The White Knight

Tried to access Site today. Been fine all weekend, thought it was fixed - obviously isn't, as, once again I am unable to get on. This isn't going to encourage any new prospective Speedway Supporters is it? It may well put off a few, including those like myself, whose only contact with Speedway these days is the Website or the Television. Come on SGB - it looks amateurish - sort it out!!

I think the initial Post is good one. I totally agree with it.

Me too.

I too am using Chrome. I too am having great difficulty entering the Site. This has only happened, for me, over the last couple of weeks. Not a great advert for the Sport. What is going on? PS: Thanks for the tip uk_martin. I will try another browser. PPS: Didn't work there either.

As a member of The National Trust for Scotland - I get an OAP Price for my subscription.

Sad to see the demise of my favourite magazines. I have read all of them from back to front. I do get other periodicals that I read the parts that interest me. The thing about Backtrack and Classic Speedway was that I read every single word. I will miss them very much - but - I do have every single copy of both to look back on, and, that at least is a great compensation. Thanks to Tony, Susie et al for all their hard work, they can be very proud of how their Magazines have enterained us over the years. In a very real sense I can say - - -- 'THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES'.

Superb Book. A most impressive tome. Looks good on my bookshelves too. It is really well worth getting for Christmas. Very highly recommended.

R.I.P. + Gavin. My condolences to Family and friends.

Great innovation - if this is the only way forward to ensure the future of Speedway - I'm all for it. Tiimes change, and so, sadly, must we. I would, of course, miss the noise, as I already miss the smell.

Not surprised about this - I have been expecting it. Another historic Speedway Team down the swannee. I am desperately sorry for all those faithful 'Robins' fans. It is truly gut wrenching. I llike what they have written in their Statement, but in this current financial crisis in the Country, sadly I can't see it happening. I so very much hope that I am wrong.

My copy is ordered as well.

I was browsing e--bay when I came across this. I was immediately suspicious as to their validity: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314134739717?hash=item4923e3bb05:g:iUUAAOSwdnNjFnbi&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsPM%2FEZKjcIn59TekxUz%2FaAhUg6e7EndMWnP%2B%2FssudEjRYxj8H%2BKgCTRZjnN47VDe%2FNyvujWSHpiNMPJRRZhScOBJ0K4RpPhJLOn%2B0zsX%2BLNei%2FJ6v4osrs0HuDVzEHWwcH4SJTVm5vQ4RoWrPuo9sZh9CXTCF35wogc4b4mlFeIXO1ixoaTgKj2WDkRPVEGE52w6EkDopJkJosOUSkcn4i4WJ0iqKGwC1YaCGeDlKsJs|tkp%3ABk9SR5L076XvYA PLAYER CIGARETTE CARD SET - SPEEDWAY RIDERS (1937) - 50 CARD SET - EX/CON. Ex-Con. - what's that all about?

I think this should be a friendly Forum. I know I have had a few problems with some folk in the past. I sincerely hope that I didn't bully anyone and if anyone feels I did, then I apologise to them. When I see an elderly gentleman being harassed, and to use your expression, having the piss taken out of him, I have the right not to agree and to say so. Has it ever occurred to you that John may be the same as me - suffering from memory problems. I don't know if he is or not, but it is possible and isn't nice.

Sadly the unpleasantness goes on. I confirms to me why I don't bother very much any more. Sad really.

I'm fine apart from arthritis thanks. Hope you and yours are well too ch958. Yes, I have seen tthe houses - sadly I suspect that may be the end of the road for the 'Robins'. Personally, I think it is a bloody disgrace.

Me too Steve, all to sadly, nothing out of the normal though.

Tony says he is in talks - we must await the result. Fingers crossed.

R.I.P. + Ray.

Me too. When I used to go.

I'm fine thank you ch958. I don't get to Whitley Bay any more, or the Speedway. Very sad it closed at Newcastle though. I hope everyone is OK with you..

I do hope it is from the 'BackTrack' era.

Me too. not sure why though?

Sunderland 'Saints' 1964. Sunderland 'Stars' 1971 to 1973. Sunderland 'Gladiators' 1974. Not bad for a Team that was on Track for only 4.5 years in total.

Not just you. Me too.

I too have subscribed to both Backtrack and Classic Speedway Magazines. I am so sad that Tony and Susie feel unable to carry on with what, in my opinion, is a really good and professional Magazine. I loved all of the articles, as a 1970s Speedway enthusiast I think they are impossible to beat. I get a number of none Speedway related magazines but the two Speedway periodicals are the ones I look forward to the most. The '70s were a special time for me and Speedway and I love revelling in the memories evoked by both of these publications. I will miss my 'phonecalls to Backtrack, and talking to Susie when I renew my subscription. It was like talking to a family member. I would like to thank both Tony and Susie for all of their very hard work in producing these two wonderful magazines. I will miss them very, very much should they have to close down. Tony, Susie, I wish you every success in the future, you have kept me happy with my memories. I don't think I can give you higher praise than that. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
