The White Knight

So NP was good for something then......................... Very true - it is. At the moment unfortunately - it is extremely difficult to take the Sport seriously. It is also compared to 'It's a Knockout' with the iniquitous 'Joker' and 'Double Points'.

I don't think I should have started this joke in my Post. :nono: :rofl:

Cheers Sid - I'll get me coat. :rofl:

Can you let me have a 'Street Guide' please Sid? :P

Adam Roynon. Great Rider who could have gone so much further without so many injuries.

Hoow would the Swindon Fans feel about that though?

Yes - just when something goes belly up (Belle Vue ) they manage to improve on the cock up. :(

Was that the John Jackson of Crewe 'Kings' fame Sid? Great Rider if so - along with Phil Crump, Dai Evans Gary Flood et al.

Thank you very much Gemini. I hope your Dogs are well. Remember steve - this is Speedway. :sad: Situation normal. :sad:

To answer directly the question posed in the Thread Title. Yes - I remember the 70s. I am still living in them. :party:

So still no further forward? :sad:

Briggo, PC, C. Morton, P. Crump (sen), M. Simmons, R. Moore, T. Woffinden, C. Lofqvist, R. Wilson, M. Ashby. ............. and for something different - my top three 'entertainers' from the old Second Division: Jack 'Crazy Jack' Millen. Tony Childs. Robin Adlington.

I liked Smolinski.

I find people in Sport in general have long memories. I've never liked Coventry or Jimmy Hiil since they contrived a late (about 15 minutes) start in a relegation battle in which Sunderland were involved (as usual) Sunderland's game finished at the proper time and Coventry, needing only a point played pass ball for the last 15 minutes or so in order that they got the point they needed. Bastards!!!

Sky coverage of the Premier League up until now has been very good. The problem, to me, is they don't share the Meetings around as well as they might. Just my opinion.

As I said in my earlier Post - I had never met Dennis but had corresponded with him. Thank you Steve for Posting this - it is nice to put a face to the name. Again - many thanks. Ian.

Cheers Tony. I will take that as gospel.

It is a huge difference in Price. I think I would be a bit suspicious too.

Very, very sad to hear this. I never met 'Merlin' as I knew him. We corresponded a few times on this Forum. His replies to my messages were always kind and friendly and we never had a cross word. It is a while ago now since we were last in contact. Rest in Peace. + Dennis - you were what Speedway Supporting was all about.

Do you mean those with Diarrhea? Honestly - the lengths people will go to to slip a naughty word in .............. I don't know. :rofl:

That seems a bit odd Dave.

Thank you for Posting this britmet. A very worthwhile and interesting read. A fitting tribute to a great Rider. :approve:

Surely if that were true - there would be no disputes about money. We know there are disputes from time to time.

A great Rider back in the day. I've always understood it was Yan-carts. I stand to be corrected though.

That is mostly what is getting to me too arnieg.
