billybikespeedway Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wow they look brilliant, so much more atmospheric! In my opinion a proper speedway stadium needs to have floodlights, the racing looks far more exciting at night and the crowds always seem more lively. JT. Lets hope the meeting goes ahead( weather not looking to good ) and lets hope they have a Minutes Silence For Torbjorn Harrysson who Passed away This week.

kelly92 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I really hope this isnt another rain off for newports sake and for the sake of all glasgow fans travelling down! The floodlights look amazing and should attract more crowds without a doubt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis99 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Very sad news about Toby Harrysson - he was one of the best riders ever to wear a Wasps race jacket. Couldn't have been that old either - will always remember his era at Somerton Park - he was a stylish rider and a real favourite of newport supporters. Sad news.

Pinny Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 BBC Weather online states rain pretty much all day. However metcheck shows showers between 1pm and 7pm . Would hope this would be on. A must win and all 3 points for the Wasps hopefully. We need all 3 to mount a serious challenge on the top 8. We are only 7 points adrift with matches in hand on most. I would also be looking at taking all four points from Stoke on Saturday. A very unsettled team and their top rider has been replaced by a rider of Anders Mellgren standard, and thats putting it lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longlivefrankie Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 toby was one of my first idols in speedway, so spectacular to watch. his all action style is still one of the most exciting i can remember. I was 10 when i first saw him ride and he still remains one of the most exciting riders I've ever seen. his battles with briggo, mauger et al were something to behold for me then as a boy. RIP Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) the raj just posted on Facebook that he will be at newport tomorrow another busy weekend, who is he guesting for??? Looks like Lee Dicken will still be out . Could be the same Glasgow side that got that heroic draw at Somerset . Assuming Joe Screen has got over his bout of flu .

NWS Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 With Raj instead of Dicken it makes Glasgow much stronger. Although I fully expect Newport to get 3 points from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
