There wasn't a joke to miss. It was resident troll "Gustix" being an idiot. When everyone pointed out he was being his usual trolling self he deleted his posts (as he normally does), leaving the thread looking rather odd apart from the fact that he can't delete what others had already quoted.

But before the BSPA can organise to meet with the National Supporters Group, surely the fans have got to tell them who is in the group? Clearly Teaboy279 has been nominated by the Kent fans to represent them. I remember reading that the Belle Vue supporters club had nominated a representative (though I don't know a name), and I'm sure there was one other supporters club where I read they had put forward a representative. But that's about all. I'd have thought every supporters club in the country would be chomping at the bit to elect someone into the national group, but it seems very few have done it. Teaboy279 said there was a meeting planned, and he booked time off work to attend, but it had to be cancelled as the supporters at most clubs hadn't even bothered to nominate a representative Perhaps we can compile a list on here of the clubs and the name of their elected spokesperson?

Maybe it has already demonstrated what the promoters expected it to demonstrate? That the fans are worse at organising a booze-up in a brewery than the promoters ever could be?

Are you related to Starman or KKS?

We've got to accept that half the crowd are loose? Does this come with an English translation?

What is there to be offended about? If you want to help your club, you can. If you don't want to help, you don't have to. If you've got some time to spare, you might be able to help. If you haven't got spare time, no one is forcing you, or penalising you for not helping. Lots of clubs, societies, sports teams, theatres, churches, schools, scouts etc etc rely on volunteer help. Whether its helping paint the changing rooms of your local football team or speedway team, helping out at the kids' school sports day, donating costumes to the local theatre amateur dramatic society, making chutney for the church jamboree, or organising the Rotary Club annual dance, the world might be a better place if more people gave up a few hours of their time to get out and help an organisation close to their heart rather than sitting at home behind a keyboard moaning and being unnecessarily offended by everything.

His typical behaviour. He posts something incredibly stupid in an attempt at trolling. Then when the trolling attempt fails massively, he makes up some other nonsense and edits a post pretending he had made a mistake. He usually does it on threads he started, so that once he's made a fool of himself he can delete the thread. But he didn't start this one, so all he can do is pretend his trolling was an error Very sad.

I don't understand the joke. Why is "Supporter" lying to "Enthusiast" about where teams race? Why is he sending him to Birmingham to watch IOW instead of telling him where the IOW track is?

You'd need a Delorean with a flux capacitor to fit into the 2018 King's Lynn team now Josh, but nice of you to reopen this King's Lynn 2018 thread to offer your services on a Sunday night in February 2019.

So apart from this chap who won the world championship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Björn_Knutsson , there isn't another different rider with a similar name which differs by just one letter as we are looking for on this thread?

There's always been spelling mistakes in programmes, but this thread is about finding any 2 riders who had similar names which differed only by one letter.

Was there ever a rider called Bjorn Knutson? I'm not aware of one. Obviously Bjorn Knutsson was the world champion.

It isn't. It's very much a last resort. If you're declared bankrupt your bank accouts are frozen, you can't get credit or take out loans. You can't act as a director of a company and you can't even manage a company without telling everyone you deal with about your banruptcy. A bankrupt is usually released after a year, but it still stays on records for 6 years, so even after a year, a bankrupt will still have problems getting a bank account, getting loans, credit, even taking out insurance.

erm...isn't that 7 letters difference? If we're allowing 7 letters difference you could put Paul Fry or Ben Howe with absolutely anyone!

I've got a good one Dave Baugh (Bradford early 70s) and Dave Bargh.

A Youngster who did a dozen or more meetings for Newcastle in 1979/80, Paul Brown is just one letter and a slight rearrangement away from Paul Bowen.

Steve Bass of Long Eaton (1970-73) and Steve Bast the less successful of a couple of 70s American brothers

Bit of an easy one, but didn't Jon Cook have a short unspectacular career at Eastbourne? One letter away from the rather more successful John Cook

Wally Hill rode for Mildenhall throughout 1984 http://speedwayresearcher.org.uk/mildenhall1984.pdf One letter away from Wally Hull of 1940s Belle Vue

One letter different after rearranging the letters slightly..... Jens Rasmussen and Rasmus Jensen.

As well as the more well known Mike Spink of the late 70s and 80s, there was also Mike Spinks who rode for Boston, Crayford and Peterborough

Probably an interest he should take much further. p.s. Finding 2 riders with names with just one letter difference is proving much harder than finding riders with the same name.

What's flat-track? Is it like Stock cars but not as good?

Richard Greer and Richard Green

Where do we start? Have you ever heard of Speedway racing?
