The White Knight

We all moan about the demise of TeamGB (horrid name) but these days it is difficult to blame the Team Manager. A Team Manager is only as good as the Riders he can put out on the Track and currently we don't have enough of these for our International Team to shine. :sad: Sorry - not the Manager's fault (Middlo) - lack of real talent is the problem. :sad:

Len Silver was always great entertainment back in the Seventies. When he opened Sunderland Speedway back in 1971 he always came on the Centre Green at Boldon with his Microphone and announced "Good afternoon everyone and welcome to 'SANNY SANDERLAND' - - even when it was pouring with rain.

A very good point that - so good in fact that it was obviously worthy of repeating.

MOST appropriate if you ask me. Very best of luck with this venture. :approve:

Harsh oldace.

I know - you are right. I took exception to the wording, that is all.

How's the Weather at Brough? :unsure:

Is that not classed as abusing Forum Members??? :angry:

I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference - Speedway Star is a WEEKLY Publication. Inside Speedway is a QUARTERLY Magazine. If you want to keep up to date with what is happening in the Speedway World then you buy Speedway Star. If you just want a general read about Speedway once in a while - then Inside Speedway is for you.

I, a confirmed ante GP man - thoroughly enjoyed Eurosports coverage last night. Well done to them. :approve:

I'm afraid not gustix - I'm afraid I'll be long dead before Sunderland would be even considered. Thank you for your Post though. :)

Sadly Sunderland is not mentioned on your List. It never is on anyone's List. Sadly I think Sunderland is a forgotten City as far as Speedway is concerned. :sad: Very best wishes to all at Ellesmere Port - I sincerely hope that the Sport can be revived there.

Let's hope at least someone asks the relevant questions.

Cynic.

Crikey!!! A former Sunderland Player Arson.

WOW!! :shock: That's a bit of a shaker.

At a guess - because they need the Centre Green for Hockey etc.

Wrong!!! Glyn ALWAYS produced good Tracks, and that is what we are talking about here. Problem is, of course, if bad Tracks are produced regularly then folk will stop coming. That must be a concern to you - especially as one of your Riders is complaining about it to the point he is allegedly requesting the sack. See above.

I think this sort of thing bodes well for the future of Speedway coverage by SKY. I just hope that a new Contract can be sorted out at the end of the current one.

Naughty. :rofl: :rofl:

This seems to come up regularly these days. It's a shame because when Glyn Taylor looked after the Track I thought it was great. :sad:

I thought someone said he was only twenty three - if he needs a 'Carer' he must be getting on a bit. :shock: :shock:

I don't agree. I think that as long as it is not overused it is good. Something a bit different. Well done to SKY for trying to vary things a little. :approve:

Only time will tell where Ward ends up. Champ - or - Chump. We must wait and see.

I thought that's what Councils did. :shock:
