Haha - very good. :rofl:

Should be good. Best of luck - I hope that it is a success. I'm sure it will be. :approve:

Best of luck in your Finals speedy19902006

It was offered by Erik Gundersen. The truth is - NO-ONE WANTS TO KNOW. :sad:

Well said Matt Ford. Let us hope that Ward is wise and sensible enough to take Matt's advice. I somehow doubt it though. :sad:

At the end of this - it would be good if you Posted some of your results on here. I think they will be interesting.

Haha - that takes me back Arson - used to watch Grange Hill with my son. Do you remember 'Booga' Benson and 'Gripper' Stebson? oh yes and 'Bullet' the PE Master. :shock:

I have met and like Middlo - but - as I say - IF he did say what he is quoted as saying then he should resign as TeamGB Manager. I am NOT sniping at him - but what he is alleged to have said is not acceptable from a person in his position. Ward is just a puerile prat.

Ah yes - the good old days. :approve:

Yeah!! Trading fairness and Good Sportsmanship for the Cash rewards of the 'Play Offs'. Sold Speedway's credibility down the river. Thirty pieces of silver spring to mind - a betrayal of the word Sport. GREAT isn't it? :rolleyes:

Done!! :)

I agree it sound odd - BUT - the National Team Manager is a far higher profile job than a League Team Manager. Speedway needs to keep it's nose clean if it wishes to raise it's profile. Speaking as Poole Manager carries a lot less weight than speaking as a TeamGB Manager. That is what I meant.

Havvy - Drugs - Banned Lee - Drugs - Banned Bird - Drugs - Banned Ward - Drugs - .................................................................................? Are our Speedway Authorities - CONSISTENT???

Reluctantly I have to go along with the majority on this issue. I think Neil Middleditch is a very good Team Manager for both Poole and TeamGB. I believe that if he made the remarks attributed to him, then his position is untenable with a high profile position like Manager of TeamGB. As such he should resign. He should still carry on as Manager of Poole though.

Here's hoping.................................................

Play Offs - VERY bad. :mad:

Who??? :sad:

You know Dean Machine - I think you just about covered it there. EXCELLENT Post. :approve: You are right about the 'laydowns' too - if a little understated.

Well said Arson. If I was younger- I would be there, but arthritic hands have put a stop to that. I used to work on the track at Boldon when Sunderland were running.

Thank you mythman. I enjoyed my Copy. :)

Personally - I would rather watch the League Meetings. Perhaps I am in a minority of one - but - I prefer TEAM Speedway to the GPs.

...........or too many people are falling down them. Like me.

Cynic!! :rofl:

Sad news. R.I.P. +

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.
