The White Knight

Very true Little Thumper - very true.

Maybe you are right iris123. But crucially it doesn't help Speedway's credibility does it?

I'm afraid I haven't been to a Speedway Meeting for over two years now. I will not go on principle. I will not attend as long as 'Double Points' is in operation. I do not agree with it and will NOT pay to watch it. It gets me upset and angry and I can do that on my own without paying for it. That said - I hope both Redcar and Newcastle have very successful Seasons in 2017. Good luck to both of them.

Speedway seems to be going to pot if this is right?

Very sad to hear. I remember Russ at Sunderland. Condolences to his Family and friends. R.I.P. +

I find most people on here fair and balanced in their Postings. There are a few, (they know who they are), who are just bullies who seem to like making people's lives a misery for no apparent reason other than their own personal pleasure. However you can still have a decent discussion and even disagreement on here with most folks. I enjoy discussing things with most people.

They were the best around the outside that I saw.

I think I would be prepared to pay big money to watch that Meeting Steve. You have got the real Royalty of Speedway there. It is a hell of a field of Riders. Ken Le Breton for Reserve - in case someone never turned up.

Looking back through my 'Vintage Speedway' and 'Classic Speedway' Magazines it occurs to me that sadly I missed Speedway's truly great years, due to being too young. Not often you can say that about anything.

Great Thread - good luck with it SCB. :approve:

......................... anyway - whatever happened to Tom Farndon? :unsure:

Then you were indeed privileged. I admire both Fundin and Craven but sadly I never saw them race. I truly wish I had.

WSF = World Speedway Federation?

I think I know what you are getting at. :nono:

Already a Thread going on this.

I must admit - The sadly departed Speedway Mail was my preference too. :sad:

I have a certain sympathy with that viewpoint. If Clubs are in such dire straights - why are they employing Riders that they simply cannot afford? Total madness.

It could be a typo of course. I do them sometimes and I am sure you do too.

Don't be silly - this is Speedway we are talking about.

I think Redcar have put together a very good Team this year. I wish them luck.

It was a superb Magazine in those days full of useful and interest fact and figures. On occasions it could be pretty hard hitting too. Not these days though........................

'Sudden' Sam. :o Not really. :shock:

They do - or did - when I went to Newcastle.

One of my biggest regrets, when I kick off this mortal coil, is the number of Books I would love to have read but couldn't because of lack of time.

I have said that for years and is another reason it is not value for money. Thank you for that reply Philip. I can actually see where you are coming from there but I still feel the Magazine is overpriced at the moment.
