Yes. Sadly you are probably right.

In answer to your question - on that issue - yes.

Thanks for this Rob B. Very interesting reading. My sympathies are, and always have been, with David Gordon an Chris Morton. I wonder if we will ever find out the real truth as to what happened and more importantly, who was ultimately responsible?

To Pieman72 I would say I wish you every success. I've said it before and I will say it again - the Rules of Speedway need looking at. Get rid of 'Double Points' for a start and the laughable 'Joker' in the Speedway World Cup too. No Tactical Substitute to replace 'Double Points' either. Speedway tries to present itself as a serious Sport and ends up looking more like 'It's a Knockout'. As I said - laughable.

Graham Coombes rode for Sunderland 'Saints' back in 1964. http://www.sunderlandspeedway.co.uk/stats/1964/1964_Season.html Scroll down for picture of the man himself.

Fair enough.

You are 'on the ball' as ever Dean - thank you.

Information is everything. Sadly Speedway does not seem to recognize that. It's called keeping your Supporters interested.

That was my fear.

We don't want to lose any more Tracks for Pete's sake. :nono:

I always like Leigh Adams - a superb Rider to watch - he made Speedway look so easy. Sad he never made World Champion - still up there with the best in my opinion. Has anyone heard how he is progressing these days?

I find this Thread very sad and depressing. Is the old Abbey Stadium still to be used for Speedway next Season?

Cheers for that waytogo28. We were just having a bit of fun with the letters MF.

Are they doing a 'BOGOF'? :unsure: Perhaps the BSPA have done a deal for new Tractors for all Tracks.................. :D

You see this is where Speedway lets itself down. It was exactly the same with the National Speedway Stadium. They announce that they will be building a new Stadium in a blaze of publicity. then, for whatever reason, there is a big delay. This is usually followed by no, or very little, information. People get totally fed up with the lack of consideration for those who come along and pay their money. Perhaps they think those folk are simply not worth considering? Perhaps the money is the only thing that matters to them. I hope and pray that a new Stadium will come about, and that the legendary Swindon 'Robins' do get their new Stadiium.

Yes!!!

It would make interesting reading if Speedway Star did do an Investigation along these lines. Now there is a challenge for you Philip (Rising) - would something like this be possible?

Trust you Tsunami. :rofl:

HaHa - I can't remember that. Sounds great fun. :D

Aahh yes steve - those were the days. :approve:

Yes - I think that is what I was thinking about steve. Thanks.

For how long?

Ooops - you are right. Sorry. I was thinking about other things whilst typing - never a good idea. I will amend my original Post. Thanks for letting me know.

Super Post Sid. I don't think I could argue with your choice at all. Flak? Not from me mate. :approve:

:rofl: Nice one Mike. :rofl:
