Well done Frankie, what a legend!
-
Well done to the Hornets, thoroughly enjoyed this meeting. Some very good racing. These Hornets boys seem to be punching above their weight at the moment with wins over Hackney and Mildenhall recently.
-
Just had a call from Steve Mallett from the stadium. The meeting is definately on and the track looks perfect.
-
Some very talented riders on show today, good meeting and those 40+ heats were well pushed through. Very enjoyable to go over and watch the youngsters of the future making their way in the sport.

I can see that Diesel has posted the names announced today for the New Year Classic. However, thought it deserved it's own thread.
So names announced so far are
Leigh Lanham
Kevin Doolan
Lewis Bridger
David Howe
Steve Boxall

I always enjoyed watching Marc when he rode for the Hornets last year he is a real young talent. Lets hope next season is much better for him injury wise than this and that he has a swift recovery.
-
I guess its well done to the Hornets, but first of all I hope that both the lads are alright.
-
I'm sure Streety has some kind of recognition in Australia for his services to Speedway.
How many Aussies can you get in a Speedway meeting

James did do really well today he rode his guts out. The Hornets with just the 5 riders fended off the Weymouth team really well after they took an 8-1 in a tactical ride off us too.
A bit of a coming together on the 3/4th turn for Kyle Newman who seemed to lock up and collected Tom Young who came off worst in the spill. Kyle looked ok up and about however Tom was taken off to hospital with possible rib injuries.
So a good win for the Hornets who could quite easily of lost heart losing two riders, it goes to show great character in the team that they went on to win so well.

Heat 13 was a farce. Called back because Hughes made a roller, but then allowed to continue the second time despite him even more obviously jumping the start (along with Allott).
Agreed, the ref had been pulling the riders back everytime they tried to anticipate the start and even disqualified James White Williams for him doing it twice in one heat (sure he didn't touch the tapes second time). So for the ref to allow a really obvious jump of the tapes by Kyle Hughes was very surprising.
-
Well done the Hornets, good meeting tonight with some good racing too. Probably the hardest meeting the Hornets have ridden, however they suffered quite a few mechanical gremlins. In the end Mark Jones and Tony Atkin were much too good for the Cobras.
-
Sorry nothing to do with me I just had a phone call to say that they have another two riders added to the line up. Kennett and Wilson.
-
Ben Wilson and Edward Kennett are added to the line up.

Can't see anything in todays programme.

The Waspies forum is an unofficial forum set up for the use of the fans who love the Wasps its intention was never to rival any other forum as it is a members only forum, therefore aimed at people who really want to know what the fans think about their team, mainly Newport fans who are already there on a Sunday. However there are quite a few people who prefer to post on there than on here because it is generally posted in a light hearted fashion and people like playing with the emoticons.
As someone posted on there the official business should be posted by the press officier in the appropriate places. I would think that telling people what to do does not come across well. And it is far more advisable to let supporters post where they like.
And just to make it quite clear THE NEWPORT SUPPORTERS LOVE THE HORNETS!!!!!
-
A few names have been released Ty Proctor, David Howe, Ryan Fisher, Craig Watson, Leigh Lanham, Kyle Legault are the ones I can remember more to be released soon I guess.
-
I know Tanya --hence the winks and smily faces!! Press Release due out --and another postive one!!No point having winks and smileys get the news out there, so many positives to report when all we have heard is negativity lately mainly aimed at the loyal supporters of Newport.
-
It's not a rumour I've just been over there and seen the guys putting them in!
-
Everything the commentators say on the broadcasts the average fan knows about all the riders so it becomes very tedious when it is repeatedly mentioned. I'd rather hear things that aren't common knowledge, its always good to get the riders aspect on the racing/mehcanical side.
How about giving us a fans zone option for an alternative?
-
There is a large screen available in the bar so I'm sure showing the football would not be a problem. Although choice between speedway or football...no contest speedway every time.
-
Newports best National League team in a long time and they aren't there it just doesnt make sense. Not very often any team at Newport gets an opportunity to win a trophy.
-
Seems a surprising move but we'll look after him at Newport, we thought the world of his brother too and lets hope he has a really successful season.
-
I'm snowed in the house and out of work, thats the problem when you work in a school

How many tracks would be able to have full access to the track weeks before the meeting to get it prepared. The Newport track preparation went on for weeks because of the weather situation. At least with Newport they have full access to the track whereas others would not? Would tracks that depend on renting the facilities still have the same access as Newport have?
