As long as it's not a Meerkat.................. :rofl:

OI!!! Leave the poor Dog alone. :mad:

I would imagine they are quite happy with them. :rofl:

Yes but the 'Speedway Star' only gets the odd mention - they don't talk about it. Things like saying 'it was in the 'Speedway Star' this week is hardly advertising in the accepted sense is it?

Great win for the 'Diamonds' tonight. :approve:

Could you enlarge on that a little please Blazeaway? I don't really understand the "jobs for the boys" reference. I'm not being awkward, I'm not trolling - I would just like to know how you arrive at that viewpoint.

Yes - we must be patient with Steve. I am expecting great things from both Worrall Brothers in the future.

I'm looking forward to Sunday. I hope the Weather stays Fine and that we can have a good Meeting with no Casualties on either Team.

For Pete's sake what is the matter with you. Does it REALLY matter whether some like the Commentators or not? I happen to like them, I don't know them, and I am NOT licking anyone's backside. Commentators are like Whisky, it's a matter of TASTE. Clearly these two are not to your taste and that is fine. I would be prepared to bet that MORE folk like them than dislike them. You always have the option of your 'Volume' Button or your 'Off' Button. I would suggest that you use them. It just MIGHT help you - though - I doubt it.

'Sigh'!!! :rolleyes: The fact that the Commentators are mentioning 'Speedway Star' is a plus for Speedway as well as a plus for 'Speedway Star'. Newcomers will learn that there is a Magazine out there where they can follow up on the GP and may find out that there is a Track local to them in their area. They may even consider popping along to watch a Meeting live and become regular Supporters. Can you not see that Blazeaway? I am all for advertising anything that raises the profile of our Sport - what is so wrong with that? As for 'Speedway Star' benefiting - so it should, it is after all, the ONLY Weekly Magazine around for our Sport.

:sad:

In this instance it was problems with the Track that caused the delay at the Start of the Meeting.

A very sensible suggestion nightshift. :approve:

Well said that man!! Len Silver is a true Speedway man - I doubt if there is anyone currently in Speedway who has put as much effort in to the Sport as he has over the years. :approve:

Asking for trouble is that dantodan.

Very sad some of the comments on here. At Sunderland this is the FORTIETH year without Speedway. We have had no Promoter to rave at. I am not saying that you should accept poor Racing but surely if a big enough Group of you got together and approached the Promoter he would have to listen to your concerns. I was delighted when Leicester got it's own Track and all this talk of folk walking away is very depressing. I have never been to Leicester so please forgive my interjection but, as you know, you can be a very long time without Speedway. I wish Leicester Speedway well in the future. :sad: :sad:

I understand that facilities for Training and Mechanical School (for want of a better name) will be at Belle Vue. So if that is so, and it is available to ALL would be Riders throughout the Country - then it is indeed a NATIONAL Stadium. Also - if holding Big Meetings there, International Matches, SWC etc. - then I think the name 'National Stadium' is pretty good and not the misnomer that you imply. It is certainly NOT a Marketing gimmick.

:rofl:

A DRAW for me.

Me too. :approve:

When you put it like that - I do hope you are right.

Nice reply.

You are way out of line with the above Post Backless. I am used to reading your cynical Postings, rarely if ever do you Post anything positive. Why do you have to be so nasty? There is absolutely no need for it. I happen to like the idea that Tony has put forward and would probably by a copy of the resulting Book. Everyone is entitled to their views - you don't like the idea - I have no problem with that but others may like to contribute to the proposed Book - why shouldn't they? Tony has produced some excellent Books in the past - I am sure this new one will be just as good. Oh!! I am not a GOAT by the way. Best of Luck with the Book Tony. Don't be put off by folk like this.

I know Rochdale was in effect Belle Vue second Team with Peter Collins etc. riding for them - but - to be honest I can't remember about Ellesmere Port being a Feeder Club. I am prepared to admit - it is my memory, it's not what it used to be. AGE you know. :mad:

That's what we are hoping for.
