Maybe not Lupine one - a few old "I-Have-More-Year-Plates-On-My-Club-Badge-Than-You" guys are prone to a bit of defending riders against criticism to look important/connected/ethically superior.

"XXXX I luv U - yur wicked - C U on Tuesday" Have to agree with that. I can't stand text speak and never use it myself, even when texting. I actually don't mind the Poole fans, it's another camp that annoy me. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but is it just me, or does text-speak take longer to type on mobiles than normal words, due to predictive text? I actually use my mobile, to shock, horror, ring people, rather than text them in some strange sub-language, play games or send rude photos (the internet is much better for the latter ;D )

Returning to the original subject of the thread I came to the weird world at a time when I was totally disillusioned about most things speedway and especially "the other place". Most of the annoyances have been covered 1 Inconsistent modding (and why is one member allowed a massive photo of Richard Hall I have to ask ) 2 Poole and Coventry fans appearing to think they are superior to everyone else 3 Too many "kids" for want of a better word posting rubbish on threads about matches which gets worse in school hols. 4 Too much cliqueness 5 Rider name dropping 6 The "He who shall not be named" deletions just about put the tin hat on it. 7 A preoccupation with the weather days before a meeting. I think Sub has got this forum about right. I like the seperate club threads, I can find what I want quicky and not have to go thro EL then Peterboro to find a match report. This place is friendly, you can say what you think, clear the air if necessary and remain friends. I use both forums but tend to use this one for anything that needs a modicum of thought and "the other place" for throwaway remarks. I feel far more at home here tho. Here I'm allowed to say I'm bored with speedway at Lynn and don't have to put up with people trying to bully me (anyone that knows me would know that's not the way to do it ;D). Opinions on here are respected, even if folk don't agree with them. I've noticed that genghis for example, doesn't have to defend his club here either. On here I'll read it, on the other one I don't bother cos you know there will be a load of smart alec replies. I hope this forum remains a smaller more intimate affair, as IMHO much of "the other place's" problems have arisen because of it's sheer popularity, altho it is as others have said THE place to go to find information, except for disabled access where the members here have been totally fantastic as opposed to completely ignoring it elsewhere. I'll stop rambling now. Just wanted to say well done to everyone for making this place so good and long may it continue. Sub we are indebted to you.

Well - The other Place will always be of use but a forum is only as good as its posters.

I may or may not be a good poster (opinion varies on the subject) and I created this board to be a place to air my views and if anyone wanted to join in, the more the merrier. If this board has any merit, that merit comes from the people who post here, which obviously includes me.

Starlady, The weather in Oxford for Monday looks good. Woo, I'm Scottie's No. 1 fan. I know Lee Smethills, I bet you don't. [Bit here about Colin Horton deleted]. I'm going to get a giant photo of Steve Turner added to my BSF sig. I support Cov and they're way better than crappy King's Lynn. (Now I just need Schumi to delete you post and leave mine, to complete the full set)

I came here initially to see what Sub was saying about me and the other fascists! Unfortunately my evil plan somewhat failed as I found I actually liked it here and spent most nights in absolute hysterics at some of the posts.
One thing I do like is that with my assumed name, I can drop the nicey nicey image and post what I really feel and not be that non controversial one over on the other sites.

Until I started posting there wasn't a single thread in the Wolves section! But that's because Wolves are a dull club. Hell, even you struggle to think of worthwhile, interesting things to say about them. Time to face facts: CVS and Peter Adams, fine speedway administrators though they may be, just aren't interesting.
