THAT we will never find out, nor should we. We should however be getting to know about any Plans for the future without SKY. ................. or perhaps there aren't any. :blink:

Perhaps not yourself LL - but a significant number of Leicester Supporter were on here shouting the odds.

And therein lies the problem. Speedway has bent over backwards to accommodate SKY. In a very real sense Speedway has prostituted itself to make itself acceptable to SKY - Play Offs, Double Points, Jokers and yes, even Helmet Covers etc. Now SKY will just walk away leaving Speedway in the lurch and minus a lot of Supporters who gave up because of the aforementioned sops to the Television Company. It certainly proves that, whilst Speedway has been pretty good for SKY - I'm not sure that SKY has brought ANY long term benefits to Speedway.

NOT sure we did actually. :D

I saw him in the 1972 World Final. R.I.P. + Viktor.

I certainly think that it would be better over two Nights. On Monday the production seemed so frenetic it was ridiculous. :sad:

Actually - some of us have. :sad:

:rolleyes:

BRING BACK RIDER CONTROL!!! :blink:

Cardiff????

You'll do for me dantodan. :approve:

....................... and MACKEMS!!! Agreed about HT - it is always good fun and a pleasure to chat to him, and indeed yourself Dave. :)

PRECISELY!!! That revenue stream has dried up good and proper now, with the SGP System. If SKY money goes down the drain too - we will find out who has been over ambitious with their spending over the years. Sadly - I think the majority of Clubs to be in difficulty will be those in the Elite League. (I am NOT having a go at the Elite League - I am just stating a fact).

I second that Dave. All the best Bryn.

Well put. :rofl:

Obviously. :rofl:

Felt very sorry for the Ipswich Supporters tonight. I was looking forward to a good Meeting and moaning as usual that Ippo had two Double Points Rides to make the Thirteen Point recovery very difficult for us and then both Lanham and then Barker (who is excellent around the Brough Park Track) were lost through unfortunate injuries. The Ipswich Team were then effectively down to four Riders as they were already using R/R because of injury to Tungate at Workington. The remaining Riders tried their best to compete but in one Race could only Track one Rider. I am really glad that we won the Cup but the Meeting totally lost it's edge after the injuries. Newcastle though could only ride their best against whoever was put out against them and they did so with great efficiency. To sum up - GREAT to pick up some Silverware - sad that it came about in the way it did. (Not Newcastle's fault though - no Newcastle Riders were involved in the accidents). I would like to wish a speedy recovery to both Leigh Lanham and Ben Barker.

Just think about what I Posted for a moment. :rolleyes:

May the best Team win tonight with no injuries on either side. I hope it's us though. :unsure: Heading off now to pick up my Pal - and - Brough Park here we come.........................

Well said Sir. THAT should shut them up.

The Elite League NEEDS the Premier League to survive. You can't say that the Premier League needs the Elite League to survive - if it did - it would be dead!!!

I would agree that Tully can have the odd off night - but - Lindgren is far more inconsistent than Tully - plus Tully can Team Ride. That is something It seems Lindgren hasn't heard about. If he has - he doesn't think it applies to him.

That is ONLY for Elite League Teams isn't it? Negotiations with SKY seem to concentrate on the Elite League at the expense of all others. This is despite the fact that MOST Premier League Meetings that have been shown were terrific Entertainment - unlike some Elite League Meetings.

I don't want Andrew Tully to leave - but - to my mind Lindgren is far too inconsistant - sometimes in one Meeting - never mind over a Season. I think we could probably do better than him next Season.

Fair enough cheekycobra. :)
