Could do a job at reserve although I think Newcastle's main concerns are further up the riding order i.e a number 1. I disagree as long as Newcastle can get an 8+ guest, they should stick with that! Can't see anyone out there to come in at number 1. Bigger priority in my view is getting a stronger number 7! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June01 270 Posted April 21, 2022 Can someone who was at this meeting confirm if Congreve replaced Starke after his 2 min exclusion in heat 9 please? I have conflicting information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a decent young man, he's attracted lots of sponsors because he puts in the effort and clearly appreciates the support he has been given. He's also a brilliant young prospect with loads of ability. If he stays injury free, I'd say the sky's the limit and he'll ultimately make the GPs. I see that 'allthegearbutnaeidea' felt that my post deserved a 'haha'. Hopefully, you were at Ashfield last night, enjoyed proper speedway and admired the skills and confidence of a brilliant young prospect Connor Bailey.

It is shown as such on the official referees score chart on the BSPL website. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/22results/glasgow_15.04.22_res.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,020 Posted March 15, 2023 Watching the stream now. A few of the Newcastle guys gave it a bit of a go, but on the whole the team looked terrible & you can certainly see how they didn't finish the season. As a neutral it was good any time a Newcastle rider made the start & any non 5-1 result felt like a heat advantage for Newcastle! The commentators do need to learn what team riding is thigh, riding flat out & passing your partner up the inside, isn't team riding lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
