Close call.

That’s the case with a lot of riders nowadays,mediocre riders draining Clubs finances.That wont change anytime soon though.Clubs will just fold.

Judging by his quotes last season couldn’t make money,so he won’t come cheap.Certainly wouldn’t pay over the odds for him.

The heat leaders are over the hill .IMO They will do a job at home though,whether that’s good enough to win the League is doubtful.

Mainly cost I think, it was outsourced to aCompany last year.

Glasgow are not streaming this season.

Think this season will be a nightmare with R/R as riders riding several times a week and injuries will take there toll ( as usual)

If Jye can stay on the bike.Ashfield is a very fair track if Bandits gate it will be interesting.

They get at least 1 from each heat.

You should really check the circumstances as to why he was missing.

First little test for the Glalacticos,should sneak a win.That’s if all the Bandits get there in one piece.Etheridge withdrawn at Wolves last night and still have Birmingham on Wed.!!

It’s just a job to many , now riding 3or 4 times a week for a good wage.Steering clear of injury is their main priority.

Probably on a guarantee therefore not having to pay out on another riders points money.

All this discussion about the Leagues is mainly been brought up about because Newcastle made a mess of their Team building.We all know Speedway in UK is not in good shape ,but restructuring the League because Newcastle fans are not happy will never happen.

Trouble is that’s the Team that Granty thinks is OK.Nobody is criticising the effort the lads are putting in.BWD is never a No1. for starters.

Don’t think he listens to advice.

But that’s Newcastle’s Team building problem.Anybody who looked at Congreve and then looked at his New Zealand results and the standard of riders ,or seen him on Video would see that he was not Championship standard ,yet Granty bring him half way round the World.Granty has made some poor decisions regarding Team building,that’s the bottom line for me.

The race formula has been the same in the history of speedway. hardly to blame for a Poor Newcastle Team.

Probably on a Guarantee.

Lucky lad to avoid serious injury,bit of a kamakazi move considering how wide the track was riding at that stage.If your out that wide coming out 4th bend you have to come back in as the track does come in a little.There's been a few nasty similar crashes at that point.He stopped dead and at least got throw of the right side of the bike.

Good win for Bandits,spirited show from Monarchs with some good tussles.Pickering worth the Admission money.

Hope Rothery injuries are not too bad that was a nasty sudden stop he took coming out of the 4th bend.

Always decent racing at Ashfield nowadays.

You have got to remember the average age of the current supporters,they will have forgot the answers before they get to page 32.

Nice to see fitting tributes in national press.
