  1. I thought you were going to say the Crowd was 'Rock' Bottom. I'll get me coat...................................... Back to BLACK LEATHERS I say - now THAT'S - COOL!!! B)
  2. Plenty of self righteous folk on here. Personally - I would prefer to wait until the FULL facts come out before commenting.
  3. I was lucky enough to see a number of clashes (sometimes literally) between Jack Millen and Tony Childs some of their Races were epic - but - neither would give an inch. I used to think he was a dirty Rider but that, I think, was because I supported Sunderland. Remembering now I think of two very hard men who were prepared to dish it out - but - could take it as well. I remember them both with respect. May they both Rest in Peace.
  4. I'm glad you didn't own a CAT. :shock: Ooops - sorry.
  5. That doesn't answer the question about an alternative System though. I don't think that MOST Speedway Supporters like the 'Guest System' but what else can we do? As has already been pointed out - if you get hammered at Home every week because you are filling in with Juniors people will stop attending - once they are lost to Speedway it is b****y difficult to get them back. We found THAT out at Sunderland near enough forty years ago. As has been said, a Pool (no pun intended) of Riders is far too expensive and would not be workable anyway. What Rider worth his salt would be prepared to sit in the Pits week after week with no Rides if there were no injuries. The Squad rotation System wouldn't work either because Riders need MORE Rides not less. I appreciate what you are saying Rob - BUT - I can't think of any other workable System - can you? Until that question is answered, I guess we are stuck with 'Guest Riders'.
  6. Very sad News - I hope he recovers quickly. Once again injury strikes, and so early in the Season - Best wishes Max.
  7. I think Kus is a big let down. He seems, in general, to finish either First or Last when I have seen him. If he is leading in to the first bend - he will probably win - if if he is not leading - then he doesn't seem interested. I am sure that if I am wrong about this, and I may be, someone will put me right.
  8. Cracking Result for the 'Diamonds' this. I must admit - I didn't expect it. I was most impressed with the Scores from Stuart, Richie and Ludwig. Roll on Sunday - and ANOTHER Trophy in the Cabinet.
  9. I think you should subscribe - I haven't seen it on sale anywhere either. Hope this helps.
  10. What a good idea. The Number Eight would then be an ....... APPENDIX. :rofl:
  11. Oh - for pete's sake. OK - it WAS mentioned - but SURELY that is GOOD for Speedway in general. You know - PUBLICITY and all that. Spreading the word is important and ANY mention of the Speedway Press is a good thing in my book. Honestly - what will people find to complain about next.
  12. :rofl: Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate Kevlars. A double whammy - no Tactical Rides in 1958 either - Bring it on.
  13. Black Leathers and Racejackets for me - with a 'proper' Diamond on it.
  14. It seems like an opportunity missed to me. There will be some reason no doubt - but - I can't think what.
  15. Thoroughly enjoyed myself last night***. Good Speedway, Good Companions at the Track, Good Weather (if a bit COLD for my taste - brrrrrr) it's really great to get back in the groove again. *** Apart from the Tactical Rides Tsunami and Halifaxtiger. :rofl:
