The White Knight

Great Thread this. I don't know either way - but - I really am enjoying the Discussion.

A pity it is so far away - I would love to have gone. :cry:

I wonder if anyone has read Cinderfellas by Dave Lanning and could advise me of what they thought of it please? Thanking you in anticipation. Ian.

I must admit I quite liked the look of Robin Aspergren last time I saw him ride at Newcastle.

No - I agree with you. I thought he was a very good Rider. Was talking to Ken Eyre at a Long Eaton Reunion last year. He is a really nice bloke who obviously loves Speedway.

I liked Ken's style. He was a very tidy Rider.

Surprised nobody has mention Ken Eyre.

LATEST: St. Patrick rides for the 'Diamonds'. :P

The Referee ALWAYS makes the wrong decision. :D

Judging by this - you are right. :rofl:

Perhaps it's stopped.

:rofl: :rofl:

SIGH!!! Some of us are................................................................... :sad: :cry:

A rhetorical question I guess?

He gets a mention here: http://wimbledon-speedway.com/riders.html

Daft question. :rolleyes: But to answer it - yes - unfortunately. :sad:

I believe it will take time to restore our fortunes at International level. Roscoe must be given that time. I think Roscoe is capable of doing the job,, and doing it well - BUT - he will need the support of everybody - Fans - Promoters - Riders - everyone. What is needed is a combination of Training/Coaching and patience.

Not long to wait now Batgirl. :)

Time we looked to our FRIENDS and not that misbegotten set of crooks in Europe. :mad:

Nor should he.

Because - if they don't - it is a VERY sad indictment of our Country. :angry:

Well I think this is a positive start from Roscoe. I believe that he has tried to strike a balance between youth and experience - everyone starts with a clean sheet. Success won't come overnight - but giving some youngsters a chance cannot do any harm in my opinion. Good luck Roscoe - I really do hope you succeed in reviving 'Great Britain''s Speedway fortunes. We really have been in the doldrums for far too long.

I really hope he does well in the new Season - nobody would be more pleased than me. If he gets some consistency he might even keep the Number One Racejacket. Up until now his achievement has been patchy to say the least. Particularly Away from Home. We shall just have to wait and see.

Ludvig Lingren for me. World beater in one Heat who can become a rank amateur in the next.

I think they should go back to Leathers anyway.
