Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochrane, Marty Wilde, Bobby Darin, Elvis, Lonnie Donegan, Tommy Steel, Dion and the Belmonts, The Everly Brothers and Johnny Cash - the list goes on. :party:
I thought Hank Williams was great too - but he was the 40's.
I have my doubts as to if it will be shown. There may be some highlights somewhere but I'm not even sure about that.
I don't like the GP System - but - I am a bit of a hypocrite - it IS Speedway after all.
I don't know about anyone else - but - I am learning a tremendous amount from all of these Posts on this Thread. I hope it keeps going.
GREAT Thread - and thank you to everyone taking part in the Discussions. :)
..............apart from the Paying Public paying MORE for their Speedway.
The Costs are always passed on - Rider to Promoter, Promoter to Supporters - and they wonder why Crowds are dropping. :rolleyes:
Ultimately Speedway NEEDS to be cheaper to participate - not more expensive. Everyone chasing faster times seem hell bent on sending the Sport faster to destruction.
It will also make the Sport more dangerous than it is now - I don't know about everyone else - but - I've had enough of seeing Riders get hurt.
As I understand it the SKY money stays in the Elite League with a little sweetener every now and again for the Premier League when one of their Meetings are shown.
It seems to me that a situation COULD come to pass whereby there is a repeat of 1964 (remember Unlicensed Tracks then).
Perhaps another Provincial League type of arrangement is on the horizon.
Who knows?
We must wait and see.
I don't think that this has run it's course yet though - far from it.
Interesting times..........................
I was going to press the LIKE button on this Post. I have not done that because I do not like what Pandorum has to say.
The problem is that he is 100% CORRECT in what he says.
WELL DONE on a b****y good Post Pandorum!!! :approve:
