Anyone else have mild dyslexia whilst reading the circus name? Not sure that's true in relation to Newcastle. Yes we have pollution problems, but it has been pointed out to Newcastle Council that that the tolls don't do anything to stop the pollution in the first instance so the clear air problem would still be with us. Being a Labour led Council, and always moaning about government cuts, it's likely that the council see it as a money spinner to get more money in their coffers. Liverpool and Newcastle are probably the hardest hit of the larger councils with the cuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the 2012 Premier League result then? Fun fact, 2012 was the first year I started watching Newcastle, and the fact we could finish top but still not win the league baffled me... I also said whichever team finished bottom of the league that year, I would also follow... Hence the Plymouth connection Plus I have family not too far away from Plymouth also... How exciting and interesting... It's too hot Edited July 23, 2019 by Dandelion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Ash is still injured for a while by the sounds of it Would DEFINITELY have him back for 2020 though I wanna know who this exciting rider who's going to be at Sheffield Roy mentioned will be...
