Perhaps we could sign Chris Holder when his average gets low enough. :D

Very loosely. :sad:

I can only hope and pray that he can make a full recovery from these very serious injuries.

What HT - better than Belle Vue? :shock: Contrived by Double Points no doubt.

Sunderland is now a City, it became one in 1992. We have no Cathedral but we do have a Minster.

You have to ask yourself - would you in his position? Your "next to nowt" comment says it all really.

Have you ever considered orion - that Tai could indeed do a better job than some of those running the show at the moment. Please note - I said some - not all. Personally - I think that there is a fair chance that he could. I know you did like PC gustix - I was well aware of whom I was addressing with my Reply.

I doubt Peter Craven would like you very much either. :rolleyes:

Why are there TWO Threads running on this subject? Could I suggest that the Threads be merged by the Mods please?

Probably because Poole don't look like winning the League at the moment. I am sure the Gates will improve when you have a winning Team to support. Holder at reserve would be good. Some of us would just like a Team to support - never mind a winning one as I know from my time at Sunderland in the Sixties and Seventies.

Very well said Martin - particularly about William Wilberforce. Surely that deserves to be celebrated and not shoved in a corner as if it never happened. It's a bit like us here in Sunderland bidding to be City of Culture in 2021. They (the Council) have just closed some more of our Public Libraries down and moved our main Library in to a couple of rooms in the Sunderland Museum (Foundation Stone laid by U.S. President/General Ulysses S. Grant). Libraries are not just Cultural - they are Educational too. Sunderland - City of Culture - my a*se. :sad: :sad:

I always admired Edward Jancarz. Of all of the Polish Riders who came over to this Country from Poland - the first name I think of is Eddie Jancarz. A great Rider. It really is sad that his life ended the way that it did. I am sure he could have had a great influence on Polish Speedway.

I think you underestimate some of us SCB.

Or perhaps he genuinely believes that he can help British Riders. I certainly believe he can. Typical of Great Britain this - we moan like hell about not having any decent British Riders. We get one and he is treated like a pariah. Honestly - it beggars belief.

Nowt really. But Hull - like Sunderland live in hope.

Doesn't really matter what anyone thinks - the incontravertible FACT is that he is British whether he rides in or for Great Britain or not.

Mine too - I miss his input.

I can think of two possibilities. Tax reasons as has been mentioned before. or PR reasons - who is going to come out on a cold night to support a Sport that can only attract a few hundred people and a dog. Far better to leave folk in their ignorance and hope that they come along anyway. I am sure that if you published very low numbers - it would probably put people off.

I think that is rubbish. Tai could pass on a lot of experience and information.

Boarded up. :shock: Not going back to 'Board Track Racing' again are we? :unsure:

Not likely to happen though.

Thank you for that Doctor.

Anyone confirm?
