Good item in this weeks star featuring the Branney brothers .

Except there was no mention of a certain team who gave them their start in team speedway. Yes, Newcastle Gems and myself.

do you think that the gems and yourself deserved a mention . maybe there were more important things going on.

Just won the PL title, and opened the doors for about 10 riders from Worky, starting the careers of both Craig and John along with Willie Lawson Jamie Robertson, Ritchie Hall, Carl Shield, Kris Irving and many more. What did you ever do that was anywhere near important.

Dave, sometimes you can just do things because you want to do it, and not just to get a pat on the back ;)

On a visit to "cadburys world" in the big red bus was told they were "99s" because when the flakes were first boxed there was 99 flakes in the box and the name stuck .

Maybe they were meant to have 100 flakes in a box, but someone always ate one as they put them in???,,, (just to test them like) ;)

Unfortunately you bought the "soft soap" there Geoff as they come in Gross boxes (i.e. 144 pieces) when we done "Cadbury World" many years back with the kids we were told "it was because a Flake was made up with 99 layers of chocolate and this was an ad campaign in the 30s" and the other story we got was that "the Flake was number 99 on the order form of Cadbury's products" both of which I suspect are the same as the "99 in a box" quote... Just BS...

That's rather missing the point but Neil. As you know, my efforts with the training of Newcastle kids was always about bringing on young riders for the future with the Diamonds, as you should already know from your experience with me. It is certainly known by most people at Brough, seeing I have put my time, effort and a lot of money into kids training since our first Gems team was set up by me in 2002. It certainly doesn't deserve the sly comment about 'trying to get a pat on the back " for doing it. :(
