bri1966 201 Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) We appreciated his riding ability and still do and I don't recall anyone saying he wasn't any good it was all down to the amount of matches that he didn't turn up for which he now seems to have corrected . Good win for Newcastle tonight your misfortune to lose Danny Phillips to injury turned out in your favour with Shanes replacing him as I couldn't imagine Danny scoring anywhere near 8 points You deserve a drink , and if was buying it i'd make sure you ate the glass , but I take nothing away from Newcastle they were good value and deserved there win , but your repeated comments are uncalled for and are not constructive just bloody minded and vindictive.

hawks 1975 69 Posted May 14, 2017 A stonking meeting! Proper speedway as someone on TV is wont to say. And on a slicker than usual circuit due to circumstances beyond the managements control. Apart from young Coles, every rider had their moments in providing top drawer entertainment, and hopefully all those who had a look from the MCN Festival will try it again. Panthers fans/management should not panic - the shock heat 8 1-5 allied to James Shanes' eye catching guest performance - effectively won Newcastle the match, given that Steve W and Robert L were always going to score big. Simon Lambert gets some stick, but he made some excellent gates and rode his socks off in the difficult No 2 slot. Great racing. Great entertainment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike.Butler 601 Posted May 14, 2017 If racing of that quality results from the track preparation that was possible then do that every week! Superb racing from start to finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crump99 4,476 Posted May 14, 2017 points for artistic impression are only awarded in silly sports like sycronised swimming and ski jumping..... Speedway is a silly sport. That must have filtered down to Foxhole at some point? I appreciate that there aren't too many intellectuals down that way to understand speedway's current standing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondGlory 58 Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) I honestly can't believe Newcastle fans didn't think they would win..... Robert and Worrall were always going go to close to being unbeaten as you've only got Holder to beat. Rose/Morris and Lindgren isn't to dis-similar on current form to Ully/Hansen and Lambert. Shanes in at reserve for Phillips was a major bonus aswell. Newcastle always like to pick up points with too many off form riders for the Panthers. Roll on next week now We normally have bad results away from home, so it's just a case of relying on home fixtures. I don't think Phillips would have scored as much as Shanes. Both teams rode well to be honest. It was back and forth on the scorecard all night, I think heat 8 was the decider when we got a 5-1.

Crump99 4,476 Posted May 14, 2017 First agenda item for the winter sorted then Second item. I understand that top of the agenda is 4 tractors starting at tapes for a flying one lap of track grading after heats 4, 8 & 12 with the fastest tractor doing 3 victory grading laps prior to heat 15. The Ippo promotion, who put the suggestion forward following fan pressure, are apparently salivating at the prospect and are keen to stage a BSPA main event of a Top Graders tractor 16 lapper! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted May 14, 2017 I was thinking that if points are on offer then all trackmen rakers etc will need to have averages and be built to a limit to make it fair. Double the tinkering options available for some then.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panther1997 228 Posted May 14, 2017 Well Done all! Donations for Danny Phillips! The collection raised £1,360 and Rathbone has now rounded that figure up to £1,500 to support a rider who has suffered a badly broken femur and broken back in a recent track crash. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people will see things very differently to you afterall your one of the biggest wind up merchants on here and updates anyway sorry its banter to you . So Robert Lambert should of just took the abuse he got from a fan at end of ht15 yesterday or did he react to something someone said therefore he to needs to grow some balls and suck It up as well then.

bri1966 201 Posted May 14, 2017 The difference is he's putting his neck on the line for everyone s entertainment . I'm just putting silly posts to get a bite. I never offended or show violence to anyone. It's just a tonge in cheek remark after you sacked 2 riders in the interval when we kicked ya butts last season, Some people take this forum far too serious . The way speedway is going this forum will be over soon. Have a nice day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
