  1. He's actually a Newcastle novice, who only started riding 5 years ago in my Training sessions at Newcastle at the age of 47. Keen as mustard and occasionally mech's for other riders.
  2. But very accurate, and you would have agreed if you had been there. Says the well troubled Scottish troll who is always on the lookout for a bit of bother with the usual suspects. Get over ya sel, before I set Paulco on you.
  3. A close meeting in front of the biggest crowd of the season thanks to the Groupon promotion. Never more than two points in it at any stage, it was hard to say at anyone time which team would come out the victor. Man of the Match has to be the blind referee from Middlesbrough Michael Breckon. How he didn't see Risager, for once in a hurry, at a fast rate of knots overtake Luddi on the outside beside the start gate, then drive up the inside across the first bend and take Christian off who the ref then excluded him. Shocking decision. Risager having been out of control once, tried a fast burst down the back straight in his next ride overtaking a surprised Tungate down the back straight squeesing between him and the fence just to swop places when on the final lap of a 3-3. Sheer madness and I wonder what CL would have said if either had come down and got injured. I won't mention the rollers that Barker was getting away with, so much so George E spent most of the meeting at the starting gate getting more and more frustrated with the refs reluctance to do anything about it. Before you ask, Robbo did not roll once and, if he had, surely Michael from Middlesbrough would have excluded him from the meeting no doubt. Quite a difficult choice for MOTM but Michael won it by a mile. Worrying night for Steve, and a poorish night from Luddi who has often been the big match winner at home but was off it tonight, passing Heeps in one race and the being retaken by Heeps on the same bend. Pulling up shortly afterwards said a lot. If he is doing too many meetings here and abroad, well there is an easy answer to this problem. Barker was star of the actual show, never giving up and very wild when passing others. Carried some fantastic speed going into the corners, Risager would have been impressed. Lots of niggling with him and our riders, with him doing Richie twice within two bends in one race. Typical, after all the earlier reports of his current form, that he comes to us and gets 14, after his splendid 18 the night before at Berwick. Ipswich will be a bigger handful for the rest of the PL now. And finally. Kerr tries to pass Hawkins past the startline in heat 8, Hawkins does a bad left on him causing contact, Kerr's foot slipping off his footpeg trying to stay on his bike, and you've guessed it, Stevie Wonder in the box has missed it. Good for Kerr he talked it over with Richie H when back in the pits. A disappointing result, especially after our win at their place on Thursday, when I am assured we had the greatest will to win. Well tonight, it was the other way round.
  4. It's use would still be of value today, by binding the shale.
  5. I think we will see a good meeting tomorrow with some good racing. If all our boys are on song , yes we should win, BUT. From reports, we were ahead of them on Thursday in terms of gating, so if the gates are prepared as usual we, should be OK.
  6. Ha ha, you crease me. Never ever said I was, except when I know more about what we are talking about than you. Well you have, haven't you.
  7. Fantastic away win for the Bears. I doubt anybody thought that would happen, especially with the Monarchs getting a facility when not entitled to one.
  8. Sorry about that, but I thought this was a forum and didn't realise yours was the only opinion of worth. Richard Ed.
  9. Damn Chauffeurs night off. Mind you, she did cook a nice tea.
  10. Why is it that Newman always gets the blame with you lot. If anybody else, except Wright last year of course, has a stinker you all seem to find an excuse for them. Kyle should change his name to Jason or Bluey Newman.
  11. Brilliant result building up from a poorish start. Some good steady performances, but starting to worry a bit for Steve though. Damn I wish I had gone now.
  12. Surely must be for other reasons for your decision. You would honestly cancel your subscription because the data is not by league. Oh Dear.
  13. Quite correct. Sticking with Brits and young Danes, not involved in Poland, we have not had a great problem with signing riders. The Brits of course, can hold down a full 5 day job whilst riding on a Sunday, and the Danes, when they get better, and contemplating Poland, are usually getting snapped up by EL teams then. The spin off, and not really the case with Scottish teams, is we get a reasonable number of Northern teams fans, if they treat the day as a day out for speedway.
  14. Even with the new averages applicable tomorrow, that lovely lad learning to gate, Robbo, will still be number 1 and the rest anywhere else, except the two reserves. Interestingly, Tully's average has increased in the new figures and he hasn't even ridden. Obviously they have dropped a couple of earlier meetings poorer results, so he is getting better when he doesn't ride.
  15. I knew it was going to be a late decision, hence my last sentence in post #12. Away teams have to forward their team about 3 days ahead to the home team for printing, and if Andrew didn't ride nothing was lost as it would be R/R again. Probably for now ride him at 2 as well. to take pressure off him in the number 5 position. We'll see, but that's what I would do and ride Richie at 5 as he is doing so well.
  16. When Richie got injured last year he was top man on about 8.5, but we could only replace him with his then average of about 4.0 + This year the tables have turned, and we have a top heatleader for the average of about 5.64. Tully is very near to coming back, watch this space.
  17. Whose kicked you in the knads. or are you looking for a volunteer. The legal Newcastle team will be as follows :- Robbo R/R Christian Lindgren Richie Lewis Steve and I hope R/R gets a max.
