The White Knight

Ryan Fisher.

I would still have a word with Len. I am sure he would sort this out for you.

Bit embarassing this. Yes - I did get mixed up (put it down to age and senility ) I'm sorry about that. However the fact DOES remain that the ELRC is not a patch on the Competition it (or the BLRC equivalent) USED to be. :sad: Thank you to both keef and IO for putting me right - as the Headmaster used to say - "must try harder".

I'm pretty sure that they cannot get out of someone using this Ticket as long as the qualifications (age) are met. I would certainly have a word with Len Silver regarding this Shadders and if you get no joy - then Trading Standards it is. Perhaps someone 'on the Gate' has made a mistake - it happens.

He was a super Rider when he came to England in 1964 with Gordon Guasco to ride for the ill fated Sunderland 'Saints'. :approve: Finished the 1964 Season with Wolverhampton. :sad: He went on to great things at Sheffield.

:angry:

Oh for the 'Good Old Days' when Riders were honoured to appear in the BLRC. Ask Briggo, Mauger, Wilson etc. Winning the Meeting in those days REALLY meant something. Scott Nicholls has won the Event Six Times - so has Briggo - BUT - there is no comparison in the opposition.

Spot on!!

Greg deserves all the superlatives and plaudits that he is getting on this Thread. It is GREAT to see him as World Champion again. I always hoped this would happen - but - was always wondering what would go wrong. Thankfully nothing did. :approve: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Greg. You are now one of the true legends of our Sport, and such a nice bloke too :approve: Good luck for the future and dare we hope for a repeat in 2012. GO GREG!!!!!

Difficult choice. Speedway MUST win though - in the end. :approve:

Barry Briggs.

I was under a misapprehension. I apologise to everyone, particularly to Diesel and Blazeaway. Thank you for your information HenryW.

I would argue that Nigel Boocock was at least as good as Eric. Les Collins finished second in a World Final - that's why I put him above those you have mentioned.

A very good Rider - but - NOT the BEST Rider we have ever produced. Collins (Peter & Les), Morton, Lee and Simmons and possibly Jessup were better. From previous eras Peter Craven, Freddie Williams too were superior though these sort of things can never be proved. For courage though - many were as brave as Carter but none more so. Just my opinion.

As SKY now OWN Virgin - WHY aren't the benefits of BOTH SKY and VIRGIN made available to BOTH sets of Subscribers??? :unsure:

:blink:

No - but perhaps they should be. :rofl:

It makes me VERY sad - but - I have to agree with that Statement at present. :sad:

I like Holta. Should have taken time out to allow his wrists to heal. He IS a gutsy Rider but with his wrists in the condition they are - he could end up hurting himself or someone else. I don't like the 'Picks' idea - but - if we have to have it I hope Holta will be back next year. He is an exciting Riuder to watch.

Shame Jason Lyons isn't riding. I would have thought of him as a Contender.

BEST by a long way!!! :approve: .............as is evidenced by a THIRTY ONE Point lead in the Series. :approve: I cannot understand why anyone should call Greg Hancock boring - could it be because he comes over as a perfect Gentleman, as opposed to some of our Antipodean friends who think it is clever to swear on the Television.

FLAMING TENNIS!!! :angry:

I agree Drac - shame about Jason though. :sad:

Yes - you are probably right. I thought it still looked messy on the Television. I felt sorry for the Riders - they didn't seem to have a clue what was going on. More worrying - neither did anyone else for a time. Still - mistakes do happen. Not a great advert though, I'm afraid. :sad:

SUPERB!!! from Greg tonight. I really do hope that he can go on and win the Championship. As little as I like the GP System I would be very happy to see him triumph. :approve: GO GREG!!!!
