The White Knight

This is a DISCUSSION Forum - we can discuss what we like, when we like and how we like thank you.

If you have a name like 'Hugh Skidmore' that in itself deserves to give you the Rider of the year Title. The name perfectly describes Speedway.

.............. and here in Sunderland FORTY years ago. Let's hope that Glasgow can be pulled around and will run next Season.

Suirely you don't mean Track rigging?

Don't be silly. This is Speedway - it is FAR MORE complicated than that. Perhaps you should contact Professor Stephen Hawking.

Jim Tebby rode for Wimbledon I believe.

Lack of Castrol 'R' smell doesn't help either.

Crikey gustix - you DO go back a long way. Some of the above I recognize - and some I don't. I have highlighted the ones whose names I can remember. I actually met Danny Dunton once a few years ago.

Couldn't agree more. I said as much to Tsunami last night only to be chased for my pains. I think that George should have instructed the two Riders to go for a 3-3. I know, as Tsunami went to great lengths to point out, that I have argued in the past that ALL Riders should be giving 100% - however, if you are riding the best you can for your TEAM - then attempting to BLOCK a TACTICAL RIDE is being TACTICAL isn't it? Or - am I missing something?

There is a certain logic to your suggestion, but, would in work in practice? I don't know. It would need perhaps one of our more scientific Posters to comment methinks.

Does he like doing re-runs. :rofl:

It might just happen Ray - with some of the Posts you put on here. :rofl:

Mmmm!! You a probably right Ray - silly me. :rolleyes: :)

Well said Humphrey. Not ideal but far better than the current System. :approve:

Somerset are by all that is fair and honest LEAGUE CHAMPIONS now in my book. I would say that even if the 'Diamonds' had WON the 'Play Offs'. Somerset are now heading for the Double - League Champions AND 'Play Off' Champions. I am thinking (only thinking at the moment) of giving Speedway a miss next year after last night's Meeting - this (so called) Tactical Ride, Double Points is really getting to me. Once again I left the Meeting angry and upset about the injustice of it all. I am sorry but I cannot see where this ridiculous Rule benefits our Sport at all. I love my Speedway, to see four Riders hurtling around a relatively small Track is very exciting and invigorating. I also like to support a Team and see Fair Play - it's the way I was brought up. Presently the Sport is NOT Fair by any stretch of the imagination, it is, as I have said on here many times, contrived. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD PAY GOOD MONEY TO GET ANGRY AND UPSET!!!!

Nice to see you at Brough Park Nick.

No - but the image they present of our Sport WILL!!!

WOW!!! Now that WAS a quick answer Robbie B. :approve:

What about everyone else's household?

Let's just hope that Rosen doesn't go to Poland then.

Edited for accuracy. :mad:

Hope you are right. (I assume it is Rosen you are talking about). I do want the 'lean, mean racing machine' to stay as well.

But only ONE Team can get him - and - it MIGHT be us. :)

I understand that he is - yes.

What about Robbo?
