The White Knight

But League Racing is the bread and butter of BRITISH Speedway. BSI (owners of the GP Series) do not, as far as I know, plough any of the money made from the Grand Prix Series back in to Speedway - either British, Swedish, Polish or Danish. It is all pure Profit for them. They put on a good Show - but crucially - the ONLY people to make money out of the GPs are BSI. This is one of the main reasons that I am so against the GP Series - it is a business venture rather than a Sport. .............................. and that is what I quoted. Oh! and I didn't read it wrong. Perhaps YOU read MY Post wrongly though. :)

Cheers Ernie. :approve:

You certainly gave me a shock. I thought I'd missed something. :)

If you are directing this Post at me I will be only too happy to explain. I never mentioned Leathers. You stated that, in your opinion, the Speedway World Cup has it almost rite (sic) I was having a play on the word 'Joker', you know, the stupid System that rewards failure in the S.W.C. That's all. If THAT is what you call getting it right - then heaven help Speedway. :rolleyes:

Hasn't Mickey Dyer retired? :unsure:

You ARE a 'JOKER'!! :mad:

That is the big question. I have been concerned about that too. Perhaps someone who knows about these things could enlighten us??

Totally agree with BOTH of those sentiments E I Addio. I would like also to wish for a SAFER Season than last year with much reduced injuries. Ideally I'd prefer no injuries at all - but - due to the nature of the Sport - THAT is an enormous ask. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HEALTH TO ALL OF THE RIDERS IN ALL OF THE LEAGUES.

Agreed - and I've met some of them. :approve:

Has he got any cronies? :shock: :shock:

Elite League snob is actually a misnomer as from now. The Elite League Supporter has absolutely NOTHING to be snobbish about - especially not now that it is Elite/NATIONAL League. At least at Premier League level we will see fifteen Heats of reasonably matched Riders. The Elite/NATIONAL League however - is now clearly an inferior product, therefore, the Term Elite League 'SNOB' is no longer relevant or justified......

You forgot 'Double Points' Doc. :shock:

................................... aaaaaahhhhh - now you are getting there. :approve: :approve:

NO!!! :)

The best ten Riders that I have actually seen in action would be: 1) Barry Briggs 2) Ivan Mauger 3) Malcolm Simmons 4) Ronnie Moore 5) Martin Ashby 6) Jason Crump 7) Tony Rickardsson 8) Tomasz Gollob 9) Ray Wilson 10) Zenon Plech These are in no particular order by the way.

I was talking about the bastardisation of the English Language actually.........................................

Fancy giving up Speedway to watch some doddery old Pensioners, who should know better, staggering about on Stage making a right royal racket. It beggars belief. There REALLY are some sad people in this World. They also must have more money than sense.

An EXCELLENT accolade - Speedway Star 'PROGRAMME'** of the Year. **We are NOT American - yet!!! :mad:

He did - change the nationality from South African to Australian - D'arcy Ward.

Oh Lord - he is back. :shock: :rolleyes: Merry Christmas HRF.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to look back when things in Speedway were MUCH better than they are nowadays. We MAY even learn how to improve things in our chosen Sport by correcting some of the many mistakes that have been made over the last thirty years or so.

Yes - but he may not have noticed that he had 'Liked' his own Post.

I couldn't agree more. PC has experience of all sides of Speedway. To treat his views with such contempt is not only pathetic, I believe it shows ignorance too. As for the insult - well - I would far rather hear from PC than whoever quoted the 'Chips and Gravy' remark. Very RUDE, very INSULTING - I don't think an apology would go amiss.

I had to 'unlike' one of my Posts when noticed that I had hit the 'Like' button instead of the 'Quote' button. It is easily done. If you don't notice - well you can see the result.

Methinks he probably pressed the 'Like' button in error. It can be done.
