My post was still blown completely out of context! 'like he won the race' was just an example of how much cheering the crowd gave him. If I thought it was going to be completely taken the wrong way then I would have used an emoji to empathise the point, but i really didn't think it would be. 19 minutes ago, Trackrat said: Definitely me Well, you attack me or the club and I defend myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame everyone took my post out of context! Phil The Ace has a problem with everything I say so hid isn't surprising. If I said it was sunny, he'd have a problem with that too. Edit - see that suggray and SS liked the original post so they get how I meant it! thats the way it came across read it again and will see why never mind onward and upward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in the second meeting against Plymouth he led a heat for 3 laps before overcooking it on the first bend, falling and hurting his wrist. Very, very unlucky as I am sure he would have won that heat if he had stayed on. Good for Newcastle in persevering with the lad. One for the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he would have kept Sedgmen behind him against Glasgow, but tried do dive under Bailey and came down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go every week and see for yourself,? If not, you don't have a valid argument. I go every week. Have done for nearly 50 years.... Sometimes the track is good sometimes it's bad. Just like all the tracks. Simple. This week it was a bloody dust storm but apparently Schlein didn't want it watered. Bring in Richard Lawson I say. Watering was never mentioned during the meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
