He (I think) believes Season Tickets will sell when a team is announced. It doesn't always work like that, though, as many buy the season ticket anyway, no matter what the team and also even before a single rider is announced. But, of course, there will be those who wait to see a (near) full team announced before deciding whether a sesaon Ticket is worth it, or whether to pick and choose the meetings they are going to attend.

At Newcastle the local BBC usually turn up (either Jeff Brown or, as last season, Dawn Thewlis) and I think TyneTees also were there last season Unless a big local sports story breaks and that happens GRTMedia supply their, as usual, excellent footage. A few years back, Newcastle tried a 'donation only' type meeting (if I remember crrectly there was a minimum donation of a £1 or so, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), with wheelie competitions, races, gating etc., and, by all accounts, the place was packed. The following week, when full admission applied, the crowd was back to near normal.

I appear to have started a whole new thread within a thread! On YouTube there is Bert Royal v Steve Logan in a singles match. Meanwhile - let's hope there is some announcement soon regarding live league speedway on a channel, be it Sky, BT, Eurosport etc.

No they weren't. They were brothers. http://www.boltonrevisited.org.uk/p-vic-faulkner.html

Already got one thanks! Looking at the Forum between work to be done!

Claus Vissing may well like Byker but Newcastle's team is complete. Whether he also likes Shielfield could be more to the point

Followed by Mick McManus vs Jackie Pallo with commentary by Kent Walton???

Go on... tell us.... we won't say anything..... Honest.....

That was the season just gone. Suggest you click the link provided by DiamondsRock and see, for 2014, it'll be £16 at the gate and £15 in advance online (per match). Guaranteed is 3 League Cup, 14 League matches (16 if Peterborough come in late), and 1 KOC. I presume at least 1 pre-season challenge and possibly 1 Tyne/Tees and Tyne/Tweed Cup each. So 21 matches (plus the Northern 4TT Darryl mentions in the 'Star' this week). So, lets say 22 matches @£15 (if you are able to book online) = £330. Then you just have to hope they progress in the KOC or the LC or reach the Play-offs for the extra matches.

Yep and in 2012 he struggled to get 10 and 8.

Yeah - he struggled to get 11+2 last season at Shielfield

Ta! Tried the usual Copy then Paste but didn't work! Must be an IE11 thing!

I am sure, with so many in the same 'boat' the fixtures will be compiled with this in mind.

You can forget Rusty Harrison in the 1-7 (But at least he's got a Testimonial meeting) Can't post link!!! But it's on the Worky website

It's only Thursday White Knight!

Rumour being the appropriate word. I hope he is a Newcastle rider in 2014. Hope we find out tomorrow.

Completely and utterly wrong.

Well, I would kinda worry if he was older

If we kept the 'other' 6 that finished the season we would be left with 4.22 (Ludo 7.28, Robbo 7.20, Andy 7.19, Anton 7.00, Lewi 6.09, Scrammy 3.52). Christian would come in on 7.07, (but would leave Ludo as number 1).

He'd even help the second halfers

That's narrowing it down one heck of a lot then (compared to a few years ago) as the Beeb has 'lost' most of the sports it used to cover!

No. This will include all matches inc. KO Cup etc., which are not included in the rolling averages. Final BSPA Green sheets (for PL) here: http://www.speedwaygb.co/issues13/pl13_final.pdf

Yes the Beeb 'love a jockey'..... so much so they have dropped all Horse Racing and basically 'gave it away' to Channel 4. McCoy also won Sports Personality in 2010, for basically the same reason you give for him being nominated this year (whole career - 4,000 winners - 18th Champion Jockey title), although he did win his first Grand National in 2010, which helped his cause.

When Tai won the Title it did get a mention on the BBC Sport website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/speedway/24412504 Also: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/speedway/24462371
