Ooooh Missus.

Of course they can. They are the official organisation, under the supervision of the ACU, who are entitled to run speedway in this country. Are you really suggesting that other cowboy black tracks, with amateur officials and no insurance, should be able to hold their own meetings ?

Is that Rene Bach's girlfriend Stef and her brother who was badly injured during last season, iris123.

You. Get your Chopper out.

Yes it is only the business of the two promotions involved, but I fail to see how you can 'suppose' and trivialise it by saying "it's probably only a few hundreds of pounds". I can tell you it will be many thousands and that is a very significant amount, hence the need to go to Arbitration.

Why move on to plan B if there is one. That would be totally unfair to Kus and probably he would not get another ride with the exception of riding for the team he wants a transfer from, and riding on Havvy's terms. Newcastle always look after riders and we will buy him, or go for a loan in March as was stated before.

I think I read that they were going to be issued internally on the 8th and, after new amendments, would be issued straightaway. I agree with your estimate of two weeks.

I think that Berwick fans think that Charlie didn't ride to his true ability whilst employed to ride for the Bandits. They seemed pleased to be rid of him. In the case for Kus, he wants away from Redcar and put in for an official transfer away from them. He has been a popular rider at both Berwick and Redcar despite his earlier inconsistencies.

What a pathetic comment. You don't like them, tough. Some of us do.

i think he top scored for us as a guest at both Peterborough and Glasgow, and was top scorer for Redcar at Rye House which i thought was strange. He had wins at Brough last year as well as beating heat leaders at our place. I never thought, or hoped, we would sign him, but I changed my mind when I saw him last year. I think we will do OK at home, but Kus's away scores will make us very competitive. Remember Kenni Larsen was a bit like Pepe when he first came to us.

And 7.13 means he can't be useless every meeting/ride.

Quoting himself, he has dropped a bollock.

Screm The White Knight resigned from the forum on Dec 29th, and announced the fact on General Discussions on a title such as I Quit. He got the usuals jumping on the band wagon criticising him for doing it, but apparently it's what kids do these days.

In a long winded way, Yes.

It's not exactly mind boggling is it. Reserve a place in every team to accommodate a young British rider. Should have been done years ago, and is a natural progression to add one spot in the PL to go with the Fast Track riders in the EL.

Massive alterations. Widening the straights, taking about 3 metres off the corners which will shorten the straights. Could end up as a totally different track, which is what some want of course. Got the right man doing it in Glyn.

Not to sure if it is still there, but fans could print off a poster from the Newcastle Diamonds and put it in work places, bedrooms, clubs, etc. In most people's experiences, the most profitable/successful contact is an existing speedway supporter bringing a friend/acquantance, and talking them through it during the meeting. Just don't mention TR's, and guests. There seems to be a better comeback rate to return with friends, rather than use the freebie or discounted offer and never return again.

Thought I was in those days. It was leather and a gym shoe in my days and I tried them both.

Yes, I think some of us are milking it.

Hope it goes well, and that Speedway fights alongside the dogs people to get Oxford reopened.

I used to be Milk Monitor prefect at high school, but as you say "totally irrelevant to this thread".

I can't see it being Newcy.

That is essential. We go to Footie tournaments to be seen, and attend all the main Sportsmen's Dinners taking a table at the North East Sports presentations which has all big sports represented and is televised. A lot of networking goes on and past friendships/relationships are revisited.

I think the status of Lord Shawcross made a big difference. It would have been very destructive to the sport, and very damaging to all promoters, if an agreement could not be reached when they were having their heads bashed together in order for them to see sense and recognise each others positions.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Thanks.
