Danish final yesterday, no excuse to miss today 

Seems strange that Vissing misses this meeting, Rene Bach rode in the same meeting as Vissing last night yet seems to have made it to Workington for their meeting with Scunthorpe.

But, whilst it's in the rules, it's going to happen.

Which shows who is committed to racing UK and who isn't. So if I was glasgow I would tell vissing to close door on way out and DONT COME BACK. 

 

As someone pointed out earlier he's done it before. Time for clubs to show him the door and never sign him.

The second day for any rain offs are in the rules so on the face of things all is above board, but the meeting wasn't rained off so IMO there is no reason why Vissing couldn't make it to Newcastle tonight, but like has already been posted Vissing has form and did the same thing to Berwick last season, thankfully Berwick had the good sense to get rid of him very soon after.

Just sums up what is crap about speedway these days. Four weeks without a meeting and Aarnio & Kus absent because they are abroad. I despair.

Was thinking the same thing. Speedway in the UK is not dying it’s virtually dead. Would never have missed a meeting back in the day, I’ve been to one meeting this season and didn’t enjoy it. Same teams, same riders week in week out. With fewer teams than ever before and a complete lack of riders I can’t see speedway continuing as a professional sport in this country much longer. Sad, but it’s been coming for a long time.

You've not had a meeting for weeks!  It could be worse, you could be a Workington fan - great team and only 2 home league matches so far this season. The problem isn't the same riders and teams week in week out but no teams/riders week in, week out. If your gonna moan at least moan about the right thing

Looking at the team Newcastle put out, the performances of some of those who did ride, and the length of time taken to run the meeting, you have to seriously worry about what the attendance will be for next Sunday when Workington are the visitors.

Aarnio & Kus were outwith the control of Newcastle , from that respect what do you expect them to do ?.

As for crowd levels its not just Newcastle they are in decline all over so why single them out, or has something else upset you.

I am not saying that anything was Newcastle's fault, nor that there isn't decline elsewhere. I am simply expressing concern for a club I like. Apologies for intruding on your domain.

Glasgow away win will be a worry  for Monarchs play off chances if Worky manage to win matches in hand,although Monarchs are still well in the race and with Team changes are looking strong.

Only asked the question to which you have replied you can only beat what is in front of you.

I am sure Newcastle will muddle through.

Have to agree the Monarchs are looking stronger , better with the points in the bag though , as i say i still think we need another away win which is a big ask.

Assuming we win our remaining home matches which is not guaranteed.
