I personally think, £16.00 admission, plus travelling, plus programme, plus refreshments, per person, is difficult for most people to afford, OAP or not. But then, the costs of speedway for the riders, promoters and fans has been fully discussed many times over on the forum and nothing changes.

Top marks TWK!......I think your post is the first I have seen 'liked' by Mr PR!

I think I saw those tyres on Fake Britain!

Isn't that a brand of clothing sold in Tesco's?

Could the Collins brothers still squeeze into their leathers?

I can't think of a successful speedway rider that has switched to road racing and been successful at that too, but perhaps there has been?

Tax avoidance is ok! Do you invest in an ISA or have a pension plan? If so, that is tax avoidance planning.

Maybe, but 44.7% of those that went to vote, said yes. And who is to say that those that didn't vote, if they had to, would have tipped the balance to a 'yes'. Whichever way you argue the figures, a lot of Scots wanted to and probably still do want to, break from the UK. And in my opinion, fair enough.

44.7% did! But Tai might not be saying he is British.......only his passport says he is British.

I think the general public is more nationalistic these days, especially with what is going on in the world. In my opinion, I think we should only have an England team. Only recently the Scots voted to break away. I think many feel we are/have losing/lost our national identity and perhaps Tai's lack of respect whilst the national anthem is playing is to some, another example of people not giving a damn about our country.

Which is a bit of a shame for Tai, if he would rather be classed as an Australian rider.

Could be I suppose....or his mum told him to?

IF Tai does feel he is more Australian than English/British, why is he riding as a British rider? What is in it for Tai?

Actually, I was just pulling your leg about your possible lottery win....I too hadn't noticed the Freudian slip! Us old timers! 'British League' does sound better though, IMHO.

Damn! And the British League was banking on your win TWK!

Seems fine to me. I take it there is no further news, as the site seems to be providing news which is a few weeks old.

I did press the translate button and did get English words, but still none the wiser really! I think, maybe, it is an engine which needs infrequent servicing, similar to the Gerhard....but might be making 2+2=5!

I agree with Stevehone and DutchGrasstrack's comments. Grasstrack is a 'grass roots' entry to speedway for many riders and grasstrack is suffering as it is. To have a star rider pull out at a whim, is poor show in my opinion.

I bet sand racing 'knocks out' chains and wheel bearings?

Best wishes with it all!

I recently read that the new Norton, is 2 valves per cylinder, which surprised me with a modern engine!

Perhaps you could offer your services and experience to the Isle of Wight, on a pro bono basis?

This is a club that is closed and is trying to return and I am sure they are not awash with cash. I would imagine they have already secured a lot of the potential sponsors, otherwise they wouldn't be moving forward with their attempt for a comeback. And don't tell me.....you are a marketing expert! Personally, I would say a great looking website will be the icing on the cake for IOW! As I recall, they need an airfence, hopefully that has been secured (no pun intended!).

True, but then a professional looking speedway website, does not mean there is a professionally run speedway team.

I already knew that SCB! Is there anything you are not an expert on?
