Somerset And The Confederate Flag
Robbie B replied to drvortexz's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I personally know what its like on the victims side, as I had a family member murdered 10 years ago. What I'm trying to point out is no matter what flag the killer may have flown in the day of this tragedy. The person that murdered these people is totally and wholly to blame for his actions. Even a gun won't kill someone if no-one pulls the trigger. In the USA more people per week get killed because of gun crime (mainly gang members) then in a year during the UK. Until any gun law is enforced in the US nothing will ever change. But the NRA are way to powerful for this to happen though, so regrettably this won't be the last case of these kind of things happening. The media always like to find a reason for things, so that they can then hype-it-up hence and the fore-roar over the Confederate flag is just one case in point. The flag maybe a calling card to some certain types of people, but these people would always I feel do something evil and wrong, as its something in their nature. -

Somerset And The Confederate Flag
Robbie B replied to drvortexz's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Instead of moaning about whatever the flag has come to be associated with. I think that a far more valid point is that in the USA ordinary members of the public are allowed to buy and own automatic weapons. If they weapons weren't available to the general public in the beginning then I doubt that this tragedy, or any other in the future would happen. But guns will never be outlawed in the USA because of the NRA no-matter how many people died on this day, or in the future they are just too powerful an organisation. A flag maybe a rallying point for certain types people, but it people with guns that kill, and not any kind of flag, so I can see no reason why any sports team should remove the Confederate flag from their designs. I have also noticed that eBay UK has stopped the sale of images of the Confederate flag on it's website. The US website I think are just removing the Confederate flag image, so that they cannot be sued in the future, as we all know about the USA litigious society. -
You were spot on eith the White City riders Oldlace. I just checked my DVD against a team picture of 1976 White City team from the 1977 speedway yearbook. The rider with the 'S' on his leathers is Trevor Geer and the other is Paul Gachet.

Just watch episode 7 'May' of series 3 of The Sweeney TV series. Can anyone remember who the two speedway riders were that were racing on the White City track. I think one was Richard Greer, but no certain. Thanks in advance for any help. Many thanks for the help. I did mean Trevor Geer and not Richard Greer in my earlier post. I always used to get them mixed-up. But if my little grey cells are correct. I do remember Dennis Waterman (Sgt George Carter from The Sweeney) attending the opening meeting at White City, and also the Superama at Hackney, in '76.

As there's no live SWC on Quest or Eurosport I will be watching the delayed coverage on British Eurosport HD. I will update the final league table after I have finished watching the event. I will be avoiding the score beforehand. All teams must be listed by 1pm UK today, or they won't be accepted. Best of luck everyone, and thanks for playing. -
