The White Knight

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:

Thank you very much for that Dandelion. You are a superstar. Again - many thanks. Ian.

John Berry said a lot of very sensible things. Would that he was around and involved in Speedway these days.

Belle Vue did it the right way. The evidence for this is the excellent Racing at the Track. Their template should be used in any future (hopefully) new purpose built Tracks/Stadia.

The List doesn't even mention the Sunderland 1964 Team.

I think this is an interesting initiative. I look forward to hearing more about it. Be interesting to know the Promoter's view of the proposal though. If done properly it could bring great benefit to Speedway. If not done properly, or if it just becomes a talking then they might as well not bother. Very good luck with it though.

Really? Sounds good to me.

Personally I would reverse that and say that we need the Bikes to suit the Tracks............

I'm not shutting you down. I just don't think your idea, which certainly has a lot of merit, in my opinion, will be implemented because of the lack of foresight by the Speedway Authorities.

That requires some form of intelligence.
