The White Knight

The only reason I ask is that as far as I know he is still presenting for Look North. He was on yesterday.

Perhaps he will 'steam ride' a bit more this Season. I didn't know that Jeff had left Look North - when did that happen?

Coventry 'Bees', have always, as far as I know, been Coventry 'Bees'. I wouldn't be very happy with a change of name (nothing to do with me, of course) the the 'Bees' Logo is Coventry Speedway Team and traditionally always has been. As a traditionalist - I would hate to see the famous Coventry 'Bees' called anything else.

I have been a regular attendee at both Newcastle and Redcar in the recent past and have been made extremely welcome at both Tracks by most people. There is a great camaradie at both Newcastle and Redcar and I would have no hesitation, but for Double Points, returning to watch my Speedway at either. Plenty of witty banter and fun. Both great Tracks with great Supporters and lovely people.

I'm not that surprised - if it isn't a round thing kicked around by over paid prima donnas - they aren't interested.

:shock: I felt sure that you would be there both days Dandelion. :)

No not yet. I have been to both Hyde Road of blesséd memory and Kirkmanshulme Lane on a number of occasions. Belle Vue have been my Club from when I was a child. I am now nearly 72 and still support them and my local Teams too. My first Team though (apart from Sunderland obviously) was always Belle Vue. Sadly - I no longer have a Sunderland Team to support and haven't had since 1974.

Spot on.

Very good you two. :rofl: Note to self - book in for Spelling Lessons.

I wonder when all of this will end and we can get back to supporting the 'Aces' on the Track. I find all of this behind the scenes conjecture, because it can be no more than that, very upsetting and I am concerned for the long term future of my Club - Belle Vue.

I suppose that isn't beyond the bounds of possibility either.

The Speedway Star Website working fine for me. I use FireFix - I don't know if that makes a difference or not?

I sincerely hope you are right. Poland seem to be ruling the roost at the moment.

No - there is no problem with Housing in the near vicinity of the Boldon, Sunderland Greyhound Stadium. The nearest housing is a decent way off. I doubt very much if that would be a problem.

A useful tip that OFF. :approve:

Cheeky sod. :rofl:

TENA!!! :unsure:

Speedway could do with his help at the moment.

Sadly - you are probably right.

I was there a couple of yers ago and the skeleton of the Stand is still there if I remember correctly. Parts of the Track too.

What about Oil Firms - I remember in the good old days when it was the 'Gulf Oil British League'. There must be Motor Oil or Supply Firms out there.

That does beg the question - how can flaming Netball attract a very good Sponsor and Speedway can't? Who is responsible for attracting Speedway Sponsors and, perhaps more importantly, are they for for purpose?

Must be using the money they used to spend on the Speedway.

Thank you very much ff. Thanks for building my hopes up. :rolleyes: Perhaps you could tell me which is the nearest Track to Sunderland Richard?

I can't see any details of the Practice on the Official Website. So that is a good question.
