  1. Was it reported to the ref then, or not? I saw NO evidence of it happening (the 'tampering' not the report).
  2. I thought the idea was to turn up with Newcastle riders, not a team with guests in it? . It's not as if Plymouth are going to be in the Play-offs and seeing as Newcastle are just about there it surely is up to Newcastle whether they accepted the date offered, or not. Why pay a guest (possibly paying him more than Richie would get) when they should be looking after there own. From memory, George E roughly said that in the afternoon it looked like the wrong decision to call it off, but rain later on meant that it was the right call.
  3. If Adults want to attend both matches, it's £10 admission on the Monday IF you attended on the Sunday. If you brought kids on Sunday and want to bring them on the Monday, they will get in for FREE for the Plymouth match.
  4. If you can't run a meeting in 2 and a half hours, there is something sadly wrong. Yes, accidents can happen, etc., etc., but 2 and a half hours should be ample enough time. Most (with the odd exception like Kent and Sheffield) midweek teams run with a 7.30pm start and I'd guess have a 10pm curfew and they, generally, seem to manage ok.
  5. I thought there was a few decent races tonight. Richie going in between two Lions riders going into the 3rd bend, when the Lions made the gate, took some b**ls. Lewi keeping the tactical Ricky Wells at bay for four laps in heat 5 and Ludvig's outside overtake in heat 15, all worthy of a mention I think.
  6. A bit contradictory that (no offence). How do you tell supporters a meeting is off if they are at work? Newcastle, a few seasons ago, tried a great idea. Fans gave them their mobile phone number and if a meeting was called off they were sent a text telling them so. Otherwise "telling the supporters at the same time as everyone else" is obviously pointless in your eyes, as they are at work and not on Twitter/Facebook/Official website etc., etc.
  7. Correct me if I'm wrong - but weren't the PL play-offs brought in because Sky said they would show the Final live if they did.... and then Sky didn't show the final live? I'm against the play-offs personally. Although, at least, the team finishing top this season will get a trophy, as in the last few seasons the teams finishing top got sod all. Different 'Kettle of Bananas' I know, but it's like the PLRC, when a few years back, Peter Carr won it after he'd scored 8 pts. The team finishing 6th could be crowned 'League Champions' just doesn't sound right to me, but we all know the rules of the competition before it starts and all clubs agreed on it, so we just have to get on with it.
  8. It was also said Andre Compton would guest (in place of Hynek Stichaur) on Friday, but not sure this is the case now that Rasmus Jensen has declared himself fit.
  9. Forget Adam McKinna. He's already said he's quitting at the end of the season.
  10. Only Lewi, Tully and Anton got R/R rides last night (according to updates site), which I am presuming means Ludo has been declared the higher of the two.
  11. We used R/R for Robbo at No. 5 last week as the line-up was already declared with Robbo at No.5. and it was too late to re-shuffle the side as Robbo was injured on the Friday. We are using R/R at No.2 up at Berwick tonight.
  12. 'Proper' guest for one and R/R for the other surely (IF God forbid, it were to happen).
  13. Did George not say something about Ostergaard "would love to ride for Newcastle but couldn't because we are a Sunday track"?
  14. Nothing sinister in my reply either. You asked "why not run it as a double header" and I replied accordingly. I know you're views on the 'non-running' of the Tyne/Tees Trophy, other forum members would be unaware as to what those views were/are.
  15. It's all tracks inc NL for the Air/Poly Fence for 2014.
