Walked around a lot, good voice and content with black hair. I remember he came back for a little while, while we were stuck, Newcastle's own version of the "Guest' system. He was with us though the 90's and early 00's I think. I thought he was very professional. How about Steve Hayton or did I just make that up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was very good and maybe performed this role at other events, not necessarily speedway. Again just a recollection but his Christian name may have been Steve On 10/30/2019 at 12:29 PM, Tsunami said: It was Steve. He was a Post Office person, and he left to go down to the Humberside area.

The week he came George greeted him in the programme, then the week after apologised for getting his name wrong. Either way, he was hopeless. Derek Bird that was him every race riders lined up in not gate it was Lanes he was there in 2008 when the Ben Powel incident happened when he took Kenni Larsen off! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InfinitiDiamonds 8 Posted November 3, 2019 So with names Dropping for other clubs. Who do you think are first names will be? My vote would be Max Clegg and Matthew Wethers. But for me I just hope we get news from the club soon the info from Mr English in last program. Hate to think there will be nothing till the new year.

Dandelion 775 Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Wonder whether a big name signing would spark some new interest... And with Sheffield moving up, how about a return for Danny King? 1. Danny King 8.45 2. Max Clegg 4.92 3. Ulrich Ostergaard 5.98 4. Matthew Wethers 6.92 5. Steve Worrall 7.38 6. James Sarjeant 3.90/Jacob Bukhave 4.00 7. Danny Phillips 2.17 Total: 39.72/82 (With all British riders getting 2.5% reduction, like last year and 40.00 limit like it should be at least) Edited November 3, 2019 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
