The weather in Tyneside must be bad at this time of the year.

So why did he bother to sign a contract to ride for Newcastle on Sundays? So he doesn't want to ride in the UK next season or not for Newcastle on Sundays? Give him a 12 month ban then so he can't do either. Ah no of course he can't get sanctioned he's one of Bustit's boys. Just wants to pick and choose his fixtures. But it's the Aussies that get the stick for doing this.

Mummy told him not to come.

Can't argue with that.

£10,000 is a helluva ambitious target. Be amazed if they get anywhere near it.

But Louis & co could have asked 5 officials and taken the most frequent answer as a rough guide on where to look for them!!

First I've heard of that one. All I've heard is at least 1 more year at Armadiddle.

Not sure Leicester are a good yardstick - they finished bottom. Ippo crowds are probably dependent on success not bottom of the league.

So maybe Louis should have got a fine too for the disrepute in trying to pull a flanker over averages when he wanted to dump Connor Mountain (and Sedgy)?

OUCH. http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.3222.2&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Briggo's in the country working on it.

No thanks from me too. Not that I have any say in the matter!

Blooming would. Could really set a trend. More forward thinking by the Weegies.

Young Holder back at number 1?

Wow sounds fantastic. I bet folks would pay a fortune to be there. I might even go if I lived more locally.

Strangely enough (?) you omitted to post the second part of that tweet ............. Belle Vue Speedway‏ @TheAces 3h3 hours agoMore 2/2... This fixture takes priority over Glasgow's home match as this meeting was scheduled and confirmed before that of the Tiger's

I wasn't at the meeting but there's no way Nicholls fenced Greaves.

Try checking Mitch's website and you'll see he had to have a late Saturday night trip to the hospital as a result of his crash against Kent that evening.

Don't think he was paying enough attention.

Hate to say this but I agree with virtually all these points even though they are from a weegie!! I especially agree about the lads from Oz. They have been great for the Scottish clubs over the years because they are willing to ride up there. Too many of the southerners won't make the trip. Need a bit more clarification on the double uppers though. A number of those are first committed to and are assets of team A who may then are signed by team B. Can't penalose team A for that so I assume you stop them doubling up if 2 in team A are already doubling up?

Sam Masters has ridden in Poland a fair amount this season. And Sweden/Denmark and nigh on everywhere else that does speedway. I think he was reckoning on over 140 meetings this season but for his injury. Don't think he missed any Monarchs meetings apart from injury. (Unless there were GP Qualifiers/World Cup meetings which I can't remember clashing with Monarchs fixtures but haven't checked.)

Lot of comments on the Sheffo twitter feed last night about the difficult track etc. What was it actually like?

You expecting a 50 point limit?

I've always felt that the tractor that parks alongside the back straight is in a very dangerous place. If a rider loses it coming out of turn 2 and heads towards the centre green it could have dire consequences. Having said that, unless they change the grading gear I assume the tractor couldn't be parked on the car track with the breakdown trucks.

Big congratulations to sheffo - well deserved after a great season. Hard luck ippo.
