Short lived memory you have. You slagged off , by the way try to bend the rules to bring in a replacement for Phillips, problem was Phillips did not play ball.

Drew Kemp and Kasper Andersen now have proper averages. Drew moves into the main body of the team and Zaine Kennedy moves to reserve.

one of the present team to be announced as an asset.

Predicting a Leicester win by 6.

Could go either way. Redcar and some of their side have started very well in recent meetings. Sheffield look pretty strong and riders that have done well at Redcar. Should be a good match up.

Not really a fan of individual meetings so went along with not much expectations. The actual presentation of the meeting was far far better than in previous seasons, and the little touches for the kids was nice to see could well encourage more families to come through the gate. The track and the racing was poor, there is no getting away from that, there was a definite blue line that appear on the 3rd and 4th bend, that did not help matters and it looked like a a very slick track. This seems a bit strange as those who had attended the Press and Practice said that the track was completely different, so it will be interesting to see how Glynn Taylor the new track curator prepares the track for future meetings as he does have a good reputation for preparing a decent race track. Really pleased with the 7 Sheffield riders, I thought they all did well, and I was especially impressed with Zaine Kennedy he looked like he could well be a good find. We look to have 7 racer's in the team, and I think the Promotion will have successful and productive season if they give them a track to race on rather than a track for them to ride on.

Personally I prefer team race suits. But I think we have to see what clubs can afford, and for some the race suits could be an unnecessary expense. The thing that I find fascinating is Jason Garrity's bike and kevlars the name Sheffield Window Centre features heavily, Sheffield's long term team sponsors.

No pure guess work to be honest.

My guess is that both will be at Newcastle. And I reckon that Josh Bates will replace Worrall and Josh McDonald will replace Lambert.

For a number of clubs the profits that are produced for the catering does not go into the clubs pockets it goes into the pockets of the landlords of the stadium, and they have very little or no say in what is served up. Having viewed on FB some of the stuff that Barry Bishop eats, I would be very wary of anything that is homemade by him.

Saw Macdonald at Sheffield last season at the Big Gun meeting. Very entertaining and exciting rider but also very hairy. not too sure as to whether or not the tight technical track at Newcastle would suit him. If it was me I would go with Carl Wilkinson, know the track and rides the track well.

You might have a point.

Depends how it was done if it is done via a text message yes it is wrong, if you have promised or given a contract to ride for a team, or if you have signed a contract to ride for a team, then plans are changed you should afford better communications between both parties. And doing via a text message is not the right way of going about it, whether it is a rider breaking a promise/contract or club. And for the record I did add and highlighted the word If as the only version thing I have read is the riders version.

If the rider was told that his services were no longer wanted then it is a poor show from the Newcastle Promotion. Whatever the reason for releasing a rider do it via text message is wrong.

Listening to this interview made me think, listen to the start of the interview, and how many times he says the word I.

A relative new Co Promoter at Newcastle, maybe he has a stronger influence over team matters.

Hard to see how but who knows.

Palovaara and Wethers out Worrall and Mikkel B Andersen in I reckon.

Wednesday 20th March 5.00pm.

Have to agree with you, and those that are running the sport should take notice that the likes of Paulco becomes cynical. Over recent years there has been so much happened in the sport that has been unexplained or simple skulduggery, and no proper answer given as to how or why decisions have been made, that even a die in the wool fans of not just their team but speedway in general start ask questions or are sceptical.

Lets face it Glasgow were always going to bring in Kyle Bickley either now or sometime very very early in the season. And who can blame them we are all in it to win it, and if you feel you can improve the team then you going to do it. The timing of it is questionable and the reasoning for it. I throw this in to a possible reasoning for it. If Glasgow sack the rider for misconduct rather than dropping the rider maybe the loan fee than releasing the rider maybe they can get the loan fee that they would have had to pay to Sheffield for the rider would be refunded. I would love to see the riders contracts at Glasgow, because if the vaping story is true then wonder how long the contracts are would be very interesting to see.

With a start time of Sunday's 4.30 pm as opposed to Thursdays 7.30 pm I don't think that school holidays really matter.

Saw him at Sheffield this season in the Top Gun meeting, where the standard was around the reserve/ lower second string standard for this season's Championship. Was a bit wild but very entertaining his ride in heat 19 showed this, takes the lead drift wide into the fence. looking like he was going to come of, but somehow catapulted off the fence and shot back into the lead and won the race. To give you an idea Kyle Bickerley rode the meeting and scored 6 failed to make the Semi Final or Final. Josh scored 10 and went out in the Semi Final.

I will go with Sheffield Somerset Eastbourne Leicester Dark Horses Redcar As people have mentioned at Sheffield we have Drew Kemp on a 2 point average, whereas in truth but for one meeting he is really a 4.5 rider, on top of that we have Kasper Andersen on a assessed 5.20 average whereas he is maybe one or two meetings away from been a 6 point rider., both Andersen and Kemp are false averages and gives a more than potential 3,5 advantage over the other teams. Eastbourne might have decent reserves at home, but with American Broc Nichol either starting or moving quickly down to reserve we have a rider that can adapt very quickly to a small technical track as he is used to riding those types of tracks in the States, he proved that last season when he cope more than adequately at Lakeside.

Reasonably solid Newcastle side, and one or two names in that team who would not think of Newcastle type riders Of the last two riders. Not surprised to see Phillips name down on the team sheet with his old man one of the promoters at the club and he did a decent job when he was last there. Bjerre, good rider and kind be spectacular on his day, but is someone who is very difficult to manage and can be at times disruptive, if you can get him in the right fame of mind and happy he is capable of beating anyone, if not then you have problems and he will let you know.
