The White Knight

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.

NO!!! Speedway. :sad:

Will you be commenting that his Four Valve Engines have virtually wrecked Speedway. Granted he didn't know that at the time, but ultimately that was the result.

That's only four norbold.

I can only repeat that looking at the Track against Belle Vue on the Television it was nothing short of a disgrace. I can't see Supporters flooding back to Speedway if that is the best racing surface they can come up with.

I can certainly appreciate that WW. :rolleyes:

iris - I had forgotten about him. I think he was very good at Ice Racing too if my memory? serves me well.

Samoradov?

Igor Plechanov - probably the best ever Rider not to have ridden in the British League.. Rune Holta Grigori Khlinovsky Victor Trofimov Valery Gordeev Honourable mention Aleksandr Pavlov. Edit: Must stop repeating myself.

For me the best Speedway Programme I have ever seen is the Newcastle Magazine. I say Magazine because it is far more than just a Programme. If I was forced to criticise it in any way - it wouldn't fit my Programme Board. I could live with that though - because there was always great reading in the content. I haven't been to Newcastle for a couple of years now - I do hope they have kept up the quality and content.. 10/10 for me.

Sadly that is very true. We need to look after BT - there isn't anyone else - at least I don't think there is?

Barry Simpson is excellent at Redcar and has done a British Grand Prix too.

To answer your question posed in the Thread Title directly. ME!!! :party:

A Topic is already running on this sad News.

It must have been bad if you can't reproduce it on here for our delectation.

Actually I can remember reading his Meeting Reports in Speedway Star back in the day.

I watched the Poole v. 'Aces' Meeting too. I totally agree with you about the Track - it looked dreadful - the Riders were bouncing around all over the place. Rough as hell. GREAT Result though. :approve:

Eric Linden for me. He was always worth reading.

I know it is difficult to compare eras - but I would have thought that Mauger would have made your list ahead of Jack Milne.

Sad news. R.I.P. + Ila.

True Sidney - but the calibre of his opposition has also to be considered in winning those Titles? Were all of the Americans racing in Europe involved in the Championships Bast won - I don't know. But if they weren't, it would surely make his achievement of seven Titles a bit suspect when it comes to being a truly great Rider. Don't you agree?

Enjoyed the Meeting tonight.

Others did.

Three GREAT Posts. :rofl: :rofl:

I know you didn't mean it in an insulting way though Dandelion. I just didn't realise how long ago 'Allo, 'allo was broadcast.
