The White Knight

Amazing how folk have differing opinions. I love watching Adam ride. :approve:

It gives me no pleasure at all to say you are right. :sad:

I liked them both as Riders.

Malcolm Simmons. :shock: You are joking.

That is why I don't agree with Gambling in Speedway. Cricket and Football have been adversely effected by Gambling, fixing of Matches, No Balls etc. Why would Speedway be any different when it comes to Match fixing?.

The late, great Freddie Williams told me that Wembley regularly had Gates of 75,000 plus. If only those days could return. :sad:

Nope.

Thank you very much Aleksandr for your help. I don't really get these new computermebobs. According to someone on another Thread - I will need to learn English first. :rofl: Edited to reflect the fact that NO Translate option presents itself for me.

A Translation might be good. :blink:

Not always though................................................

I hope they are listening.

I can't wait for them going over the JUMPS. :rofl: :rofl:

Yes - you are right - I agree with you. Where it all went wrong, you allude to in the second highlighted part of your Post. For THAT reason SKY's continuing involvement with Speedway is NOT doing the job it was/is supposed to do. That money should have been used to push the Sport, raise it's profile - at least we can agree on something.

Obviously Greg is too much of a Gentleman for your tastes. :sad:

Don't think this will be any good to me. I don't bet, and I don't go in to Bookies. Not my bag I'm afraid.

But it doesn't do that - does it? :sad:

I 'Liked' your Post Gemini - not for the Riders you picked (I disagree with some of them) - but - the way you phrased it. EXCELLENT!!! :approve:

................................... not as impressive as the 'One Off' World Final used to be.

He shouldn't have to explain himself TWICE. It's good that he comes on here to try to keep us informed as best he can - without going over things more than once.

Ivan Mauger. Probably one of the very best Speedway Riders to grace our Tracks in this Country. I admired him greatly, but I didn't really like him (not on a personal level, I didn't know him) but as a Rider there was always something about him that put me off. Perhaps it was his shenanigans at the Tapes which I regarded as not being fair on other Riders. I never felt the same about Mauger as I did Peter Collins or Barry Briggs.

Fair enough Philip - it is good that we can differ in our views in a friendly manner.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again this coming Season Nick. :approve: Why are Pirates Pirates? - because they Aaaaaaarrrr!!! :rofl:

Perhaps you are right. But worryingly - perhaps you are wrong. It is something we will never know. I know you support BSI involvement Philip, or appear to from your Posts. But how can it be right that everything made out of the GP Series goes to BSI without anything feeding back to help the Sport that spawned the GP Series in the first place. I see BSI as hawks who have got there claws in to a good little earner for themselves. I will ask you a direct question. Are BSI putting anything back in to Speedway to encourage it's growth and welfare, or are they just sitting back and raking in the Cash?

I re-iterate - I can see absolutely NO benefit for British Speedway at all from the GP Series. BSI put VERY LITTLE, if anything in to our Sport - but I bet they get a decent return from the GP Series. As I said - they are a Business, not a Sport - they would NOT run it if there was not a decent Profit in it for them.

I honestly don't believe that BRITISH Speedway benefits in any way from the GP Series. :sad: BSI however............................................... If they didn't make anything out of it - they wouldn't run it.
