According to this weeks Speedway Star 4th member of the Hornets is Richard Andrews

I believe the meeting is now next Mon Jan 10th

Appears to be a meeting at Newport Sun Jan 2nd 1pm start. Hasn't beeen named as the New Year Classic as of yet but surely it must be.

And as an extra for all us women, is there going to be another calendar like this years.

One thing if the rumours are correct, that have come from several different sources at Newport, is that the Hornets won't find themselves caught up in this mess next year. It is unlikely there will be a Hornets team.

If that is the case then the wholeNL season has been an utter waste of space and a complete farce. I have supported the Hornets all sesaon, going to both Hornets and Wasps meetings which can work out expensive with two meetings on a weekend. I don't begrudge Buxton winning if it is done in a fair way but to day that winner takes all on a home leg advantage is crazy. If there is any N; next year, here is one person who won't be paying hard earned money to see it.

After seeing the weather forecast for this week - Fri is currently dire, heavy rain. What would happen if one or both legs of this tie were to get called off as Sun is the last day of the season.

Well done to the Hornets but would have preferred meeting to go to natural conclusion. Let's hope both riders are ok, especially James. I really hope he will be ok for tomorrow, if more so if we are without Tony again.

So disappointed that this meeting has now been postponed due to riders unavailability. Hope they can still try for it to go ahead this season

Glad there has been an official announcement that this is going ahead after they announced it at Newport on Sunday. With Jason and Craig organising it, hopefully they will be able to get some top riders to take part. Neil deserves that for all his time as a rider ( watched him when he rode with Phil at Somerton Park), a manager both of the Australian team and of the time he has given to Newport and others. Hope the weather doesn't go mad as this is one meeting that can not be rained off

Was told on Sunday that he flies home on Sept 2nd or 3rd as that is when his visa runs out. I hope he comes back to Newport next year

He was interviewed on the centre green towards the end - he has concussion but otherwise looked to be ok. After the way he went down, at least it was some sort of relief to see him walk into the ambulance after a lengthy spell of treatment.

It's no consolation Tim but we at Newport can't believe what has happened. I hope you get fixed up soon and thank you for all you've done for the Hornets this season

Start time has yet to be announced

Welsh Open is tradtionally a 1pm start
