The White Knight

BLOODY HELL!!!! The Ex Riders pay to come to our Sunderland Speedway Reunion. They have to buy a Ticket the same as all of us - even the Organisers. Some of them travel a heck of a long way as well. We really do appreciate them coming. A lot of them have done it for over ten years now. Difference in generations looks like.

That idea, to me, has a lot to recommend it. Everyone would then know exactly how they stood, including those important folk who don't seem to matter much in Speedway - the Supporters.

I have, and still wear a 1964 Sunderland 'Saints' Badge complete with 1964 Year Bar. Sad really I suppose - but it helps keep the memories alive. :sad:

Tight Git!!! :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww - Go on.

Good Post. I think that is the way to go. Joker ride - well the answer is in the name - a JOKE!!!

You'll get NO argument from me on that.

Absolutely ridiculous - no wonder the bloody Sport is about knackered.

Perhaps I should stop Posting until this evening Gemini. Sincerely hope all goes well.

Naughty.

Just watched the Clip. It is First Class - so many memories in there. Very best wishes on your efforts Save Coventry Speedway. I don't know what else to say really - but there is always hope.

I saw Jimmy Squibb at Sunderland riding for Eastbourne, I believe. Nice to know I have seen the longest serving Rider in British Speedway.

I'm sure it will be.

As I said..................................

A nice laugh at the end of the day. Thank you.

I never do. I don't think there should be any Substitutions at all. Speedway is all about Results on the Track. Any, ANY Substitutions/Double Points is a mere contrivance of the Result.

I agree - even if he anticipates the Start.

Fair comment ff.

You could start a Campaign on that.

So once they are established and they 'kick off' - refuse to employ them the following Season. Easy really. But it won't happen because if a Team finds itself in trouble and needs a top Rider - we all know what will happen. Don't we?

Therefore he must have had a Note. End of story really.

Well said Sir.

Surely a lot of this is speculation. If a Rider has a condition the renders him unable to ride, from time to time, then he should be covered by a Doctor's Note. If this is so - then there is no argument. Unsure whether the Ban he received is justified or not, especially in view of other culprits.

Dreadful!!!

Everyone seems to be generalising here. That is wrong. Some Australians are a positive influence on our Speedway, some are not. I would agree with not employing those who are always moaning as claimed by a few on here - but the others are not guilty by association, they are all individuals and some are great assets to our Sport. Josh Grajczonek has done nothing wrong as far as I know - why should he, or others like him, be treated as pariahs due to he actions of a certain few of their Countrymen.. Those who behave themselves should be welcomed as they bring something different and add colour to our Sport.
