The White Knight

Hopefully Garcia will do well. He knows the STMP anyway. Fingers crossed for him.

I thought you were just supposed to hop on it and go.

Too late for me I'm afraid. :sad:

Dan Bewley has impressed me so far following reading his scores.

Wey hey ls. We agree on something anyway. :party:

Yes - I did go actually. Since 1964. But having put up with the fiddles of the Tac Ride and the Tac Sub for so bloody long.. I have seen the light so as to speak. It really is that simple. If the Sport is upsetting and angering you - don't go. I ask you again - why should I pay good money in order to get upset and angry - seems daft to me. I promise you that is the sole reason I no longer attend - I know you don't agree with me and that is fine. I know why I don't go, and I have tried to explain it on this Forum a number of times. I am aware too that some don't believe me. That is their right. I can only Post in good faith my reasons for none attendance. What people choose to believe is up to them.

Most on here will be pleased about that RD. :rofl:

You'll do for me my friend. :rofl: :approve:

:rofl: Trust you to come up with that one RD. 1960s/70s wasn't pre-war. Speedway was far better in those days. That is, of course, only my opinion. You never know though- there may be others out there that feel the same as me.

In all honesty Star Lady it is. I promise you that if the Double Points Rule was dropped tomorrow, I would be at Newcastle on Sunday. I still follow the Updates when Belle Vue, Newcastle or Redcar are riding when I can. I know that you and others will think I am daft, but I don't like getting upset and Double Points upsets and angers me very much. I don't care which side gets the Double Points ride - whether it is the Team I support or the opposition - I believe that it is wrong. That is the standpoint that I am coming from. There one or two folk on this Forum who know how angry I get - they have witnessed it - honestly - it just isn't worth it.

Yes - I did. I didn't like that either. Points should be earned on the Track to create a Result - NOT to contrive a Result. I have answered all of these questions by various people many times before.

I had to laugh............................................... :rofl: :rofl: Still am in fact.

OK then. Just on those five: Simmo, Louis, Wilson, Boocock, Ashby. To be honest - I think that the first three pick themselves.

Good bit of research there iris123.

:)

NO!!! I am not - do away with Double Points and I will be back like a shot. Leave it as it is and I won't be. Answer me this Trees - why should I pay good money to get angry and upset every time the B/W Helmet comes out.? I won't do it any more - at least I can say that I have stuck by my principles - I think, as I suspect you already know, that I believe contriving, conniving, fiddling, cheating is very wrong and I will continue to make my stand against it. So - YES!! - I am sad that I can't bring myself to go - but at least I am trying to do something, and I won't be the only one. I hope this answers your question once and for all. I am aware that most Posters on here don't agree with me, that is their right but I also think some of them respect my views. I have my right to go by what I believe in too, that is my right.

I do now bbH. Thanks to - anonymous. :)

I must admit - I don't know about that. Perhaps someone can help on this? It would be interesting to know the answers to those questions that you pose.

Very true!!!!. :sad:

That should be a good thing. If Stocks and Dogs can run successfully - so could Speedway, surely?

Spot on gustix. :approve: I look forward to reading more interesting stuff about the 'Dons' in days gone by. As Sid says - "keep it going".

Definitely NOT a waste of time gustix - just too many Wimbledon Threads covering the same thing. All of them are interesting - but they could probably all have been covered by one Thread. I have enjoyed reading them though.

I think that would be a good idea. There could be problems though. Who would administer the Fund, who would decide how the money was spent in ten years time, where would the incoming money (if any) be invested over the next ten years? As you say - probably not a goer - but a good idea nonetheless,

Whatever has happened to Peter Collins, Nigel Boocock, Les Collins, Dave Jessup, Michael Lee - I would argue that most of them were better than those you mention apart from Simmo.

As Belle Vue found out - but they managed it. While there is life, there is hope - fingers crossed for Swindon.
