Presumably he tweeted in the heat of the moment - realised he had made a mistake and deleted them.
We can all lose our tempers and say things we don't mean.
He showed sound common sense in deleting them.
That Post mirrors my view exactly Rob.
We, at Sunderland, didn't have a great Team back in 1971 but the important thing was they were OUR Team. They were OUR Riders and we loved watching them and talking to them.
When Speedway lost that personal touch - I think that, to an extent, it lost it's soul.
Belle Vue it is then - or is it?
We must wait to see what the Promoters decide.
It is a sad reflection on Speedway that it appears that there is only ONE decent Track in the top League. :sad:
Thanks for your reply.
You are quite right in what you say. However - I believe that I am right in my opinion on this one - I just thought you may be interested in an alternative viewpoint.

Personally I mourn the passing of the Open Meetings - the 'one off' World Final too.
I really used to enjoy them - just another thing that has gone out of Speedway presumably for cost purposes. It's exactly the same with the 'Golden Helmet' and the 'Silver Sash', Second Halves too are a sad miss, also Four Team Tournaments.
So many good things gone from Speedway. The Sport now is just a shadow of it's former self in this Country. People of my age (70s and older) certainly had the best that Speedway had to offer. I have absolutely no doubt about that................
Personally I think that BT has done a pretty reasonable job so far. They are a professional Company and I am sure they will get better as they gain more experience of broadcasting Speedway.
I am happy just to wach and see how things develop. At least we are on the Television, so let's just hope that this is the start of a long and happy relationship between BT and Speedway.
