The White Knight

True - but - ONE Point is easier to pull back than Four. Looking forward to tomorrow though.

I didn't think so at the time - on sober reflection - he probably did. Hindsight, however, is a wonderful thing.

I hope they can get the Meeting on. Hopefully a good Meeting will ensue and there will be NO injuries.

:rofl: :rofl: Very good.

What about the Premier/National Leagues?

I feel sorry for Josh Auty - if he could Gate what a Rider he could be sidney. Bags of guts and good to watch. He could eventually be a GP Rider but for his Gating. :sad: :shock:

Mmmmm - never thought of that Shale Shaker. You are probably right. A Scoreboard WOULD be good for Supporter relations though - I wonder if they ever think of that?

Good Post. Sadly you are right, the problem is I cannot see anything improving soon to increase the number of pennies coming in. Once last years Government 'cuts' really bite there will be less disposable income for most people. On top of that the Government are proposing yet another raft of 'cuts', about 10% I believe. When they hit the general public - I really fear for the future - not just for some Tracks - but for the future of Speedway, as we know it, altogether. It won't just be Speedway, other minor Sports will suffer too.

Yes Chewbacca - I should have mentioned that - a tremendous effort from Lewis. :approve:

50-43 - Seven Points down at the end. Hopefully we can pull that back at Brough. More lovely silverware perhaps.

I beg to differ - you do on occasions.

Not looking great at the moment.

A great idea - but - I can't see Electronic Scoreboards coming any time soon. It would cost a lot of money and in these times of austerity I doubt if any Tracks could afford it anyway. You could argue that Speedway cannot afford NOT to do it in order to not only keep the Crowds they already have - but maybe lose even more if they don't.

Police might have something to say about this.....................................................................

I must say that considering the 'Diamonds' start to the Season, they have to be the favourites. Fingers crossed that the Meetings can go ahead (weather) and all Riders stay safe.

No you didn't - however you certainly used emotive language, which I highlighted - asking about a family member possibly being killed - therefore your Post was over the top.

A bit over the top - I think. Ben Barker didn't kill anyone - neither did Ward. Let's keep things in perspective here.

How about Double, Triple or even Quadruple Points?

Crikey!!! Glass half empty or what???? :o

Great Post - I LOVE the highlighted bit - and what's more - you are probably right. BEST NEWS POSSIBLE. Here's to a long and renewed future for Belle Vue Speedway - the most famous name in the Sport and MY Elite League Team too. I hope that those who were so negative in the past will now support this venture which those of us who have remained faithful to the cause have been doing all along. Thank you for letting us know Phil. UP THE 'ACES'!!!

Perhaps they could include an Individual Score Chart at the end of the Meeting. I'm sure they used to do this. A pity they stopped. :sad:

You may be right about getting rid of GoSpeed - but - they probably have Speedway Promoters over a barrel with Legal Contracts etc. It may not be so easy to do.........................

.................... and there's the rub. The Riders aren't going to take too kindly to that.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Speedway on SKY last night. I thought that Chris Louis was excellent and that the 'around the Tracks' Sections were terrific. I wish folk wouldn't have a go at Sam Ermolenko and Ryan Sullivan - they were both trying to do something new - I thought, considering that, they both did rather well. A big Well Done to SKY - they have done their best to improve their product and they should be praised for that. I, for one, hope that SKY can renew their Speedway Contract from next year. I prefer the League Speedway to the GPs** anyway. Perhaps we could see a bit more Premier League Speedway. Just a suggestion. **Even though I watch the GPs.
