The White Knight

As someone else noted - SNAFU!!! Good Post. Regarding Lindgren's Equipment - where are his best Bikes - Newcastle or Sweden?

So very, very true. #ignorantmoo.

He is under performing though RD. Perhaps a rest from the Captaincy might help. We already have an ideal replacement for that job in 'Robbo'. I think he should have been given it in the first place. What if Lindgren goes to Reserve - not an impossible scenario the way things are going for him this Season?

Away from Home - that is questionable.

Both Publications are well worth the money. I always look forward to mine arriving with great anticipation. I have never been let down.

But he is our Captain and Number One. Just turned out to be more sh!te than the rest. Hence, I assume the comments. Hope things change for him soon, or we are in for a long hard Season.

Really??? I can still remember Ivan Mauger. He didn't do too bad around Brough. As someone else stated - David Bargh too.

Well I'm content that I can return to Speedway at Newcastle to be honest. It was looking dodgy for a time. I think the Promotion have done the best they could under very difficult circumstances. Hopefully, even with Lindgren at Number One, we might surprise a few people. I, for one, hope so. I wish the Promotion and the Riders all the very best for the coming Season. Roll on a week on Sunday.

Really sad to hear this News. Another Rider who I used to admire has left us. Rest in Peace + Alan.

Personally, I am going to watch him ride not sing. Don't really care about his singing tbh.

Hopefully that will, perhaps, ease a few minds a little. I am sure things will be sorted out in time. I am concerned but optimistic.

If Danny Phillips has gone to Scunthorpe as has been pointed out on here, that leaves us as the only Team in our League with Riders short. I fervently hope that something can be sorted out soon.

Any News on the 'Bears'? No Posts on here since 27/01/18.

Is this Fat Maud???......................................................

Best of luck Carl. Looking forward to watching you in the new Season. Hope the bloody snow stops by then.

I believe George has very probably been working under severe constraints in Team Building for the new Season. It doesn't matter what Plans you have, if you can't afford them they are useless. George is bringing Speedway back to Brough Park for this Season and I am very grateful to him for that. I am also prepared to wait and see what he comes up with to complete the Team. Remember we could - conceivably - have had no Speedway at all in the coming Season. You need to cut George, and the rest of the Promotion a little slack here.

Spelks.

Is that Pete Seaton I see?

I just wonder whether you have ever been to Redcar SP? The Track certainly isn't narrow, and I have seen some fantastic races there. I, for one, am very pleased that Redcar are staging the 4's. I am sure that they would not have been awarded them had assurances not been given regarding the size of the Crowd and viewing ability of said Crowd. Personally, I wish Redcar and the Promotion all the luck in the world with this endeavour. It is a feather in their cap to bring such a prominent Event to the North East.

You deserve a medal Dave for all the work you, and your Team put in.

The 'Lean, Green Racing Machine' that is - - - Andrew Tully?

Thanks for that The Cheese.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Jim Airey Article. I saw Jim at Sunderland when he came, with Gordon Guasco, over from Australia to ride for us. It was obvious even then that he was potentially, a great talent as was Gordon. I look forward to reading the piece in 'Classic Speedway' when it comes out. salty - I subscribe to both 'BackTrack' and 'Classic Speedway', that way you don't miss anything.

I take it one is allowed an opinion Steve. You know mine. I don't hate Lindgren by the way, I just think that a change would have been better for him, and for Newcastle Diamonds. I do not think that he has reached the heights that his obvious potential demonstrated earlier in his career.

Congratulation to Kevin & Co. for getting this Event to the North East. I think it will be a tremendous day out. I hope the weather is kind. Well done Redcar and the very best of luck - you deserve it. Hopefully I'll be there.
