The White Knight

Well said Mike. :approve:

It's all about opinion. :)

Keep Posting please Wilko. You insight is very interesting. For what it is worth - you would be in my Team on your average too.

DAMN!!!!! :shock:

I know. It can be done though and THAT is what I was getting at.

Who - ME!!! Sheldon is GREAT!!! :approve:

Does it really matter - they were BOTH National Leagues - so where is the problem. No Dates were stated in the original Post - and it IS interesting to read about the old stagers of our Sport. So come on - let's have a bit of fairness here.

Sounds good to me. after all - America do it for the Boxing.

I enjoyed the Meeting last night (apart from the cold). I agree that it took too long to run the Meeting - but - with injuries to fallen Riders you cannot be too careful I suppose. I would like to congratulate BOTH Teams - and particularly the Track Staff - I think they did a great job getting the Track in to a Raceable state. Times for most Races were not far off normal. Newcastle Riders all did well and well done to Lewis Kerr on his Paid Maximum - let's hope there are many more to come. For Redcar - I thought Lawson looked good when in front but the Rider who impressed me most was the one lots of Redcar Supporters seem to complain about - Carl Wilkinson. His never say die, 100% efforts were much appreciated as he contributed hugely to the entertainment on the Track.

Join the Club. :rolleyes: The main problem I have in my life is my memory. :sad:

Those were the days. We British ruled the World. :approve: :rofl:

Graeme Smith (Canterbury/Sunderland), Trevor Geer (Eastbourne), Richard Greer (Peterborough), Bruce Forrester (Teeside) and Doug Wyer (Berwick). Those are my five favourite Riders - however I must also mention one Rider who was usually worth the admission money alone and that was 'Crazy' Jack ('Millen the Villain') Millen (Crewe/Sunderland). Probably the MOST entertaining Rider I have ever seen and we were VERY fortunate to have seen his BEST years at Sunderland. When you mention Speedway to folk in Sunderland today - Jack Millen is the name that still comes up. Amazing when you consider that we haven't had a Track for FORTY years. My five top Riders were more skillful and stylish than Jack - but - if you desperately needed Points - Jack was the man to get them - one way or another.

Tai is very obviously a Character (far too few of them in Speedway today) and it is great to see the attention both himself and the Sport are getting from his reign as World Champion. Whilst I personally am not overly enamoured with his Earrings, Tattoos etc. I have to admit that without his very Individualistic style, he may never have been World Champion today. He is a REAL credit to Speedway and his Family. So - good luck to the Lad - he has brought far more to British Speedway than MOST and he should be lauded for that.

HaHa - I WAS!!! :blink: I was caught like a blooming rabbit in headlights. :rofl:

Elite League causing trouble to Premier League Teams already. :mad: No surprise there then. :mad:

All right - I give in - I couldn't work out how to use the bl**dy Photo Machine. :sad: :rofl:

WHO? Berwick or Redcar?

GOOD GRIEF!!! SMILED!!!! :shock: Speedway is far too serious a subject to smile.

Me too.

Thank you very much for that Falcon Hammer. :approve:

Hoots mon!! Awa wi' ye. :rofl:

Hope you are right about the Weather Dave. Fingers crossed.

Any chance of a 'Link' please.

You are right Nick - it was really sad what happened at the weekend - for BOTH Speedway itself and for a famous old Club like Coventry. :sad: Let's hope that they can put this behind them and that it will be smooth running for the rest of the Season.

I wonder what the Track is like? :sad:
