The White Knight

Jimmy Ogisu or something like that. If I remember correctly. (sorry - I'm not sure about the spelling). Do you enjoy hounding an elderly gentleman? Certainly seems like it to me.

I look forward to it HT my friend.

Is that in 'Savile Row'?

I could never see Jack Millen and Frank Aufrett being 'matey'. :shock: :shock:

So are you saying that those who have paid their money for the longest should be put out to grass - and - not have an opinion. I would like to see how many Tracks would survive relying on the 'younger generation'. :mad: Your final sentence is just insulting. :mad:

....................... so do you looking at your Avatar. :rofl:

Not as bad as Peterborough's. :rofl:

None whatsoever - I agree. :unsure:

GREAT stuff that Gemini.

Good to hear.

A bit extreme - but - I agree with that.

...................... no RED? :shock:

Why thank you kind Lady. :cry:

I totally agree with you BW. SADLY ...................................... :sad:

TUT, TUT. :nono:

Let's hope not eh. Dave.

Again - I quite agree with your comments about his attitude which seems first class. The problem is that I keep being told that the Elite League is far superior to the Premier League. If that is the case - then he must be far too good a Rider for mere Premier League racing. He is an Elite League Number One after all. Craig Cook would probably fit in to the same bracket.

:rofl: :rofl:

Yes! IF the Elite League is the TOP League that folk claim it to be then Jason Doyle would be too good for the Premier League. It would be like feeding candy (money) to a baby. THAT is of course, IF the Elite League is that strong.

Ooops!! Looks like I Post this on the wrong Thread. There are TWO of them: I totally agree - BUT - what is the answer? Too much noise and a Track could be closed down these days so you HAVE to reduce the noise. For me, the open exhausts were the best - they certainly made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. :approve: :approve: Sadly - you just can't allow that these days. Bl**dy Health and Safety/Noise Abatement crap. Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for a good smell of Castrol 'R'.

Nor should it!!! :mad:

Aaahhh!! That's better BW - I can't agree with that. Speedway is missing villains. It used to be great years ago when you had Riders like 'Crazy' Jack (Millen the Villain) Millen, Tony Childs, Taffy Owen - these were all characters that the Home Supporters loved but that the away were enraged by, due to their behaviour. It made for atmosphere. People would come along just to watch these 'Characters' sadly this side of things seems to be lost to the Sport. Like things I have alluded to on other Threads - most of the Riders are the same these days. Oh - I nearly forgot BW - I'm 69 in about two weeks time. I don't know whether THAT qualifies me as an "older fan" - but - I loved those characters, at least they were entertaining.

Let's just hope his taste has improved over the years.

I would like to add my thanks too. The Support of former Riders, not just Sunderland Riders has been phenomenal. The only sad thing is that since 1974 there has been no Sunderland Team to support. Happiness is 40-38. Ian Martin.
