The White Knight

I am NOT in favour of Betting at Speedway Meetings. I do not think that a Betting environment is a good place to bring Children. We pride ourselves on being a 'FAMILY SPORT' so for me this would not be a goer.

Thank you Star Lady. :approve:

That would be good. A Prize (Cash) for the first Rider to beat the 'Black Knight'. It would be great for kids - just the sort of thing that would appeal to them. Home and visiting Heat Leaders could all have a go. Races to be run before the Meeting x 2. During the Interval x 2. After the last Race in the Match x 2. I'm sure there will be some reason it CAN'T be done - but I still think it is a good idea.

Possibly because this is a Discussion Forum. People LIKE to discuss things. Sorry.

You may be right Blazeaway - we will just have to wait and see. Personally - I hope that he does behave himself because he really is a prodigious talent. If he applies himself he could challenge the likes of Rickardsson and Mauger for number of World Titles - or - he could end up in jail. Only time will tell - I hope he sticks to Speedway and ignores other distractions though.

Sadly though, the way things are going, blupanther will be proved right. :sad:

Patience, patience.

They probably never thought of that. :rolleyes:

Not on your life 1st bend Kestrel - not on your life. :)

Did you? - I never saw it.

Yes - we are keeping it going until the younger generation come along. Note to self: Blanket, yes, Chair, yes, Umbrella, yes, Sandwiches, yes, Flask, yes!!! Great - all ready for the new Season.

Surely it is not beyond the whit of man to organise some kind of National Second Half Competition then. Make it worthwhile to ride in - and off we go. 13 Heats plus Second Half. Problem solved. Q.E.D.

COST!!! :shock: You ARE joking. This is the BSPA we are talking about. Spending money is not their forte.

So do I - click - so do I - click - so do I - click - so do I.

You are right norbold. Certainly Freddie should be in the top three - in fact - he could have been Number One (which he is in my book) but for the fact that Freddie won both of his Titles at his Home Track. I will change my top three: 1) Peter Craven 2)Freddie Williams 3) Peter Collins. I tend to think more of the Riders I have actually watched Racing when answering these sorts of questions. Thank you for pointing that out.

Yes - Well Done to him for that. :approve: Perhaps this is the start of a NEW Darcy - I certainly hope so.

I agree totally - but - does the Sport not also need to target all those who are lost to the Sport - those who used to attend and then stopped for whatever reason.

Damn - you beat me to it. 13 Heats every time for me. But then again - I'm an 'old git' and can remember the good times.

You TEASE you.

I have NO worries about 'Speedway Star's' survival. It ran for years with a Monthly Magazine - 'Speedway Express' - and, of course the Weekly 'Speedway Mail'. Personally, I hope that this is a success because the more quality periodicals that are available to us Supporters the better as far as I am concerned. Slightly different I know - but there are also the EXCELLENT offerings from Retro Speedway in the form of 'BackTrack' and 'Classic Speedway'. Very best wishes to 'Inside Speedway'..........................

I'm just waiting for an Official Announcement from..............................................................somewhere. :unsure:

Great about the Cover - shame about the silly Rules that haven't been removed.

Nor me. Puzzled of Sunderland.

Aaaahhh - but will they actually DO anything. I could listen to hard words - but - I couldn't pay Ten Grand. I am NOT anti Poole Starman - but - I value our Sports reputation - this incident certainly does not help in that department..

Simmo finished SECOND one year sidney.
