The White Knight

I wonder how Monster feel about it? Not a great advert for them is it?

Nowhere that I can find. Odd really.

That will probably mean the end of any of the top Riders coming here. Sad really. It certainly will not help British Speedway and it's standing in the World.

So do I. I still live in hope. I know what it is like to lose my Track for Speedway.

Yes - but I think he meant that the Track conditions made it even more dangerous. (Holder that is).

To be totally honest - I have some sympathy with that viewpoint.

It states here he did: http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/10246251.Speedway_ace_Darcy_Ward_issues_apology_after_drink_and_drugs_arrest/?ref=rc or it did? PIRATES star Darcy Ward apologised to his fans, colleagues and employers after admitting: “I made a mistake.” Ward today issued a statement via speedway365.com after The Queensland Times reported that he had been convicted of fleeing police on a motorbike while under the influence of drink and drugs. Pirates ace Ward, 20, admitted a string of offences when he appeared in court in his native Australia, according to reports. The report claimed Ward had been drinking and smoking marijuana when police attempted to pull him over in his home town of Camira. He is alleged to have fled on an unregistered and uninsured motorbike but was later located by officers. He is reported to have been fined $5,500.

We already are squeezed from all sides. We have no choice but to accept it.

Possibly so - but that would be a gamble.

If you are the Tenant of the Stadium, to a certain extent you are at the mercy of the Landlord. If Speedway picks two days a week that will suit some Tracks they may find that those two days are impossible for other Tracks and vice versa. What I am saying is that the two night Plan may be very good in theory - but in practice it could, I repeat could, force certain Tracks out of business. Is that what you want? You have to admit that it is possible.

No idea - but are you saying I am wrong?

Yes Dandelion, thanks to you. I've just made another small Edit. (Div. 2). Thanks again. Ian.

Let's just hope and pray there is one. :sad:

Actually - I believe you get 'Double Points' for just turning up.

I've edited all the changes scarletrider.

Damn it!!! I have run out of 'Likes'. I like your Post Dandelion. :approve:

Now I can 100% agree with that.

The answer to that is yes, in my opinion. Good grief!!! - you don't want to bring morals in to a discussion on Speedway.

Errrrrm - it is certainly helping.

To which you are perfectly entitled Badge. :approve:

Just one thing to alter - I am going to have a go myself. If I get stuck I'll get back to you. EDIT: Hi Dandelion I did it!!!! Thank you so much for your help. I have joined Wikipedia. Ian.

My preferred option is as RPNYC says 3 for a Win, 1 for a Draw and nothing for Losing. Straightforward and to the point. Dead easy and no reason for anyone to be confused. I think keeping things simple is the way to go, it is a simple Sport. Or it would be if the Rules weren't continually changed to suit one Track/Promoter or another. Speedway isn't big on credibility sadly. It is OK - but a little confusing to some.

I think there is a lot of merit in this. Perhaps if we start at the bottom, we may unearth a future Peter Collins, Michael Lee or a Mark Loram in time. It's all going to hell in a handcart at present.

It would if said Tracks are in rented Stadia. They may only have the option of one night only. If it wasn't, then your solution is going to close down a Track. Do I take it that certain Tracks are expendable then? Because I think that that situation would be highly probable. I was just about to say you were wrong. Then I did the Math as the Americans would say.

How very true that is. Perhaps they should try tightening the Contracts up, so they are more Legally binding. :unsure:
