The White Knight

What a sad end to such an iconic Stadium and an historic Speedway Team. :sad:

I hope not. :unsure: :unsure:

The first Rider I can remember being killed in a Track accident was Peter Craven in 1963. That was before I had even been to Speedway. My first Meeting being in 1964.

That doesn't really answer the question.

To all those Woffinden detractors out there, and there are a few, would you say that Tai has been well treated by British Speedway or badly treated?

I'll keep my eye out for him hyderd. Great that he's at Belle Vue. :approve:

I would be interested in a literal translation of what I assume to be Saxon norbold. I wish I knew how to do that with my keyboard. Most impressive.

Perhaps nobody knows.

It certainly would. Did they give any reason why Greyhound Racing should be banned?

Sadly - with the amount of time that has elapsed - you may well be right MattK. Obviously I very much hope that you are wrong.

I too started reading the Weekly Speedway Star and Monthly Speedway Post in 1964. I agree with you 100% about the standards of the English Language falling. The Writers you mention were, all of them, top Journalists in their field. Sadly these days it seems that anyone can pen an Article. The Speedway Star is not alone in this either. The daily newspapers are very poor in this regard too. The BBC use of standard English seems to have gone out of the window too. .............................. and they call this - progress.

Very interesting Tsunami. I had no idea about any of that. :approve: Cheers for the info.

Very sad and disappointing. Could someone not speak to the Council regarding a Plaque for the Speedway too. City of Culture and all that. Just an idea....

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! :mad: :rofl:

Me. :D

Now you come to mention it......................................... so do I. Never thought of that. I preferred the Cowboy Films myself though. Great days.

There is that World War One airman's helmet again.

R.I.P. Kevin I remember watching Kevin race when he raced for West Ham.

I used to like Speedway Mail and Speedway Star on the weekly front. As for the Monthlies - Speedway Post and Speedway Express were my favourites. These days Classic Speedway and Backtrack are my favourites - I have all of them to date and I have all of the Vintage Speedway Magazines too.

Agreed - had it not been for Badge - I would not have known about the other Thread.

Yes - that puzzled me too.

I used to like Davey Watt. Was a very good Rider in his day.

Not unlike the headgear worn by some World War One RFC aircrew (Observers). See here: https://www.google.com/search?q=rfc+pilot/observer+headgear&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwinif6P88LTAhWiF8AKHcy2COcQ7AkINg&biw=1440&bih=767#imgrc=VoO-jqEN0WWZZM:

Thank you for that Badge - I will do that. I don't visit that Section but I will now.

Very good word that, where Tactical Substitutes or Tactical Rides are concerned. Tacky!! I wish I had thought of that Paulco. :approve:
