Nothing up for this away match for Tuesday coming at Plymouth however it's looking like either Jye Etheridge of Berwick or Josh Pickering of Edinburgh who are in pole position as a guest for Ben Barker

Then all change it's Kyle Howarth... 

Situation seems rather fluid at the minute...

England v Germany 17.00 at Wembley, double whammy. 

Aye... ad mentioned that in an earlier post... but av heard they are expecting to sell their ticket allocation.. not sure what time they start... 19.00 a think so if you are local you could still watch the match and get to the meeting I suppose...

A wonder how much 'big screen' hire is, could maybe kill 2 birds with 1 stone,,, surely it isn't that much, cos NTC sometimes have them at Killy Lake.

A once done one of the world cup matches at the centre for life in town watching on a big screen but there was to much beer throwing for me... 

Al have an early finish thanks an sit wid me feet up in me own front room with a few cold bottles of liquid refreshment... hopefully we can get a result in 90 minutes and it doesn't go to penalties

Can't he be programmed as Weeve Storrall? 

After all Len Silver could be Nel Revlis and be at two tracks on the same night :D .

This would enable 'Trebling Up' to be introduced. Simples!!!

Nel Revlis. You are seriously showing your age now!

Oh yes.... age is only a number!! But it's getting bigger!!!

Yep. From a fading memory, Nel Revlis was in the Sunderland proggy when I was at Sunderland v Bradford in the early seventies. I was spannering for Tony Freegard who was riding for Bradford. Dave Baugh equalled Ivan Mauger's track record in heat one. It was a small track and we had to borrow a front sprocket off Jim Ryman (Boston) who was living in Wolverhampton at the time. I was proud of driving back from Sunderland to Wolves in one go!!! Although years later I heard Matt Wethers mechanic drove St. Austell to Edinburgh in one go which eclipses my effort by far :D

In later years I drove in the States and did New Mexico to San Bernadino, Ca with fuel stops only to watch Speedway. Happy times :drink:. Nowadays it's an achievement to get up the M6 from Wolves to Belle Vue. B)

Yep another unadvertised rule change... but is that not different anyway when it is the Number 1... I could be wrong but someone will know for sure

Apparently due to the lack of riders and the Covid situation its a set aside rule now unless you are coming with your own club or some such other total load of old pony within the 7 days... I believe it is one of many "Old Rules" that have fallen by the way side...

It is not a new rule, not a covid rule but an old rule still used & is evident in my old 2015 Regulations booklet. :rolleyes:

Honestly

Think it might have changed this year IS (or been suspended) as there was a query on Newcastle using Kyle Howarth up at Edinburgh then using him again for the return leg which didn't happen (as it happens) as we went with Tero; then when Leicester were going up there and then when Leicester were coming to Newcastle then something else; then someone else; then I stopped listening because it was doing my head in... but I am sure that the upshot was (before I tuned out) that the 7 day rule was being suspended due to a shortage of riders...

As I say I may have picked up the wrong end of the stick because the conversation boiled down to stupid petty rules that only seem to apply to some clubs and not others... at the end of the day whatever Newcastle did must have been acceptable... because they did it...

I never got to Sunderland, although i did see them ride at Rye House in 1974.

No, the 8-day rule applies to all competitions.

Your in the know Neil 

What's the situation with a No1 and using Guests home and away as I was told this issue was something like away he could ride as a guest for one club then 7 days later for his own club but couldn't ride as a guest if it was the other way round; so riding for his own club first then going to the same spot 7 days later as a guest; or return as a guest for another club within 7 days hence he would be okay on the 8th day

Like  I said I just tuned out
