    Max Clegg obviously read my comments & decided to prove me wrong. Well done Max. Hopefully he will collect a winners flag on Sunday.

    Max don’t read this but I do know he wouldn’t give 2 s***s what you think anyway.anyone that knows max knows he and his family put 100% into it.hopefully things are starting to go right for them now on..

    I don't want to put anyone down, I'm sure the guy is doing his best. But, Max Clegg isn't the man for the job at Leicester.

    I'm afraid he isn't good enough for this league. When it comes to the playoffs we are really going to get caught out at reserve, especially away from home. 

    Hope I'm proved wrong. 

    Max has had an awful season so far which has affected his performance.He has has 2 engine blow ups,1 which has gone in the bin,He has had an awful lot of bike problems and when your riding once a week or even 2 weeks it’s hard to fix these problems.Then the problem with Newcastle closing hasn’t helped him at all.After the Redcar meeting he took both engines out and had a few alterations made and rebuilt through the night to get them built back up for Leicester Saturday.(which didn’t go well either).since then he has made a lot of changes to both engines and the bikes at vast expense and has been testing them at Leicester 3 times since to try get things back on track.just needed to post this as I’ve been a follower of max since he was a little kid on grasstrack and a long time family friend,to let you all know how hard they are working to get things right again.no one more than max wants to get back to scoring points.maybe give him some support rather than slating him at every chance(Lenny).Thank you for all that has sent him positive messages.

    best of luck to max & Leicester for the rest of the season.

    Now the track has been 'fixed' we shall see. but on the evidence of the meeting against Redcar (fastest times of the season), suggests that is exactly what they have managed to do.

    They did a cracking job Steve,however they will not be doing the track every meeting I’m just saying that the clowns that usually do the track will ruin it again,

    Where would Complin fit in if Jack Smith is in the Team,would he still be the other reserve.

    No get rid of them both,put max and James at 6&7 then start again.no idea where these riders are going to come from though.I’m guessing matty will be out for a while,god knows what’s happening with starkey,and no number 1.so may as well build a new team .as before I’ve no clue where there going to come from.just my opinion on what granty will have to do to keep the few fans that are left coming on a Sunday.

    The only reason this change would make sense is swapping a 4.00 rider for a 2.00 rider to give us more points to play with at the top end... But if that change isn't made within the next week or so then what the hell was the point in that... Jack's no better than George...

    1    
    2 Matthew Wethers 5.52
    3    
    4 Max Clegg 5.39
    5 Paul Starke 6.27
    6 James Wright 5.06
    7 Jack Smith 2.00
                                               Total: 24.24
                                                     Left: 17.76

    Unless Granty and the promotion can pull a couple of 8 pointers out of thin air or a 10 pointer (A Bjerre type) and a 7 pointer (Ludde or something) then the change was a waste of time...

    Plus Matty is now out injured long term isn't he? So even if we did bring in some riders, we've only got a 6 man team still...

    I genuinely have never been this uninterested in speedway in the 20 or so years I've been watching it... This club is dead

    Personally I would get rid of Complin now,stick max & James at reserve then try congure up a few riders from somewhere on the planet  to back up starkey and matty (when he’s fit).most meetings these days are win by the no 6&7.

    Granty really is trying to kill Newcastle speedway.a crap team , a crap track, or it will be again soon when the track team get there tractors on it ….wonder what odds granty got that they wouldn’t finish the season.?

    .got to feel for the supporters that do all the fund raising for the club,all the hard work the volunteers do and for the riders that actually want to ride for the diamonds(max,wrighty,matty).Best of luck to George .

    There is 0% chance of Adam coming in to replace George unless more changes are made to the 1-7.

    Its an interesting position we find ourselves in given we have fixtures on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this week. If we are to replace someone in our declared line up it would need BSP approval so can’t see many chances to do so this week, unless the outgoing rider is happy to race despite being moved on. In my view if we don’t get an announcement of a change tomorrow then we will most likely have to wait a little longer for a change to the side than the statement from Rob suggested. 
     

    Fingers crossed the promotions hard work pays off and we do manage to strengthen the side before this weekend.

    There is 0 chance off Adam returning full stop…he’s said he wouldn’t ride for granty ever again,hence why he didn’t come back this year..

    Obviously to have the best track in the country you need zero dirt and only concrete lines... That chew through tyres in no time... Personally the best racetrack I've been to in this country (I haven't been to them all) is Redcar, by a long way too...

    You forgot to mention the air fence that doesn’t do it’s job(ask joe Alcock)…

    Poole have chosen a team where their top 3 could be number ones in most other Championship teams. A big gamble with the pressure put on your other 4 riders to up their game/averages. 

    Your top 3 are unlikely to improve so to be successful it's the other 4 that have to improve!............ No pressure then.

    Newcastle’s top3 could also be no1’s,  but in the national league !!
