The White Knight

Jim Airey - That brings back happy memories of the still much missed Sunderland 'Saints'. My favourite Rider at the time. I was new to it all then. Happy days.

Who's this TWN Dave? :rofl:

How do you know it wouldn't? Are you prepared to take that chance with the future, or lack of future for your Club? It could well be argued that the Season is a waste of time - it is only a qualifying system for the 'Play Offs' which are the only Meetings that really seem to matter. Doesn't matter if you win the League - you still have to go out and win it again. But that is another argument.

And if it costs you your Club in the long term..........................?

So I read in to that that Newcastle will not be looking for Promotion next year. Quite right too. Promotion/Relegation in Speedway is a daft idea to me.

Hear, hear - well said. On both points.

I can certainly see that happening. Serious question. Would anyone want Newcastle to be Promoted? Personally I would prefer them to stay in the Championship rather than taking a chance on Promotion and everything going belly up. Only my opinion.

Great bit of History there for me. I remember Dave Collins from his days at Sunderland. Thanks for that gustix.

Well it is certainly more honest. No complaints from me. 'ELITE' :rofl: :rofl:

Well, I hope that the full unexpurgated story will be told when the future of Belle Vue is secured. People who care for the Club have a right to know the truth - after all - this experience could have cost them their Club.

True - but he probably has the biggest input and influence.

I'm sure that George will come up with something good. He usually does.

We shall have to wait and see on that one.

Obviously you are right. But if I had bought a Brick (I nearly did) at that Price I would expect to have it in place at the Speedway Stadium for years. Not at a Rugby, Netball or even a Football Pitch. If the OP was only joking - I did not see any smilies to suggest that.

................ because it cost him Fifty Quid. If tha Stadium was not to be used for Speedway, then he paid his £50 under false pretenses and should get his money back.

Now that's an interesting question. :D

Why not?

Very good. :rofl:

Damn - you beat me to it. :rofl:

"Oh yes it does". Must be that time of year. "It's behind you". :rofl:

Phillipe??

Sad News. R.I.P. + Arthur.

No - but I am not calling anyone names.

Fair point Philip.

He would certainly be worth a punt on a Two average. He should, with this years experience be able to manage that - if not better.
