  1. There is only one rule , the Mafia are always right and god help any one that thwarts them . When decisions go against them they ignore the decision for the good of Speedway.
  2. Carl Johnson told Panthers fans not to Panic on 28th January. Even he would surely allow us a panic or two now!!!
  3. Speedway was shown I believe in the TV adaptation of The Avenue Story in the seventies .
  4. Have sky Q for TV and BT Broadband I pay extra to BT for Sport. Initially BT Sport was free for Bt Broadband customers but no more. Sky Q only requires one viewing card although I have two boxes yet BT charge extra even though they have to actually have to do something to prevent me getting sport on both boxes. They initially give you a special deal but through stealth increases this is soon eroded. In fact since my so called deal only a few months back my bill has risen by 50% They threaten dire penalties if I cancel before May 2019.
  5. My experience has been that BT are worse money grabbing shysters than Sky
  6. I certainly do not see Scott as the panacea to Panthers team problems
  7. Whilst there has been anecdotal reports of the 6 point rule being overturned to my knowledge this has not been confirmed officially. The Mafia have of course adopted a ploy to fail to report or make public any decision which has gone against them, indeed in one instance they opted to pre judge a situation which could cause embarrassment .One could be forgiven for wondering if this is all part of the Mafia's determination to get their pound of flesh regardless.
  8. I would thought that the majority of this film is set prior to World War 2.
  9. The official site continues to be bang up to date , packed with every bit of the very latest news.
  10. Thank, she always claimed that he played the part of a Speedway Rider in the film. I knew he was in The Blue Lamp a film from which Dixon of Dock Green emanated
  11. My late mother" God Rest Her Soul" used to talk about a film about Speedway starring Jimmy Handley . I have never tracked it down, any ideas?
  12. In the far off days when Speedway could boast a multitude of stars Ian Williams the brother of Fred and Eric who did not reach the same heights, broke the Wembley track record during a second half event.
  13. Possibly after recent events those organisations further up the chain of command may be wondering if BSPA are fit for purpose!!!
  14. Never have so few got it so wrong so often to the detriment of so many
  15. Never have so few got it so wrong so often to the detriment of so many
  16. BT sport coverage is very good , but in my opinion as a company they are a bunch of shysters.
  17. Nobody has ever claimed that what you refer to as a hand out was vital just to keep things going. As it happens it was not that long ago that Ged himself claimed that there was no reason why Panthers should not return to the top flight at some point . Perhaps the tone has changed a bit now that the mafia are on his case. I also am convinced that majority of the remaining fan base prefer Premier league for some reason. Financially I also believe Ged when he says that Panthers have never owed money to anyone whilst he has been in charge.
  18. Unfortunately there seems little ambition from the Promoters or the majority of remaining fans to return to the so called top flight
  19. We are urged not to panic but that seems the only option at the moment
  20. That may well be the case but undeniably RF ran a successful business whereas those in charge of Speedway have overseen a steady decline in a sport that stumbles from crisis to crisis.
  21. Been away for a day or two and may have missed something but it all seem a right ruddy hames to me , As Rick Frost once said to me those running Speedway would struggle to even to run a Burger Van with any success
  22. Thanks that was what I was trying to say. As it happens I have had a DVD of "Once Jolly Swagman " for some time.
