Perhaps you should explain yourself better...................................................................... :rolleyes: Oh! and I understood what you meant only too well.

There is no Logic that makes either of them right either. :angry:

The word used was was commitment Dave. I pay to watch Riders/Players doing their BEST. Sure sometimes they are off Form but, I expect them to at the very least be try their best. You pay good money to get in to a Speedway Meeting - are you saying that Riders should not give of their best? If that is what you are saying - then I disagree with you totally.

So you are saying that you know better than Barry Briggs who has been involved with Speedway for most of his life. In this instance, I know whose views I would give the most credibility speedibee. :)

"more commitment" If THAT is true - then they are robbing the Public of their hard earned Cash at what you call "ordinary matches". :mad: So with THAT argument we should not bother going to the "ordinary matches" and just go along for the 'Play Offs'. :rolleyes: I always thought Sportsmen were supposed to do their very best at all times. Well - you learn something new every day.

My my, so complimentary - THANK YOU kind Sir.

Yes - I have collected four of them now.

If you don't like what I Post, how I Post and my style of Posting for emphasis - then DON'T READ IT. I don't have a problem with that. SIMPLES really

Oh - but I think it is.

No. :rofl:

Thank you.

Only ONE thing is causing a heck of a lot of these Crashes - 'Lay Down' Engines. I've always said this and now, no lesser person than Barry Briggs agrees with me. He reckons that they make the Bikes harder to control.

So you would have a Speedway Show. There is no way that you could call what you are proposing - SPORT!! What a JOKE!!!! :shock:

OH!! CRUMBS!!! :mad: Oh!! CRIKEY!!! :mad: Very fair question. Looking at the above Posts - why do I have that sinking feeling. :rolleyes: LIFEBELT ANYBODY? :sad:

That's a cop out Niamh - and I think that you know it. :rofl: :rofl:

Certainly hope so. .......................... at Newcastle. :approve:

Yes - right. Hang tha Sport - go for the MONEY. People drifting away from Speedway in droves, a lot because of credibility problems. So yes let's make money from the Play Offs and s*d the Sport for the rest of the year. Unless, of course, EVERY Team from National, Premier and Elite Leagues gets a cut of the 'Play Off' money. None of this though, invalidates the argument that the Play Off System is UNFAIR and IMMORAL. It does not matter from which angle that you look at it - THAT is a FACT!!!

BOTH are on 7.39 according to an earlier Post on this Thread.

Thank you orion. I will take your word for that - I didn't know about it.

I DO watch them every week ThePinstripe. I am prepared to accept that maybe, in the future Lindgren MAY be a better Rider than Tully. At present he isn't as is proved by the Averages, he is the same. The BIG plus for Newcastle and for Tully is that, as I have said before, Tully is a damned good Team Rider. It may be/is a dying art in Speedway but I still like to watch it. Done well it really adds to the Meeting for me. Tully does it well - and long may he continue to do so.

I wish I could get a 'Babe' instead of a name. :shock:

When, and where?

No but the fact that Andrew Tully is GOOD at it and can do it well, on the same Average as a Rider who doesn't, surely makes him worth that little bit more.

No Premier League Teams I know of have ridden with only THREE of their OWN Riders. That IS uniquely an Elite League problem.

I don't think Niamh is able to answer the questions Ghostwalker.
