The White Knight

He will be paid Start money, I would suggest.

What facts? - I was talking about the veracity of the original Post, nothing else. Think before you Post - it is usually considered a good idea. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That's what I like about Newcastle - they have stuck, to a large extent to giving Paul Starke Steve Worrall's Reserve position. I think it is great that the 'Diamonds' are persevering with a young BRITISH Rider and not signing up suspect foreigners who are no better than our British National League Lads. He is doing very well too.

I don't think so - the Worrall Brothers are still injured. :sad: I will have to miss this one as I am on Holiday. I hope it is a good Meeting, with the right result of course, and no injuries to either Team.

One of the highlights of the Meeting for me was in Heat 15. Cory Gathercole (I think it was) did a superb 'lay down' when Lemmo fell in front of him. I don't like to see falls, but when they happen it is great to see someone do the right thing and put the Bike down. He earned a commendation from the Referee - GREATLY deserved. :approve:

Well - I suppose a Point is better than nothing - though I was hoping for a win.

I'm pleased about that Abbott - he is improving steadily, week by week. :approve:

Good Luck to the 'Diamonds' tonight. Should be a good Meeting.

Hope you are right Mike. No injuries to either Team would be good too. Good Luck to the 'Diamonds'.

Aaaahhhhh! Thirteen Heats. Those WERE the days. :approve: A Second Half too - Happy Days!!

Aaahhh - an optimist.

I must say that I was quite impressed with young Paul Starke last night. I think this Rider has great potential.

Weather looking great for once. I am looking forward to some good Speedway. Hopefully no injuries.

Ooops. I never thought of looking there for some reason. Age probably. Thank you very much skittle_face.

Could someone please confirm for me whether or not our Groupons Vouchers can be used at this Meeting? Thanking you in anticipation. :)

I think I will be happy just to see the Meeting go ahead. B****y Weather. :mad:

Nice to see you back on the Forum Norbold. You have been missed. :approve:

Don't lots of foreign Riders?

This doesn't happen a lot. BUT - I totally agree with you backless. I was saddened that the Presentation wasn't shown. It would have been had it been Cricket, Football, Rugby or Golf. Obviously SKY don't consider there are enough Viewers to worry about keeping us Speedway Supporters happy. :sad: It's great that SKY show the Event - but - it is always nice to see the Prizes awarded at the end. Here's hoping for the next time.

Shame this - two weeks with no Speedway - how will I cope? :sad: Thank you for Posting the fact that the Meeting is 'Off' early folks.

I'm still very concerned about the Weather. By the look of the Weather Map on BBC - it looks like it could be the same as last week. :unsure:

Not offended by your comments in any way Old Saint. I just profoundly disagree with them. Our Military are very necessary in this day and age when Terrorism across the World is rife. If the Security risk is deemed by those who decide these things to require an Army/Navy/Air Force presence, then I personally would be glad to see them. I would also feel a lot safer because of them. I do not believe that this sort of thing will lead to the militarization of our Streets - it is just taking sensible precautions - that is all. Imagine if there HAD been an incident and there were no Troops present - the General Public would be demanding to know why they were not being protected - justifiably so in my opinion. The more protection the better as far as I am concerned. You are though, entitled to your opinion.

People don't need to know the Rules. ...............................or so I am told. :rolleyes:

Yes Diamonds7 - I noticed that. I will be keeping everything crossed for Monday Night. It really has been a dreadful year this from the Weather point of view. Newcastle haven't suffered too badly in the early part of the Season. Let's just hope that the Meeting will be 'on' and that we can get some Speedway on Monday. I am missing my 'fix'. :sad:

Great idea.
