But scored 12 for a Newcastle Select side at Redcar last night

The Ben Fund meeting is about to start and I've noticed that half the field (8 out of 16) are ex-Newcastle riders !!

2017

Team Managers announced as George English & Stuart Robson

Yes, but if there has been a change and the Pits Marshal or Clerk of the Course hasn't informed him, he can only go by who is programmed. Most referees would spot any uninformed changes pretty quickly, though.

Explanation from the Farewell Committee (copied and pasted off Facebook) is given on the Robbo's Farewell thread in Testimonial Section on the Forum.

Short interview with Team Manager Gavin Parr:

Maybe because they still had a job to do until the end of heat 15? Plenty of time to celebrate then. That is when you celebrate IMO.

Yet they are allowing Aussies/New Zealanders into the League in 2023 ? !!

Ty Proctor signs for Birmingham:

Or the Mockers.....

So - if you have cash in your pocket - but no money in your bank account, you can't get in?

Already been mentioned earlier in the thread.

45pts from the top 5 + 1pt from heat 2 = 46?

Jake Turner confirmed by Plymouth https://www.facebook.com/plymouthgladiators

Ex-Diamond Paul Starke https://plymouth-speedway.com/the-2023-gladiators/

Was the Premier Trophy a "Mickey Mouse Cup" as well then, as this is the same thing, only under a different name?

I think Riss is number 1 in the averages, so should start at No.1.

BAGS meeting. Hardly anyone turns up to watch for a BAGS meeting. Spectators normally attend evening fixtures.

The result is immaterial, as long as all riders are safe at the end of the meeting and those who attend enjoy the evening. I'm guessing that it will be hoped that most (if not all) of the seven riders will be ex-Diamonds. Also to answer one of your queries from an earlier post of yours, I know funds are being raised to help towards the costs of the Select side.

So why query it then? You may not be bothered whether the meeting takes place, but there a fair few from Newcastle (and the surrounding area) who are bothered, as it will be great to see a "Newcastle" side taking to the track once again.
