Talking about individuality, I don't suppose anybody on here now looks at the fork and bike covers. Try it. Couldn't keep away, could you. 'fork off',,,, ya being silly now, lol,,, if you can't tell a rider by his riding style,,, your not paying enough attention, or have'nt been going long enough :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including the Referee needs to know who the Goalkeeper is so he is dressed differently - for identification purposes. The fact that Speedway is a Team Sport does not mean that you don't need to identify individual Riders. Different Sports require different solutions. Speedway SHOULD have kept it's Racejackets AND it's TRADITIONS. It should also have sensible Rules/Regulations. If these new 'Suits' were so good, then why are lots more people not coming to see the spectacle. Lack of Individuality is ONE of the reasons, I suggest - they are all look the same. poppycock!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your bored with it,,, but it's habitual,,, it was good when there was a bit of fracar,,, it was much better without all the rules n regs, health n safety, it's all about being safe and PC and keeping the whingers happy,,, such is life nowadays :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored is probably the wrong word - disillusioned is how I feel - I can't speak for others. I do still attend each week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
