pugwash Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yes - the 'Royal 'Twins'. Bert Royal and Vic Faulkner. They were Twins apparently...................................... No they weren't. They were brothers. http://www.boltonrevisited.org.uk/p-vic-faulkner.html http://www.boltonrevisited.org.uk/p-vic-faulkner.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only work on continental electricity, but there's this Chinese kid down by Nelson Mandela House who's a whizz with electronics, and Terry the Tan can get him to convert it for £20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Wrestling is very much like speedway on sky tv in that results are predetermined before hand, all in the interests of whats best for business of course. You've been watching the WWE - haven't you? But - is Daniel Bryan 'Good for Business'? - I think not. I don't watch it - but my Son does for a laugh. Let's hope that Speedway never gets to the stage that folk watch it for a laugh - it is far more serious than that. Mind you - the way things are going..........................................................

flagrag Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's funny you should mention about 4K some test footage was produced last season at Birmingham just to trial how the cameras coped with high speed constant moving items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skthecat Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's funny you should mention about 4K some test footage was produced last season at Birmingham just to trial how the cameras coped with high speed constant moving items And? Did they cope or not? I need to know so I dont rush out to get one to see 2014s speedway on if they dont cope!!!! I Wish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Dickie Davies and Dave Lanning will be happy about 4K! They no longer have a 'best side' and it will show every imperfection!

oldtimer Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Speedway in 2014 will be broadcast by the Walt Disney Corporation as they already have one Mickey Mouse production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I appear to have started a whole new thread within a thread! On YouTube there is Bert Royal v Steve Logan in a singles match. Meanwhile - let's hope there is some announcement soon regarding live league speedway on a channel, be it Sky, BT, Eurosport etc. What about Kendo Nagasaki the masked mystery man from Japan with the red eyes.

Meanwhile - let's hope there is some announcement soon regarding live league speedway on a channel, be it Sky, BT, Eurosport etc. As told by Bolton Wrestler Billy Howes to my dad: Howes, Royal and Faulkner were being driven back to Bolton from a bout in Sheffield late at night when their car was flagged down by two rough ar$ed 'Teds'. "Give us a lift to manchester" said 'Ted' 1. "Sorry mate, car's full" says Billy. "that's ok, pal, we'll take the car, GET OUT!" says 'Ted' 2. "What happened next?" says my old fella. ....."We got out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshy1974 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Bit off topic but still Sky.. The speedway coverage may've not always be to everyone's satisfaction, but Sky've definitely got it right with there "Myspecialday" series which started today. Get a tissue ready (it's not porn) if you have a heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Just annonced in a Tweet Speedway Family @SpeedwayFamily 4m BREAKING - Sky Sports have agreed a 5 year broadcasting deal only with Elite League, leaving the league available to a new title sponsor!

"What happened next?" says my old fella. ....."We got out". haha, A similar occurence happened in the States where a car containing I think Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith (British Bulldog) and I believe Andre the Giant was being driven by a very small, thin manager. I can't remember the exact details of what led up to it but a similar thing happened. Andre in his youth would not be someone you would want to anger lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) So a 5-year TV-only deal with Sky again - and the chance to attract a new 'Main' sponsor for the League(s)!! That should at least assist clubs and riders in attracting their own corporate sponsors! Edited December 4, 2013 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayTShirts Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Who were the last firm / brand to put their name to speedway prior to Sky Sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshy1974 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Who were the last firm / brand to put their name to speedway prior to Sky Sports? Gawd knows, but the elite league could be onto a nice money spinner if they play this right. Advertising on a big scale to potentially millions.
