Why start another thread when there is already a Newcastle 2012 thread??

Yes, I realise you said could! The thing is though, Richie scored 10+1 from 6 rides at Plymouth for us back on 9th September, so I doubt a 3 point 'rookie' would get anything like that (please note I said "doubt" LOL). Joe (for the record) scored 4 from 4 from the number 3 position.

I refer you back to my original post:- re devaluing the (PL) product. There are 3 other PL matches that night, plus an individual meeting at Leicester, so getting a PL reserve guest in in the first place is greatly reduced! And how would bringing in an NL guest for Richie (3.74 ave) make us stronger??

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. Surely it's up to the NL meeting promoters to come up with a suitable date which benefits both teams? Somerset vs Scunthorpe in itself suggest that riders are 'double booked' (for the want of a better phrase) and, along with Plymouth vs Newcastle was arranged weeks ago, so why should PL teams release riders for a 'lower-tier' match, when their own PL match was (re)arranged first? Plus the fact that Scunthorpe can ride on any day of the week, suggests that an alternative date where riders aren't riding elsewhere, could be found, surely?

Yes, which is why he missed the GB Under-21 vs USA Touring Team match at Dudley last night. He's been missing with a back injury since 18th September.

Newcastle are already two riders down and need a reserve guest as it is (R/R for Kyle Newman and guest reserve for Joe Haines), so there is no chance they will release Richie and de-value the product even further.

Another thread in the 'individual, shared etc' section on the forum already started for the Fours.

Errr.... no he didn't.... Ted Rogers was the host of 3-2-1 (Dusty Bin and those stupid clues!!!). "Come on Down" was The Price Is Right 'catchphrase' and was hosted by (originally) Leslie Crowther. But it's an easy mistake to make!

Has this meeting been called off? Adam McKinna says on his Facebook status that "no meeting on wednesday now wonder how long this racing drought is gonna last."

As mentioned above.... See more here: http://www.mckinnaracing.com/news_article.asp?id=76

I thought for one terrible moment he had been fishing illegally, or something! Seriously though, well done to the lad and let's hope he continues in the same vain on the shale as we could do with some young talent coming through the ranks.

Adam McKinna guests for the injured Byron Bekker.

That was (kind of) my point!! But I thought I would let a Glasgow fan point it out!

IF Travis McGowan had been missing (and ONLY Travis), then it would have been R/R!

No idea if this helps but give it a try! Link: http://www.foundem.co.uk/M/bikes/Bike-Books/Plymouth_Speedway.jsp

Sorry.... but I missed the fact that post #10 had been updated! Thanks anyway

Is there any chance of some kind soul telling us who scored what last night please (i.e. individual score chart)? Thanks in advance.

Well done to Adam (McK). Not Bad (7 + 1) for someone who broke their neck just 8 weeks ago!

There is no such thing as a 'friendly bully'. A bully is a bully. Meanwhile - in a vain attempt to get this back on thread - Lubos is a smashing lad, I know him from when he rode for the Diamonds, but, in my opinion, he isn't and probably never will be a 9 point PL rider. Once he gets a true average, Stoke can then re-assess the situation and re-build from there. The same might be said of the re-signing of Claus Vissing, but only time will tell on all issues.

Cheers 'Stoaty'! 'A' & 'S' are next to each other on the keyboard and hit the 'a' key rather than the 's' key and forgot to check it before submitting my post (as for Resch)!
