  1. Funningly enough, you were probably better away.
  2. People expect natural things like rainoffs, but it's different when negligence and cover ups are expected to be accepted.
  3. Aye, and the same nerds will be asking why was it changed.
  4. Yes he did. After 4 times asking him to come to Newcastle, Robert remembered and rang Alan Hedley saying something like 'do you still want me'. Yes and it starts at 7.30pm. The Club is right next to the Metro station.
  5. Quite agree, but as other teams sign big riders that means less alternative teams for them to sign for. Given that Robert particularly asked to come to us as it matched his EL commitment to Kings Lynn, and Steve and his wife's family seem to love to come to Brough, I would be quite confident we must be in their frame. Let's hope Monday is Black and White Monday, when we hear some of the signings at the George Talkin at the South Gosforth Club.
  6. And i said we would not think about promotion until it happens. I don't need to read TWK's post.
  7. And I don't think it will be even considered until we have won the playoffs. The TOON is 5 points in the lead and 9 points from the next team in the Championship, but Rafa will not be talking promotion. It's foolish and arrogant to get ahead of yourself, so if it happened, then it happens.
  8. I don't really rate the lad because of his inconsistency, but he always seems to get on the rostrum for meetings like U19 and U21. Strange.
  9. We did consider it once, and that and the lack of travelling away fans killed the idea. Belle Vue our nearest derby, not a runner.
  10. Lucky Berwick, wish we had similar access, instead of 'just Sunday and nowt else'.
  11. Quite agree. Laurence gives his all for speedway, despite health problems, makes mistakes and gets genuine criticism. But if it wasn't for helpers like him, putting their time and effort in, their wouldn't be a sport called speedway for the none attendees and non doers to moan about.
  12. You must be easy put off then. Do you know it he is unavailable, on holiday, etc, but once again moan moan. As has been pointed out on here, the problem with the progression of the Gerhard engine is he is a small unit, and would not appear to be able at this present time to consider mass production. It is out of season, you don't know what he is doing, neither do i BTW, and a week is hardly out of order IMO.
  13. Point I can't understand. With a limiter in place, when it reaches the chosen limit does it cut out or, like the name of the piece of kit, maintain the limit level regardless.
  14. If you are talking about the Honda experiment, your following statements are not true. Honda had won every motorcycle championship, and in an anniversary year, they tried to break into speedway through Mick Grant, their Tech guy and former rider, who was a childhood mate of Eric's. Standard Motorcross engines, either 650 or 450cc's, with gearboxes, were bolted into standard frames, and it was obvious from the outset that the acceleration was woeful, and would have been semi OK only on the large circle circuits at constant revs. The riders hated them, and with the necessary development in engine cases to eliminate the gears, the whole idea was ditched. So your 'shooting itself in the foot again" is not applicable to the BSPA, except to you with your statements.
  15. Interesting as Proctor was a team mate and friend of Havvy jnr at Redcar, a couple of years ago.
  16. NEWCASTLE SPEEDWAY track work As usual we will be down the track on Sunday at 9.30am to complete the office floor repairs. All internal work, so the heavy rain forecast will not affect us. Usual hot drinks and biccies available all day. See you there.
  17. It was reported early on that Chris Morton had lost his house though it.
  18. Connor came up with Lewis Rose, and I believe they come from the same town/village. He enjoyed his visit, but with riding for Mildenhall he is likely to join a more local club. Knight has twitted that he will be unable to start the new season. NJC71 For those reasons I don't see the point of including him again. I know some are suggesting reserves will be weaker, but is that really a reason for including him? Surely that's a better reason for giving a rider who might have more longer term potential a chance? I suspect he will get a place but I think that's more to do with the paucity of riders riding up here. If they had options I doubt he'd be in the team. Of course
