@jenga clearly still on here under a different guise 

As already mentioned THJ had a big fall out with speedway in the grant era at Newcastle,  was a good sponsor to speedway in all areas not just Newcastle and worky.  As for jenga not heard a peep for a while 

I wouldn't say he did. As senior reserve would have liked a bit more from him. Could gate well but then seemed to go back the way after the second bend.

I think the CL has a pretty good look about it next season, lots of new young faces which is always makes things interesting. Poole don't look all that (they'll probably make me eat my words) Redcar looking favourites for me. 

Shame they haven't used any former Kent riders as heat leaders and relatively local to make it a joint venture......think you might be alone on your views on the Eagles/Norris bit.

There was never a ban, riders were sometimes 'discouraged' but that is as far as it went. There would be a lot of gaps in Champ/NDL teams if you banned all of the following:  Scott Nicholls Joe Thompson William Cairns Alfie Bowtell Paul Starke Jacob Clouting Sonny Springer Dayle Wood Nathan Ablitt Jason Edwards Vinnie Foord Jason Garrad Tom Spencer Freddie Hodder Matt Marson Arran Butcher Jamie Etherington
