DiamondsRock Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 So is it safe to say yer all starke raving mad then? I'll buck the trend and say that he need's a little more NL experience first, but might be tempted to sign him for 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfivetoes Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 On the "big meeting" thread, I see Richie Worrall will ride in Berwick's BenFund meeting in March. Up against the big boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Richie although we at Newcastle already know how good he was/is has it all to prove on the premier leagues tracks, Lets hope the Wigan twin can bounce back from injury and get amongst the points at Berwick ha.....and every other track, what date are you talking about?

dantodan Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thats really early are you sure? Whats the lineup? If line up is good I will make the trip up to Sheilfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Thats really early are you sure? Whats the lineup? If line up is good I will make the trip up to Sheilfield Only two announced so far, Richie and Ben Barker. Expect names announced one by one and over a period of time. That's the way it's usually done. It should be a decent field, but, to be honest, people who can, should support it anyway, as it gives valuable support to injured riders.

Agreed,though Im sure the line-up that is being put together will get people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 If Jason is not able to ride for us there is one guy who might be ok as second reserve. I really don't know if he will be worth the gamble but what about Rob Grant junior? He wants to ride again and at 28 yrs of age now he may not be as wild The following appears on the Speedway GB website: - FORMER Stoke rider Rob Grant is hoping to get on the comeback trail in the National League this season. The 28-year-old has Premier League experience from his time with the Potters, who have circulated his name to other clubs after Grant expressed his wish to return to the sport. Grant said: “I’ve found my enthusiasm for speedway again and I’m fit and well and have bikes, and am raring to go. “I have no issues with getting time off work and also have transport, and feel I could do a good job for someone in the National League.” I have no idea what Granty's average would be but he may fit in the side and maybe us Geordies should help each other, I would rather have Jason King but if he cannot ride and it comes down to Granty or Starkey, I think I would go for our local lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Granty once looked good in the PL. I am not his biggest fan but I hope he has a great time in his comeback. I cannot think of any other Geordie rider. As a Geordie I hope that one day we will have a local rider to support. Robbo is a mackem Good luck Rob Grant you should do well in the NL. I am sure if you do well, the door will be left ajar at Brough. Its entirely up to you do well enough and PL clubs will want you Edited January 7, 2013 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike7164 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Are Newcastle speedway doing a 2013 calender to follow on from the 2012 one if so which riders will be in it this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current calendar runs to the end of the season, so the 2013/14 calendar will feature the 2013 league winners plus a few oldies. (I hope!)

diamond@heart Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I notice Ritchie Worrall is no longer in the Somerset Christmas Cracker (or should that be New Year Cracker!!!) and Stevie is riding instead, I assume this is because I believe he is planning on riding in NZ!!!
