That, if correct, is a downright disgrace. One of our finest ever Riders (Belle Vue and England), former World Champion. No the wonder Speedway is in a state if we can't give true prominence to a former 'GREAT' of the Sport.
In this day and age surely Laser Starts are the way to go. If nobody touches the Beam then it is a good Start. If they do - then it should be straightforward finding out who was the cause.
I must confess to having no idea how much something like this would cost though.
What about Tintin?

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:
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.
