The White Knight

:rofl:

Looks like he could be in for a very good Season for the 'Aces'. Let's hope so. :approve:

No my friend I didn't. I have always been very well treated at Newcastle even though I am a Mackem. I thoroughly enjoyed my times at both Newcastle and Redcar. I made many friends at both Tracks. I would still have loved a Team at Sunderland though......................................................

I sincerely hope that the School Holidays works for them - in the end - that can only benefit Speedway.

Yes - excellent stuff gustix.

They must be having a 'Giraff'. :rofl: :rofl:

I am sad to hear of Joonas's retirement. I loved watching him on the Television. I thought that he was an extremely talented and exciting Rider to watch. I wish him well for his retirement.

Aye - those were the days. We were often 'upstairs' at the Stadium having a drink, a laugh and a chat with sometimes all seven Team Members. A great time was had by all. Nowadays it end of Heat 15 usually - then off home. Such a shame - but - such is progress.

I did the Review for Newcastle a few years ago.

Sadly no-one will listen. The Second Half System brought us loads of British Speedway 'Stars' back in the Seventies. We, Great Britain, won everything in sight. They changed the System - and look where we are now. :sad:

Are you a Representative of the North East Tourist Board OVF? Great Post. B)

I hope that you two have a great time on your travels ProperSport and HT. Hope the Weather is kind to you too. ENJOY!!!!

A good positive idea woodenspoon. :approve:

I like the Racejacket on your Avatar WG1884. That was always my favourite. Before the Advertisers got their grubby hands on the front of said Racejackets. :nono:

You could be right. I, for one though, sincerely hope that you are wrong.

The Council will probably believe whatever makes them benefit more financially. Or - am I a cynic........

It looks incredibly sad for 'Bees' Supporters and the Club itself.

By golly - Donald Trump is starting his wall a long way from Mexico. :unsure:

Gauranteed a 'Like' is the mention of Anderson's Pies. They are great. I am going to a Meeting at Redcar in a few weeks time to see a Sunderland Team racing. Rather knocks your argument on the head - doesn't it?

I agree to a point - but - FOUR HOURS is ridiculous. Allowing for the 'extras' at a Testimonial Meeting - I reckon two and a half to three hours with three hours being the absolute limit. You are right when you say that you have to consider the Rider whose Testimonial is being celebrated - but surely you should consider the paying public too. Without them - it wouldn't be much of a Testimonial.

Yes. Fair comment Paulco. I take your point.

AAhh right. Thanks very much Paulco. A ridiculous time for a Meeting that. :nono: I reckon, if it was cold, I would have left before the end.

Where was this SCB?

Make me No. 6 - I didn't know either. Thanks r&r - I will have to pay more attention. The trouble is my memory isn't very good. If I get up to go to the loo - I've forgotten by the time I get back. No hope for me I'm afraid. I'm not ill or anything - just a very bad memory.

But this is Football - everyone knows that they have the money to splash. Amazing what can be done, arranged, bought, fiddled if you have money. Not to mention Plain Brown Envelopes.
