Worky weren't at the AGM either were they.

Just to add about Northside. When the Bickley's ceased to run Northside, it was taken on by a junior rider's father Malcolm McCoy. During his time Laura has been extremely helpful to Malcom giving him her old shale and lending him a good tractor. With some considerable work Malcolm, has transformed the track, which he probably could not have done without her help. When Northside stopped riding official NJL meetings, Laura allowed the Northside Stars to ride at Derwent Park.

I am sure he BSPA would not allow the transfer of assets, if the licence holder has speedway debts. They would look after those within rather than let non promoters sell their assets and keep the money. in any case during this year, the 7 riders that Worky signed, will be controlled by the BSPA in the same way they control foreign riders.

Indépendant, and run by Malcolm McCoy.

I think the assets will come under the control of the BSPA, and if Worky has speedway debts(BSPA, Riders, other clubs) the BSPA will sell the Worky assets to pay off speedway debts as a priority.

Apparently a Glasgow fan is reported as breaking the news before the official Worky announcement.

2 years 8 months, and had to sign the Sex Offenders Register and be on it for 10 years.

....or a night with SCB.

If, as R & R suggests and I would agree, the matter that needs to be resolved for both new clubs is the increase in the Bond that each club has to lodge with the BSPA, if they haven't then I don't see how the BSPA can take any blame at all. You join something, you know the rules, you conform to the rules and you get accepted into the league. Not that hard to do is it ?

And possibly acquire some assets or lodge more money to cover the difference.

Pepsi was also called Cloggs, so he is the same chap, redlead.

I run the Newcastle Training school usually on a Sunday afternoon, and have done since I started it 10 years ago. Riders are provided with all the gear and the bikes, and they can be of any ability or sex. I have little starter bikes (80 and 90 cc's) and the 125/140cc's bikes as the limit for my type of training school is limited to 150cc by SCB regs. I charge £3, and that is for the medical cover I have to pay. Riders are supervised at first to determine their ability, and so beginners start with a trainer on the bike, who eventually hands over control of the bike. The new riders are then out on their own and given instruction what to work on and what to do. My Gems team has 5 riders to pick from who all had their first rides on a speedway bike at the training school, and they ride in the only home grown team in the country. Currently we have Archie Freeman(14 years old)l who last year was British Youth Champion at 150cc level, and NJL 125 champion, and the highest average in the NJL. He is now a member of the No Limits squad mentioned above with Rory Schlein. Josh Embleton(22) is the 2018 Champion of the NJL at the 500cc level, rode for Birmingham in the NL last year and is currently looking for a place in the NL in 2019 . There are other riders who started with us who have moved on to other NJL teams and one at Championship level. As others have hinted at, the junior scene is currently way more advanced that the sport was a few years ago, under the umbrella on Neil Vatcher and now SCB. We have probably got the best crop of young British riders for over 10 years.

And presumably moving forward on the seat so you are just passed the maximum drive position, to stop you flipping over.

I'll guess she lives in West Allotment John. In mining areas, houses are usually built on a raft foundation, instead of the strip foundations which are under all the walls usually inside and outside.

What would they think if the club weren't conforming to the correct conditions.

In the late 90's there was a request for riders to be allowed programable ignition systems, which would auto do the settings for different stages in the racing. A vote was held with all league riders, and there was a majority of riders who didn't want such an extra expense. So when I knew that Seemond had a switch on his bars, I knew it was an attempt to change the ignition setting from retard at the start gate, to normal after the first bend. I pointed this out during the meeting, hence why Seemond stopped using it, but after the referee refused to do anything about it, Seemond went back to using it and won his last race. They definitely worked. Just a pity that at a later year 2002, Davey Watt hadn't used one and he might have reached the first bend with everyone else. Instead of tootling around at the back for the 3 rides we allowed him.

No, it was a retard switch Steve, which by using it it was deemed to be a programable adaption. The rider Seemond was retarding the engine at the start and, when hitting the bend in front, returning the setting to normal. His starting was so suspect it was pretty obvious. I was the one that was tipped off by Nick Thorp(Andre's Mechanic then) and registered a complaint to the ref. Interesting Seemond stopped using it for a couple of races before using it again after the ref turned the complaint down, for a scoresheet like 33003. Pretty obvious wasn't it.

Not true. A rider has a rider pass and when not riding at a meeting he has no auto right to take someone else in with him. If he is riding his allowance is plus 1 to cover his 1 mechanic. A second mechanic is usually allowed tho. Some riders take great humbridge to having their vehicle searched to see if they are abiding to the official rules. I once had a Diamonds rider who told me he could bring in 22 guests if he wanted to, and I told him his proper entitlement and I never ever saw him bringing in his 22 as threatened. Riders need to be reminded of these rules, and the clubs have the balls to support the pits doorman who tries to enforce the rules. Freeby's are a nuisance to all paying fans.

Also Josh Auty has been using them.

Yes, at Scunny.

I think I remember Dean being in favour of them a short while ago. Incidentally, I am told Josh Auty did tests on these limiters at Scunny last year.

Newcastle Diamonds Training Group.

All the details are on the training site RD. 10 till 2.

Freebies should only be people who provide something or organise something for the club, or work on Raceday. At Newcastle we allow each genuine freeby a guest to also come in free.
