The White Knight

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:

Good call. I always thought that Wayne Briggs seemed to try too hard, as I remember. Was he trying to live up to the Legend that was his Brother 'Briggo' - I don't know. Definitely another very unlucky Rider.

I hope you are wrong on this OveFundinFan.

That's it Sid - he was very friendly with everyone after the Meeting. He didn't say much before a Meeting though. He always tried to Team Ride too - woe betide any Rider that tried to pass him when he was covering the Track. Could be a bit hard at times - but that was part of his charm.

Apparently Jack Millen required a Police escort out of the Stadium at Peterborough (I think). I can't remember his offence - but it definitely happened. I think it was something to do with kicking some lights following a dubious Refereeing decision, but I could be wrong about that.

There's got to be a Joke there somewhere - but I am damned if I can come up with one flower.

I had no idea it was that many. If you are right - it is a disgrace.

Thank you Steve.

Speedway could do with a lot more true 'characters' like this.

................ and what was that story please? :unsure:

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.
