The problem is that they seem to spend a lot of time and effort not pleasing - anyone.....................
They don't seem too bothered that they, in some ways, are driving folk away from the Sport - not attracting them as they ought to be.
My first Meeting was in 1964 - Sunderland 'Saints' v. Newcastle 'Diamonds'.
I remember a defeat for the 'Saints' (32-44) - it didn't put me off though.
I talked to Tony Mole regarding the return of Speedway to Sunderland. It did not happen - but that was not Tony Mole's fault. I found him always very courteous to talk to and very knowledgable about Speedway and business too. I admire him very much and wish him a very happy retirement.
Speedway will miss him very much.
Just a thought - people talk about an Independent overall head of Speedway in this Country - would Tony not be a very good candidate for this Post?
Just thinking...........
The only thing that you can be certain of is that they will change the Rules - - - AGAIN!!!
On the other hand - they might do something sensible and get rid of Double P{oints. :approve:
This will be a remarkable and impressive Resource.
A real labour of love.
I sincerely hope that you get all the information that you require Dave.
I'm only sorry I can't help.
I totally concur with all of the comments regarding the Updates. As many will know - I no longer attend Speedway Meetings, however, I am still interested and the Updates are invaluable to me.
I would like to thank every single Updater, Texter and particularly Sue for maintaining a service that is second to none.
Many, many thanks.
Thank you for Posting this FH. British Speedway will miss PK, and so will I.
Very best wishes to Peter in whatever he decides to do in the future - he deserves it.
My late Wife's favourite Rider.
Peter is a wonderful example to all aspiring Speedway Riders - I loved watching him. As people have already said a true Gentleman in the truest sense of the word.
I would like to congratulate wolfhound on an excellent first Post on the Thread. It says everything there is to say about PK. I concur with every word.
