baffled too?
