That might be difficult, seeing as September only has 30 days in it.

Most of the Redcar riders said the track was brilliant on Sunday although I do accept Edinburgh seemed to cope with the really deep conditions better.

Yeah as 2 of them broke the TRACK RECORD Pickering just loves the dirt line everywhere he goes proper rider

From the first lot of pictures posted of the work it didn't look like they had dug it out.

If it has hopefully been dug out I guess someone will be clocking up a good few laps in a heavy vehicle ensuring the surface is well packed down?

Have you any proof of the pictures as all I can find are the finished ones?

Honestly 

Probably best off posting this here as it is the Geordie faithful who need inspired... 

Not been to any meetings (anywhere) this season (so no idea) however even though it is difficult bringing in riders the following are not new to the league and would potentially improve the team IMHO. That is if they aren't injured and don't have serious Polish commitments; KKH is in the same team as Tero so maybe he is available to do the UK 2nd tier which I don't think the Pole's recognise as a serious league? (will stand corrected) and the two Swedes both have previous with Newcastle. Just depends on how serious the promotion are to be fair in wanting a change

Any Takers

Luke Becker 11.58
Norick Blodorn Poss 4.00 or 5.00 Ass (as still an assessed rider in the top league)
Victor Palovaara 6.25
Ludvig Lindgren 6.47
Kenneth Hansen 6.74
Smetana and Skorja Ass 5's

Drop 1; 6 and 7 for 19.76 points including left-overs

Bring in Hansen Palovaara and Lindgren for 19.46

NEWCASTLE

1) Kenneth Hansen 6.74

2)  Matthew Wethers 5.52

3) Ludvig Lindgren 6.47

4) Victor Palovaara 6.25

5) Paul Starke 6.27

6) Max Clegg 5.26

7) James Wright 5.06

Current Total 41.56

Remaining Points 0.44

Team Total 42

This pushes both Clegg and Wright back into reserve giving genuine strength in depth

The figures need checking out but where there is a will (an all that) there is a way. Potentially a bit more expensive with flights and the like but what do the powers that be do? Keep on ploughing ahead under the current situation? New team manager has been mentioned; paying riders as per contract and without delay may or may not be an issue; get some spirit back in the camp!!! can they or will they just roll on under the current circumstances. As an interested bystander it will be very interesting to see what transpires...
