The White Knight

That is some really good news for Speedway for a change. Long may it continue. Hopefully it will encourage BT to continue with Speedway next year, and into the future.

You are very probably right, but the thing is - they still apply whether you have read the small print or not.

I bet they were a picture. :rofl: :rofl:

George English (Senior) at both Sunderland and Newcastle was very prominent in the Supporter's Club.

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.

Now that made me smile rr. :rofl:

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.

If that is so - then he has every right to enter the Britsh Championship.

Which only reinforces my view that Natalie should be fronting up the Speedway.

I suppose the motto for Lewis should be, don't bite the hands that feed you - until you have retired.

Actually - I agree. Personally though I prefer to listen to Natalie's informed comments. I think she is very good at what she does, very professional.

It was OK the last time I was there.

The Child Benefit cheque must have arrived Ernie. :rofl:

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:

Let's hope not. He is a good prospect.

Can they, or will they? As far as Poole are concerned, we can only wait and see.

But if it isn't?????????????

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. Ian.

I think you'll find that it can. :sad:

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................

Hate - is a very strong word. Do you not mean he just didn't like him very much? :rofl:

You will never write a truer, more accurate sentence in your life. :approve:

At least there is some good News around.

Lewis Kerr is a decent Rider. He could just have had a bad night. It happens.

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.
