The White Knight

Oh Behave. :rofl: :rofl:

I don't agree with that B.V. 72. I have stopped going purely and simply because of the Rules of Speedway these days. Double Points, Play Offs etc. are not for me. I still love the actual Sport though. I have also been a big and consistent supporter of Belle Vue's new Stadium. I will, I hope, get the chance to attend one Meeting there at some stage.

Substitute Robbo for Bach and I think that would be a decent Team. :approve:

Spoken like a true follower of Robert E. Lee. A good ol' Southern Boy.

What a jolly good idea. They do this in Cricket for a slow Over Rate - so why can they not do something similar in Speedway. Something like that would cut out this constant returning to the Pits following a false Start. It would also punish Promoters who deliberately over run Meetings to increase their take at the Bar. It would encourage Promoters to get the Meetings started ON TIME. Obviously time would have to be added on if someone is injured - that should go without saying - but the length of the Stoppage could be timed and added on at the end so that no Fines are issued because of injury. I would add that, time for attending to injuries MUST NOT put Paramedics or Medical Staff under any pressure to clear the Track. The injured Rider MUST come first - no matter how long it takes.

Well if Robbo, King and Kerr leave - who will be Number One? Over to you RD.

There isn't any credibility. It's yet another silly Rule which needs scrapping next Season. NOTHING can make THAT a sensible Rule. Quote from Niki Lauda on the Television. He referred to the "STUPID Double Points Rule" in Formula One for the last GP. It's just as STUPID in Speedway.

Well I hope Robbo is back next year also the two Lewises preferably with Lewis Rose at Reserve with Simon Neilsen.

Signed. Very best of luck to you all.

Not very - I hope.

They could go back to printing it on the same type of paper as Private Eye - that would reduce the Costs. It was like that for many, many years.

There used to be more "considered reporting" years ago. Not now though sadly. Probably that is my main grouse about 'Speedway Star' it needs to be more controversial - not for the sake of it. The journalism is lacking, most of the Track Reports seem to written by someone at the said Track. They are hardly going to rock the boat are they. There used to be more of them too. Certainly more 'in depth' than the candy floss efforts these days. See above. I would still recommend the Magazine though and it is good for Results etc.

Certainly is RD........................................

Very naughty dropping George, the Promotion and the Supporters in the mire like that though. :mad: Other Promotions take Note.

No!!!

Maybe the Sport as a whole. But certainly not Sunderland. :mad: :mad:

Which is why Trades Unions have to have secret Ballots.

If they did away with the 'Play Offs' the problem would be solved.

Everest springs to mind.

Nope - all over by the looks of it. :sad:

Super read - thank you for putting this on Had Enough Too. :approve:

That too. But BSI are a contributory factor - even you cannot deny that.

Unless the Weather............................................... :sad:

I'm afraid so sidney. The root cause of the dilution and ruination of our British Leagues is the GP System - and I - for one - cannot forgive them (BSI) for that.

I have no problem with the Australian GP. As I said, I'm not bothered if they hold one in Timbuktu. Speedway sold it's soul to BSI who contribute nothing to the Sport in the various Leagues around the World, but just treat them as feeder farms for the GPs. They do not produce their own Riders - that is done by the said Leagues. BSI - GPs just reap the benefits.
