Also tho George what have the Reds/RL club got to offer a new stadium? Neither are competitive, Reds will very likely never be back in the FL and 42 yrs of failure probably justifies that, as far as Town are concerned they can barely compete in the league they are in and are more interested in the peripheral usage of the stadium by external factors? It's without doubt a very awkward situation especially for three poorly supported sides to justify one over the other, a multi sports stadium nowadays would have to accommodate all sports or risk losing someone and potentially have a ground more beneficial to other activities than the sport itself that it's supposed to be built for?

It was tongue in cheek my response mate.... I have watched Bodyguard as well, as an aside, but as far as I'm concerned you can watch telly anytime? Must have watched half said programme on catch up, doesn't detract from the enjoyment at all but if your bag is live local sport that's something you can't catch up on on the telly so you makes your choice?

You have no idea how many times this has cropped up in conversation before and during the season, giving up live speedway to watch the telly?

For goodness sake mate don't give them any more ideas!!!!!

I think it will be a bit closer this time around, don't expect Scunny to just lie down because they don't have any advantage from the home leg? They'll be up for it no doubt and to be fair any winning score will do for me, ill stick with the first figure that came into my head tho 50-40!!

Yeah but back in the "old" days the silencers were of a completely different design to what they are now and the current noise standards must be being met to allow speedway to continue at DP, moving to a redeveloped multi use stadia on the current Borough Park site puts the speedway no closer to housing than we already are at DP?

3G/4G..... what's your mobile data rate got to do with building a pitch?

With only 11 teams in it and on a good run 7 of em out in the first six weeks of the season why wait til the end of July? Once the four qualifiers are known there should be a fixed time period to complete the competition....how difficult can that be??

Not even 500 each I'd say Scarra but, in the long term, a good move perhaps being as the "Green" directly opposite is in line for hotel development? Don't fancy a long drive home at night, couple of hundred yards up the road there's a hotel or a Costa Coffee for the caffeine hit if you do..... could be a whole new outlook down the bottom end of town in a few years time!!

Maybe they should do what they do in Boxing, put all the ties on the line at once aggregate score from the first wins the lot, that would save an awful lot of bother for ya!!

Maybe that big score at Ipswich the night before took it's toll on his bike and it just couldn't summon up another performance of the like and just gave up the ghost, but like I said it's done and it doesn't matter now, just got to battle on regardless!! Rasmus/Rene were both ill on Sunday and shouldn't really have been riding and Bickley looks like he's had enough for this year so yeah, maybe Doolan did beat more Newky rider's than a couple of ours but unfortunately for us he didn't beat the ones that mattered!!

Something on Facebook Geoff say's Newcastle KO Cup QF on Friday night, weather permitting of course, poor spell coming in for most of this week so.... finger's crossed!!

Stonehewer set the precedent back in the early 2000,s riding in the GPs, but that was at a time when the Elite League was exactly that, a league of top class rider's where double ups could just about manage a reserve berth if they were lucky? Thesedays tho it's not the league it was so Cook stands out like a sore thumb, a GP rider in the Championship and a lot of people find that standard unfair? Unfortunately it is what it is, the rules appear to allow it so there's nothing much you can do about it, he's still a top quality rider and people will pay to see him.... obviously from my point of view, should we get Glasgow in the play offs, I'd like to see him have two bad nights so..... let's see what happens!!

With only two teams racing yesterday I find it very hard to believe we struggled for a guest? I'm assuming it was a case of stop at the first guy to say yes and unfortunately for us yesterday that yes came from Doolan? To be fair, I half expected to see a Newcastle junior in there once Pickering was frogmarched to Poland so....not too much difference in that respect but hey, we've had a good run of em lately so I suppose it had to fall flat at some point, disappointing result, not entirely down to Doolan but....it is what it is now so let's just buckle up and see where the next 6wks takes us!!

Your not trying to manipulate our fixture list to suit your own purposes are you HT!!

That'll do then!!

Comets benefitting from a bit of rule bending....well I never!!

Times & Star has a report of Summers being in for Klindt at Newcastle tomorrow?

Absolutely lashing down here, this is not looking good?

If this is true that Barker is a Peterborough asset then all they've done is pulled rank, rather have him ride for than against? Not a good advert for the sport whatever but it is what it is now and we'll just have to battle on regardless, we've done it before, we'll do it again!! Hope Tero has his bike sorted, was smokin like a good un after HT 15 last week?

And only 7 days too!!

Gonna be busy if he's riding for Peterborough as well!! SS will be printed earlier in the week so won't be updated to allow for any changes?

Exactly, why we can't ask for Aaron Summers!!

Just had a look at that Panthers team and those guests are making them a very very dangerous looking outfit? If Garcia turns up in the same form he was for Ipswich he's on for 7 rides and we can't afford RR in that scenario, Campo is going to need to be on top form to cover the danger? Can't think of who we can get to replace Proctor, Kyle Howarth not fit or Charles Wright.... certainly need a good un now!!

Nah, can't have been Diamonds S4E they are going too quickly!!
