Seen more passing tonight than just about every other meeting this season combined.... Really enjoyed the Leicester meeting but we lost that one... this on the other hand had an Edinburgh side trying their damdest to spoil the party vocal away fans cheering their team on and we still came out on top... Cracking meeting and satisfying result... Brilliant... top level entertainment... Regards THJ

Big changes for Edinburgh following tonight's meeting... two out and two in by the looks of things... Regards THJ

FFS woman will you stop banging on about changing the team you are getting right on my thruppeny bits... You keep coming up with these random ridiculous names of riders who haven't a snowball's chance in hell of coming to, signing or riding for Newcastle... And on Buckhave being young and needing a chance.... he's a quarter of a century in now and will be 26 in December so I would suggest if he was gonna make anything of himself we would be seeing something a bit more special than what we have witnessed to date... he aint pulling any trees up yet... and he ain't that young... Regards THJ

Yes ya would....

Honestly Knowing how this lot operate don't rule out Carl Wilkinson on a 3.98... However you do like your random names so how about Fritz Wallner on a straight 4.00... Regards THJ

Yep I was aware thanks and along with the following synonyms: distinctive, individual, characteristic, distinct, distinguishing, peculiar, individualistic, different, typical, special, specific, representative, unique, personal, private, essential; eccentric, unconventional, uncommon, abnormal, irregular, aberrant, anomalous, odd, off-centre, quirky queer, strange, weird, bizarre, outlandish, freakish, extraordinary; rare and singular; and if you ask any Scunny or Newcastle fan all of which can be used for Danny Phillips. Of course all done in the best possible taste... Regards THJ

Was Idiosyncratic not a Russian who rode in the Polish leagues a few year back? Regards THJ

Meant in the context of your correction in that he should up his average but its not always the case that all experinced riders who have been around a bit improve Simon Lambert been around a bit and never improved unfortunately... Poor grammar in it.... but no excuse... humble apologies... I knew what I meant when I rit it... pity no one else did... but never mind shouldnt post off my phone as small print makes proof reading difficult... especially when the eyesight is failing... Well that's my excuse an I'm sticking to it.. Regards THJ

Go on then am available.... Funnily enough I keep praying to the Good Lord for that very thing to happen and every night I say my prayers and end with "please God if you can let me win big on the lottery" and it hasn't happened yet.... however last night in a dream the Good Lord came to me and told me what he wanted me to do and when he finished I asked "Lord every night for the last 10 years I have ask for a big lottery win an still nothing? Whats wrong?" He said "John you are going to have to work with me here" "I said Lord what would you like me to do" and he said "well you could at least buy an effing ticket for a start" Doh!!! Regards THJ

To easy a call to be honest made to measure and instantly available... and he will do a job plus it might be the change he needs to kick start his season and although he's been around a bit he still an experienced rider.. good luck to him... Regards THJ

Honestly Shafted is only a perception; a word that conveys the basic feelings most Comets fans feel with what has come to fruition throughout this whole sorry affair... The machinations that have gone on beggar belief. The unfortunate situation the former owner found herself in losing her business. Then the manoeuvring done by the previous council for all the reasons put forward previously and the manoeuvring done by Town in the first instance then by the Reds all to the detriment of the Comets... not including the bull squat spouted by Town's management team... Apart from the Comets going pop; to me the outgoing councillors hold the bulk of the blame with the two sporting clubs sharing what's left on the dismantling of DP... however all that Town and Reds have done to be fair is maximised there own positions due to the Speedway falling over and quite selfishly looked after their own interest to the detriment of the Comets... If either of those two went belly up I doubt if many Speedway fans would have lost any sleep (Well may be me old pal Singy) but if the shoe was on the other foot would we as Speedway fans feel any sympathy... possibly not... However we all feel shafted over losing the sport we love and enjoy and for the ground where we went to watch our sport of choice having the heart and soul being ripped out of it which means there is no chance of it coming back to that venue... and as stated there has been a certain amount of Jiggery Pokery going on what you will never get to the bottom of... I am now close to some of the newly elected Allerdale councillors and some of the story's I am hearing from them (if true) are shocking. However there is goodwill from many of these new council members and they would be open (I believe) to suppoting the sport at another venue if somewhere suitable could be found... However it's Catch 22 as you need someone to sink money into the sport to get the whole process with the council rolling as it won't start rolling until a promoter can be found... and all the pitfalls of that scenario have been well discussed... Sorry but I also feel that it's gone never to return... Sad times... Regards THJ

Think you're right with this one and Ully is a stitched on certainty to grace the M P A... Regards THJ

Cancel my last Captain Pugwash has just been out on the dog track and explained the situation Re Bukhave Regards THJ

Honestly Genuine question Why is that the case? Regards THJ

Why did this contenders thread go cold? However I still stand by what I said on the 27th March 2019 "The two Stand out teams for me are Glasgow and Leicester and both should be a shoe in for a top four spot" Regards THJ

Honestly I have asked the same question without getting a reasonable answer back and I am guessing that the Rugby Club will have had a tenancy contract with the Speedway that basically gave them as landlords the right to do what ever they wanted... I was aware that the Speedway negotiated on an annual basis the use of DP and obviously the option wasn't taken up this year... This is the danger when you don't own the venue you use... Regards THJ

More chance with Sheikh Ya-leg than Sheikh Khaled. Unless the Comets can get a Promoter with the available funds and the vision; who can stir up a bit of passion and engage with the council then unfortunately it will never happen. Or the other option is you get someone to run an operation on a shoe string but then you do not attract the fans and it is a total "Catch 22" situation because the standards drop so low and the product is just something that no one wants to watch thus not attracting fans to fund your operation. Money talks; But it don't sing and dance; And it don't walk " (that song will be in ya head all day now) but you need people in Jeans for that (blue ones apparently) and fans through the doors are a critical factor and I agree Keith Denham is the entrepreneurial type who could make a success of something like this but again its a big ask of someone who has been there and done it; but struggled with it; then ultimately walked away from it at the end of the day and for what thanks? Oh for Mr Denham now eh! all those Grumbletonians who slagged him off remorselessly!!! bitched about him at every opportunity even down to having a go at his family!!! Oh for KD back now eh!!! come home to roost that one like eh? Again the Thomas Armstrong Motor Park and Xtreme Entertainment Speedway Stadium definitely has a ring to it, although may be not when you look at the acronym. The TAMPAXESS Arena doesn't sound a very nice place to be!!! Sorry!!! So we will go back to your suggestion eh? The Thomas Armstrong Speedway Stadium sounds good to me now!!! Doh!!! Going down the TASS to watch some Speedway!!! yep we will stick with that... Joking apart what is there in it for a business like Thomas Armstrong, the first thing they will look at is "what's the return for our shareholders", also it isn't really one of their core business footprints either, they would be happy to build it but I think running it would be alien to them. Now the Malhotra Group PLC or a company of that ilk taking over the Northside Site and sticking on a Motor Park with a Hotel and putting on car showrooms and may be a care home utilising a multi occupancy and multi use site could do something like this however it has to get out there and the vision has to be sold to companies like this... So Mr SS a small 4000 all seat covered in stadium costs about £6 million; regeneration of site; Hotel (Casino maybe) Several Car Show Rooms to Rent out Older Persons Village with Care Homes and Support another £4 Million; so you win somewhere round that on the Lottery and I will come in Develop; Build and Manage the whole set up for you and the combined returns will be colossal... and more importantly fund your hobby of having a Speedway team... However there is an Aerosmith song that fits the bill here; bit depressing but the lyrics ring true Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life Is books, written pages Live and learn from fools and From sages You know it's true, oh All these feelings come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on until your dream come true DREAM ON big boy because if we didn't have dreams then what would we have. (now I must get some work done; tea break is over and I must get back on my head) Regards THJ

So just being your usual self "you didn't" and from my edit above will you be the 1st fan of the Jacob Bukhave Fan Club as there is a vacancy below the ruffdiamond name "to be confirmed"? Got to now really after saying he was Poop then doing the suck up post following... Regards THJ
