regarding this common knowledge about Jason coming over because of seth, yes it was common knowledge but what is also FACT as geoffs likes to tell people is that Jason himself said that seth is not coming over but is staying in Australia as he had 1 more year left in school obviously at the time of the interview he was not aloowed to say that seth is riding in the championship as seths team hadn't announced it yet so Geoff please shut up for once

all they need now is Viagra to sponsor them

the team will do 3 grand a season on radian b and ibuleve

I think everyone’s unsure what they are capable of but the general consensus is it’s not bad and as someone said it’s a lot better than last year.

Amazing, Diamonds only 10 pages behind Poole on the forum. Shows plenty to debate in the NE while silence has descended on the Dorset coast.

Is it not the case that a lot of young British riders do not get a chance because of the senior British riders moaning that they can’t make the sport pay unless the ride in both leagues.Some would ride in all 3 if they were allowed.

The rules don’t let riders do the NL and NT for separate teams though. That’s why Flint has left Newcastle.

It does have the feeling of building a team bu chucking a few riders in then attempting to plug the gaps rather than a thought out approach? I think Verge is based on IOW now so makes the travelling impractical, Harris was never keen on the journeys to Kent so cannot see his crew heading North. Shame really as the venture could struggle unless one of the Newcastle riders wants a few extra rides or miles on their van.

Can they recover from bumps and bruises may be the bigger question. It does have a dad army feel to it for sure and there's a few risks in there but it's better than what we started with last season

I have no problem with this team. Possibly average age may be a concern , but in most cases they are capable of considerable improvement on last season.

Nicholls 41 Andersen 39 Ostergarrd 38 Iversen 37 Harris 37 Some experience that! That has to be a concern for me. People saying some of these are on bargain averages, but at this stage of their careers they’re going to be very inconsistent. Not sure about this team TBH. Wouldn’t be surprised if it made the play offs or had a stinker of a season. I’m on the fence.

Would guess money comes into it . Surprised panthers haven’t got uk gold as main sponsors they broadcast repeat after repeat. But I guess you could could argue that some of the old ones are the best

haha no, you're ok

he was busy designing one of the most aggressive and unpleasant posters on here - he did a good job, the bloke has zero manners

I mean getting hammered every week isn’t exactly going to help confidence no matter what league.

no, i don't believe he was signed by anyone

Whilst I'm pleased for Ronnie, I find it very sad that he had to raise money in this way. He risked his life to earn that medal, how many of us would have been brave enough to tackle a gunman who turned out to be a nutter? The gunman had already shown he wasn't afraid to use the gun, and yet Ronnie waded in with nothing but his fists to stop him. He will always have the greatest respect from me for that action.

Well done Was it hidden within season ticket application info? It is there now but from memory (& I'm happy to be corrected) there was no 2020 admission details page when the season ticket application first came out or any mention of the parking concession removal on the season ticket application form which is where the link went direct to first off. In fact, even now, there is still no reason to click the "Disabled Parking (Inside the Showground) link because the facility hasn't changed for at least 15 years so why would it now? Usually it creates a stink if the EoES removes the concession and disabled fans wouldn't expect their club to do it. If someone with a BB drove in during 2019 and bought an early season ticket expecting the same in 2020 then they'll be in for a shock. I can't even remember how I stumbled across the BB concession removal. Just by chance when surfing the club site I think.

PoBandzie publish some excellent articles and interviews. It's much less tabloid'y which is great in the era of a complete decline of SportoweFakty's journalism quality.

Pics off Facebook:

As long as the line up contains racers rather than riders , there is no need for an abundance of top class riders. the track will allow the racers to shine and produce good racing. We are so lucky to have a superb track in a modern stadium

Newcastle should not get a vote for three years . The Stoke promoter was in the NL , that won't count for Championship issues but then who knows what they will allow these days as your not supposed to be a promoter at more than one track , but that one got overlooked if your on the committee! . Newcastle are the only Sunday track in the division.

Yep I'm looking into piggy bank to find funds to support all the northern teams and gp at Cardiff and Warsaw, still a speedway fan but no home team !!!

Of course but it is not the way speedway fans want it IMHO.

That would be terrible change.
