The White Knight

Ooops. I never thought of looking there for some reason. Age probably. Thank you very much skittle_face.

Could someone please confirm for me whether or not our Groupons Vouchers can be used at this Meeting? Thanking you in anticipation. :)

I think I will be happy just to see the Meeting go ahead. B****y Weather. :mad:

Nice to see you back on the Forum Norbold. You have been missed. :approve:

Don't lots of foreign Riders?

This doesn't happen a lot. BUT - I totally agree with you backless. I was saddened that the Presentation wasn't shown. It would have been had it been Cricket, Football, Rugby or Golf. Obviously SKY don't consider there are enough Viewers to worry about keeping us Speedway Supporters happy. :sad: It's great that SKY show the Event - but - it is always nice to see the Prizes awarded at the end. Here's hoping for the next time.

Shame this - two weeks with no Speedway - how will I cope? :sad: Thank you for Posting the fact that the Meeting is 'Off' early folks.

I'm still very concerned about the Weather. By the look of the Weather Map on BBC - it looks like it could be the same as last week. :unsure:

Not offended by your comments in any way Old Saint. I just profoundly disagree with them. Our Military are very necessary in this day and age when Terrorism across the World is rife. If the Security risk is deemed by those who decide these things to require an Army/Navy/Air Force presence, then I personally would be glad to see them. I would also feel a lot safer because of them. I do not believe that this sort of thing will lead to the militarization of our Streets - it is just taking sensible precautions - that is all. Imagine if there HAD been an incident and there were no Troops present - the General Public would be demanding to know why they were not being protected - justifiably so in my opinion. The more protection the better as far as I am concerned. You are though, entitled to your opinion.

People don't need to know the Rules. ...............................or so I am told. :rolleyes:

Yes Diamonds7 - I noticed that. I will be keeping everything crossed for Monday Night. It really has been a dreadful year this from the Weather point of view. Newcastle haven't suffered too badly in the early part of the Season. Let's just hope that the Meeting will be 'on' and that we can get some Speedway on Monday. I am missing my 'fix'. :sad:

Great idea.

Cracking read as usual. I was (perhaps unsurprisingly) very interested in the Q & A with Colin McKee, a Member of the Sunderland 'Saints' 1964 Team.. :approve:

I travelled to Brough from Sunderland more in hope than expectation of some Speedway. Despite the very hard work of the Track Staff the Meeting was called off. I totally agree with the decision - it is not worth seeing someone seriously hurt to run a Speedway Meeting in the Weather/Track conditions that were appertaining today. It could have been called off earlier - but it was obvious that both of the Promotions wanted to get the Meeting run. I only hope the Groupon Ticket Holders (me) will return for the re-staging.

:rofl:

Any Weather Updates from Brough please? Ooops. Sorry diamonds7 we must have Posted at the same time.

No injuries on either Side please. Weather Forecast not looking too good.

Good News. :approve:

I have watched Speedway since 1964. It seems that there are a number of Rules I don't know about and still more that confuse the hell out of me. Just how complicated they want to make four blokes riding around a track - I don't know. :sad:

Hi Bobbath Thank you for taking the time to explain to me. I understand now. Best Ian

????

Should the BSPA not be looking in to this? If things are so bad at Plymouth then I would have thought some action was required by the Ruling Body?

Let's hope that this can be sorted soon - there is nothing like Rumours for wrecking a Club. They create unrest and dissatisfaction. Very destructive.

Sunderland had a great Track too. All the Riders used to think it was a very fair Track. There was good Racing too. Didn't compare to Hyde Road mind..................................

I have noticed that by far the most popular Track on which to watch Speedway Racing seems to have been Belle Vue - Hyde Road. Certainly it was the best Track for Racing that I ever visited. Let's just hope that if they can get this new Stadium built that the Track will be as good as Hyde Road - if it is - I'm sure the Crowds will come flocking back. There was something about Hyde Road - it was maybe the atmosphere when it was full. Aahhhh!! Happy Memories and Happy Days!! Sad those days are gone now.
