The White Knight

I wonder if you would say that if you were one (Pensioner). I somehow doubt it. It is largely PENSIONERS who are keeping Speedway going in this country and have done for years. Some Pensioners ARE rich, however, a hell of a lot aren't. You need to think about that.

I thought Sophie Blake was excellent.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.

Yes, I remember them well. There were some juicy battles between those two. I had a lot of time for Jack. Not so much Frank though, I'm trying to be charitable here. 😉

Sorry, I misunderstood. 😳 Age, I reckon.😉

Too true.

Leave Jack out of this. He rode for Sunderland 'Stars' and, therefore, could not be dirty. 😉 Hard, yes, but not dirty. 🙂

All signed up. 👍 Very best wishes for the future (hopefully) of Swindon Speedway. 🙂

I must admit that I very much enjoy Classic Speedway Memories. 👍 A great read. 👏

I find it very strange that after 17,890 odd Posts - I am ranked as a 'Newbie'. 😉🤣🤣

Sunderland. Perfect for Speedway. Nothing, as far as I know, to prevent Speedway returning as the Greyhound Stadium is still there and much improved to what it was in the '60s and '70s. I would very much doubt whether any Promoters would be interested - but - the Stadium is there.

Crumbs, you are right. I hadn't fully realised either.

A must read for me: 1964 to 1974.

I have just found this page. I have lodged my objection.

Very sad. R.I.P. + Reg.

I knew Vic through the World Speedway Riders Association. He was a very good friend to us when we joined. My sincere condolences go to his Family and his many Friends. I am very saddened by this news. R.I.P. + Vic.

That made me smile anyway....................... Am I bitter - YUP!!!!!

Very sad news. I remember him riding at Sunderland. My condolences go to his Family and friends. R.I.P. +

I would have liked to have 'Like'd this Post. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't. I've been unable to for months, despite reporting it.

Ahhh yes!!! 1964 - The year Sunderland 'Saints' got 'stuffed' by their own Promoters'. Never forget - never forgive either.

29 - John Boulger - 18/06/1945. First one younger than me.

There are quite a few of us suffering from that particular malady.
