The White Knight

If you didn't have Play Offs - you wouldn't have all this stupid carry on with cut off dates etc. It means some Teams can Race 'X' number of Meetings, and others 'Y' number of Meetings only to lose out on the Play Offs because of the WEATHER. If there was a System where the leading Team in the League actually WON the League (as they should) most Teams would have ridden all their Meetings - there may be the odd Team that doesn't complete their Fixtures but no System is perfect. The Team that finishes TOP of the League is a damned sight fairer and more perfect than the comedy show we are treated to these days. WHAT A WAY TO DECIDE A LEAGUE!!! Edit: If your final statement is taken at face value - it is also a complete waste of time. WHAT is the point of having a League Championship in the first place?

Me too.

As I understand it ALL monies from the GPs and the SWC go directly to BSI.

Whatever happened to Joni Keskinen?

I was thinking particularly of Swindon last Season. If I remember rightly wasn't there only TWO or possibly THREE Swindon Riders riding for them. Four 'Guests' and R/R I think - I stand to be corrected as I am working from memory here.

Yes RD - and on the Television as well.

Legal or illegal? :shock:

I agree Speedway is in a mess, which is why I liked your Post. It just seems to me that the Elite League is in a bigger mess than the Premier League. You are watching NATIONAL League Racing for, at least part of your Meetings. Doubling Up Riders are getting out of hand and yet Elite League Clubs are fielding Premier League/National League Riders at Elite League Prices. THAT to me is not a recipe for success. In fact, it is, in a way, ripping off the Supporters who turn up each week. At least in the Premier League - when I go to watch my Team - I, by and large, get to see my Team and not a hotch potch of Riders riding to make the numbers up. You will probably disagree with this and that is your prerogative.

We must agree to differ.

When they make up their minds. :unsure:

I think there is a fair chance Newcastle might make it because of this.

No I don't - but my statement is logical in the context of the discussion.

You don't want to go there. :nono: That's what caused most of your problems in the first place. :nono:

Terrific News. Best of luck Ricky.

Don't think he had anything to do with it...................... This time.

No it wouldn't - it would cost too much.

Yes - but - WELL worth the effort. I love them. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

In that case I strongly recommend you take a trip to Berwick. Anderson's Pies are to die for. :approve: Seems a bit contradictory that. So you HAVE actually had problems over food and drink.

Jerzy was a very good Rider at times. That was the problem 'at times'. He could end up with a Maximum - or - a Zero. You never knew what to expect...........................

I'd noticed.

That's well worth knowing. Thank you for the information - I will remember it.

Why not - you are the Doctor. :rofl:

I was searched at Cardiff and was told I had to hand two bottles of fruit juice over. I just said "hang on a minute", opened the bottles and swigged half out of each of them in front of the Guards and then chucked them in the nearest bin. There was absolutely no way that the Officious Security Guards were going to get any 'freebies' off me.

Mmmmmmmmmmm - I wonder .........................................

Don't they usually have the AGM overseas. Probably to stop anything like that. Much better idea than a boycott though. :approve:
