Main Man

Looks like being a non-stop time with my Newport commitments, my business and the kids to look after !!

Been talking with Dale Allitt tonight and he has one date for their leg. We are looking at when the two legs can be held closely together ..so hopefully sorted asap.

Looks like being a busy one!!

As we well know the Newport track drains quickly and speaking with Steve just now it has not had that much rain on it and the forecasts although they differ slightly all predict a dry evening. Have just spoken with Michael Max at Glasgow and told him that it's all systems go --so spread the word in South Wales please that the meeting is on. Glasgow are without Lee Dicken (r/r) and John Branney ( Michal Rajkowksi as guest). 7.45 PARADE. Happy Hour in Bar 6-7. Kids for a Quid. Karaoke in bar after . ....and the Floodlights are officially turned on!!

R/R can't be used for a reserve.

Gino returned home last week after his 6 month stay was up --but aiming to be back in 2011

will have any moment

No dates as yet for Newport v Kings Lynn as awaiting news off Dale Allitt when he can run his leg of the Semi-Final

Just confirmed Sunday Sept 12th with Rye House.

Not this Friday Billy --but the Tenner entry will return soon. With a lot of people having re-admission tickets from last Friday it was decided to just offer Kids for a Quid this week , with Happy Hour in the Bar 6-7, Karaoke after the meeting and the Grand Floodlight turn on .

I have been asked by Steve Mallett to post the following : Tim has not been dropped from the Hornets but rested. He was injured in the clash at Kings Lynn and although early reports indicated some broken bones he luckily escaped with sprains and bruising. The club received a text off Tim informing us that he would be out of action for a few weeks. With some important fixtures up and coming it was decided to look for cover for him whilst out of action rather than rely on Rider Replacement. With the unfortunate loss of Mildenhall from the league Luke Priest became available and the club negotiated to bring him to Newport. In the meantime Tim has decided to declare himself fit to ride despite his earlier text indicating he would not be riding. Having re-declared the team the club have decided not to go back on their deal with Luke Priest and he will make his debut at home on Sunday against Weymouth. Tim Webster remains part and parcel of Newport Speedway and we hope to welcome him back into the side soon.

Behave girl --you've known me long enough!! Actually bought a few select people a drink at Wolves night!!

Basically --yes. He is riding for his own club this Friday. This fixture was arranged only last Friday and confirmed at about 5pm --with thanks going to Jayne Moss and the Hitmen for agreeing at short notice to come giving Mildenhall , who were due in a NT meeting , more time to get their situation sorted. Therefore no one knew last Friday when the riders arrived for the Newport v Rye House fixture that Adam would be back for his own club 7 days later --so commonsense prevails!!

Well done to Ash + Adam.

well done Brady Kurtz!!

Looking forward to a great meeting, a big crowd and late bar with karoke disco (!!)

.....and for those wanting some methanol action after the practice just 13 miles up the road there's the table topping Newport Hornets in action v Weymouth --start time of 7pm . Adults £9, Concessions £7, Accompanied children 5-15 £1 , Under 5's free --and with a Late Bar --all very welcome!! ..and on your way home .. Sunday at 1pm The Welsh Open Championship!!

Yes good luck to Ash --once he has got the bike sorted after some nightmare testing. Also hope that he managed to secure a back-up engine which up to Monday night when I saw him and Neil was still up in the air --can't believe that no one has stepped in to offer him the loan of one.

Just a reminder for those heading for Cardiff that the Newport WESSEX BUS Hornets take on Weymouth on Friday night with a 7pm start --with a late bar for those wishing to enjoy a pint or two of "Amber Nectar" or whatever. It's the start of a busy weekend of speedway in South Wales with the GP at Cardiff the next night rounded off by the Welsh Open Championship at Newport at 1pm on Sunday.

I know Tanya --hence the winks and smily faces!! Press Release due out --and another postive one!! quote from philcrumpisgod : So how is the club going to do that then Laurence when there are people in the close vicinity of the speedway who have no idea that it didn't all end at Somerton Park and younger ones who have no idea what it is anyway? Forget about the world (I know that was only tongue in cheek), how about concentrating on your neighbours That is what we are planning to do mate!! Lots being sorted at the moment --as they say "watch this space!"

Rumours....what rumours???!! Watch this space!!!

Unfortunately that is the way the paper does it I am afraid. Unless we can get them to change their system we are stuck with it --but we will try as we want as much press coverage as possible. There are lots of positive things happening and planned at Newport that we want the world to know about!!

Match reports for meetings are usually supplied to the Argus by Terry Daly who is a freelance reporter.

Nice one Ash!! Well done.

good luck to our two Brits --Monkeyboy and Elvis!!
