The White Knight

Indeed he did. He had the nickname 'Casper', as in 'Caspar the Ghost'. Sadly Ken has passed away. He actually rode for Sunderland 'Saints' in 1964. http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news-centre/article/2015-02-02/kenny-cameron-has-passed-away

Good: Speedway opening in Sunderland in 1964. Speedway opening in Sunderland in 1970. The Racing. The excitement. The spectacle. The friendships formed between Supporters. Friendly banter. Bad: Speedway closing in Sunderland in 1964. (After only NINE Meetings). Speedway closing in Sunderland in 1974. Barry Briggs being T-Boned by Bernt Persson in 1972. I had gone there supporting 'Briggo' and am sure he would have won without Persson's antics. Having to endure Double Points, which made me quit the Sport for a while. Inconsistent Refereeing decisions. Riders not returning to the Tapes immediately following a false Start. Unfriendly banter. Fatalities and Injuries. Gardening. Rule bending by some Promoters.

Robbo for me. He is a great Team man, if not him then Nichols. That's it from me. I won't hold my breath. Even if he did he would probably only pick up two or three in the next Away Match. I'm sorry if folk don't like that - but history suggests that I am right.

Here you go again SCB. You really must be a very bitter person. You are right when you say that a hell of a lot of Pensioners are well of, some of them very well off. However the obverse is also true. There are also a hell of a lot of Pensioners who are not very well off, are indeed very, very poor. Some can afford Speedway every week, but others will inevitably not be able to, and it seems that you want to make them even worse off. I doubt if there are many very well off Pensioners who attend Speedway that often so you are actually having a go at the poorer ones. Shame on you!!! You are either very bitter, very jealous or very selfish or maybe a combination of all three. Shame on you!!!

I wouldn't think anyone would listen to them anyway. I would be too busy concentrating on the racing.

Nothing more to be said really. Well put Rob.

Just chuffed that we are running next year. At the moment - I don't really care who the Riders are.

And also with you.

Cheers gustix.

I wonder why the Website is closed?

Strangely - I can vaguely remember that cover. I am almost sure I purchased that particular Annual for my son way back when.

HaHa - yes. How did you guess.

I know nothing.

Mauger would have to be my number one choice, purely on his professionalism, Racing record and Wordl Championships. Fundin would, on records alone be second on the list - I never saw him ride. Briggo, my personal favourite, would be third (I would like to have put him first), but you cannot overlook the achievements of those above him. Rickardsson would be fourth - again on his World Championship record. Olsen last. Never my favourite Rider, in fact he was one of the ones I liked least. I can't deny he was a very fine Rider though certainly, to my mind, not in the very top class of Riders like the ones above him. Honourable mention for Erik Gundersen who I personally rated higher than Olsen.

Well done Dandelion - you nailed it. Ashley Morris the first Rider. Looking forward to seeing who is next.................?

My optimism justified Ernie.

What venture is that? Absolutely delighted that the 'Diamonds' are running next Season. I have brushed off my Hat already.

Cheers Badge. I will try to watch it.

My feelings exactly bruno.

I totally agree with that ff. I think Scott Nichols would be a great asset to the Championship.

Thank you very much Dave.

RAP!!!

I must say that I can't see the logic here. If Chris Harris can ride Championship Speedway - why not Scott Nichols?

Armando Castagna for me. Is Nico Covetti Italian?
