Can't see a strong top three in that side!

Sounds discriminatory to me...

Why don't we all agree to disagree & enjoy the 2020 season on both levels aswell as the Njl because if it wasn't for ROB GRANT what would we be discussing now eh

Confirmed. First signing Archie Freeman: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=101074

Not sure why the Championship reserves should get injured, but even if they do, there will be plenty of riders without a team place looking for spots!

If this is the case then they have to do this for any show or event within the showground area not just the speedway , which will most likely mean a fall in attendances for all the organisations who use and pay for the rent of the showground, there shooting themselves in the foot bigtime. Must be an H&S issue again!!!!

Either way it appears a ludicrous decision. Pretty sure it will lose even more supporters. Will the riders have to park at the gate and wheel their kit in.

Cook round BV though is a fair point that was brought up. Still a shame they aren't alternating the Pairs and the WC.. A WC GB Squad for a BV final would be an interesting pick: Tai Cook Wright Lambert Bewley (U21 Res)

If you look at the number of Peterborough sponsors compared to Poole's then I would be more concerned about the Panthers. But then I guess it's more about the amount of money rather than the number of sponsors. Poole are offering 4 levels of club sponsorship - a bit like Gold Silver Bronze etc each offering different levels of publicity and branding I imagine. Maybe it's just Danny getting all his 'ducks in a row' before updating the website sponsor pecking order?

I thought Jason retired because of those bad burns that he got racing a great rider and he must put a few on the gate.Since his retirement he has done some laps testing and at a guess??? i recon he has done at least six meeting's Darcy Ward's being one of them.

1 Max Clegg 10.14 2 Joe Alcock 4.36 3 David Wallinger 3.87 4 Josh Embleton 4.83 5 James Sarjeant 7.80 6 Kelsey Dugard 3.35 7 Archie Freeman 3.00 This is the winning team though...

Which? And you forgot anticipating the start.

Maybe there's an announcement on the way?!

Theres a few ahead of Cook.. Lambert all day

Dan will be the U21

A confusing speedway regulation - who'd have thought it!

Ooh I'm so sorry forum police..I hadn't seen it mentioned..or I couldn't be bothered to sift through all the negative crap on here to find it.

Spin King bought a round...

In 1973 Rick finished on a 6.85 average for Sheffield he finished seventh in the averages behind Paulson 6.92. Larsson 7.08 what a strong one to seven they were.

It says 6 or 7 home meetings. So are they running 3 or 4 challenge meetings to supplement the NT?

I can’t believe anyone would want to see Adam Roynon back on a Speedway Bike, After every thing he has been through injury wise, I for one would be happy if he remained retired and and we will still have the memories of what a great entertainer ha was

Really pleased for Newcastle i assume that it is a trial with a view to being in the league next year Best of luck

Lambert all day long. Zero debate.

I kinda hope we go with locals rather than just the best of the best, which is what I think we will do tbh... I'd rather our second team lost with young locals who are gaining experience than won with all the big names in the NDL Jamie Halder, Josh Embleton, Joe Alcock, Kieran Douglas and Archie Freeman MUST be in the team imo... Then build the two heat leaders from there... I know Max Clegg isn't an option, but a big number 1 like him to guide the young'uns would be ideal... Maybe Wilko will hop back on a bike just for these meetings? As captain, and maybe he'll get some sort of management role within the side? Good experience for him for the future if that's the path he wants to take... Would James Wright be eligible?

Rather checking the viability of NL at Newcastle (hint - there isn’t any), I’drather believe this is an attempt to keep some promising youngsters in the North of England and get some sort of asset base built up.
