Changes could also be made further up the team as well. It's not just a case of replacing one rider , 2 or 3 changes or more could be made to improve the team. So frowned upon? Not if other appropriate changes are made. Edited May 7, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if there is a long queue of 7 point riders looking for a start? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only see one change worth making to strengthen the team: replacing Congreave with anyone who can average over 2.00. Can't see any likely signing that will be stronger than using guests for BWD. Certainly no one else in the team should he dropped imo. Edited May 7, 2022 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would stick with George only if it’s to give him the experience of the uk tracks for next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine those concessions are a massive part of the match day income. So either Granty is benevolent or hasn't a clue about his customer base. Or maybe the crowd just look older than they actually are after years of terrible Diamonds teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,048 Posted May 9, 2022 Taken from Facebook The Newcastle Speedway promotion, along with the sports authorities, have taken the decision to postpone our next home fixture on Sunday 22nd May against Scunthorpe. This is to allow for essential track work to be carried out. The promotion is working with BSP Limited and the Speedway Control Bureau to carry out this work. We will of course keep all of our supporters up to date with this work, and hope to have everything complete and approved in time for our next fixture against Redcar on Sunday 29th 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
