The White Knight

I thought Paul Starke rode very well for Berwick last night. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a 'Diamonds' Kevlar next Season.

It wasn't me who had the FIVE Pies. If I ever meet View from the 3rd bend - I would seriously like to shake his/her hand though. I don't think I could manage more than the TWO. :sad:

I haven't tried the Burgers - I can't get past the Pies. :P

British Speedway is living beyond it's means. We simply CANNOT afford all of the Foreign Imports in the Elite League, some of which are no better than Premier League standard Second Strings. Time to get REAL Folks.

Hell's Teeth!!! :shock: :shock:

However - IF there were to be only ONE League next Season - who would Richie Worrall ride for then - the 'Diamonds' or the 'Aces'? :unsure: I can't lose - I support BOTH Teams.

Nothing but nothing compares to the Anderson's PIES at Berwick. They are to die for. :approve: I'm glad I don't live up there - I'd weigh a Ton. :)

I take it as read that he WILL be back next year. I really rate him. It's just that I don't want Robbo to be forgotten about either.

I KNOW!!! Nicely put JTW. :rofl:

The Meeting last night was over as a true contest by the end of Heat 4. I was disappointed with Berwick's performance which I expected to be better. On the plus side - it was nice to meet up with screm again.

To some people Referees are always Mr. Magoo. :rolleyes: :sad: That's not to say that they never get it wrong though.

Whilst I agree with a lot of your Post - personally I would love to see Robbo back next Season. :approve:

I have said this before - ANYONE who sticks their leg over a Speedway Bike and rides it has my utmost admiration. I think (hope) that the term 'wobbler' is an affectionate rather than an insulting one to indicate a complete novice. As has been said - EVERYONE has to start somewhere.

.............are you SURE that there will be an Elite League next year? :unsure:

YOU may well be right - BUT - it still does not make the arbitrary gifting of a place MORALLY RIGHT - or - for that matter FAIR. I know that I do go on about this - but - it really does bug me. Sorry.

You are not actually - I too have enjoyed Speedway on SKY for years, and yes, their coverage IS fantastic - I have loved it. So I totally agree with you there. The trouble is that everything has a downside - I'm not sure how good for Speedway SKY has been. Because of them a number of daft Rules were introduced and also people found that they could watch their Speedway sitting comfortably in their Living Room without venturing out to their Track. This naturally affected attendances and the state of Speedway in this Country declined, to my mind, faster than if SKY had NOT become involved in the Sport. On balance - I think that League Speedway would have been better Supported by the Public had it never been Televised. ............................ and I may be in a minority of ONE on this issue.

I just LOVE this GIVE a spot to a Pole. They should bl**dy QUALIFY!!! :angry: No matter what nationality they are.

I can, as usual, find myself in complete agreement with you. .......................................... apart from a couple of issues.

I have been supporting Speedway since 1964 and I have never seen a Rider react as quick as Andrew Tully did tonight. He laid down his Bike in a split second and I reckon stopped a bad situation being VERY much worse. He earned a Public Commendation from the Referee - and my goodness - he deserved it. :approve: Well done Andy.

Well - at least you will NOT have to ask that question next Season Al. :shock:

I wasn't 'Uncle Len' was it? :shock:

I do hope you are right Skidder1. If they haven't been planning really hard - then Speedway is in deeper doo-doo than I thought. If they are not paying the over priced Foreigners they could reduce their Prices at the Gate accordingly. Actually that may induce more Supporters to come along rather than less. Just a thought.

I didn't know that. :shock:

Why???

Have you finished yet?
