StevePark 2,783 Posted November 28, 2012 The IOM is part of Great Britain so Andrew is British but maybe not actually English. BBCs teletext (on the red button now we are digital) lumps together the news from the North East with Cumbria and the Isle of Man. I wonder if Tully is the only Manxman to ride speedway, most manxmen if they want to ride bikes will ride road racing machines to take part in the islands TT racing It will be interesting to hear if Andrew considers himself to be English or British so Abbot if you get a chance to ask him when you are doing a video/DVD please let me know. Re my Defunct Website I am not aware of any speedway on the island ask Andrew if there was any dirtrack racing on the IOM please He's the only Manxman riding speedway. Don't know of any others that have come from the Island (maybe you can start a new thread on it in Years Gone By?). I am pretty sure he classes himself as British/Scottish.

dantodan 314 Posted November 28, 2012 Hi Abbot I would like to do a piece on Andrew on my www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk website so please remember this if you get a chance to interview him. Are you happy with our 6 signings for 2013. Now that I have had a chance to think about it I am pleased and quietly confident that we can expect another season like 2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not Tweet him on Twitter? @skinnylovetully or Facebook friend him? Certainly if I'm still doing the interviews in 2013 (or if I speak to him anyway on Practice day) I will mention it to him.

dantodan 314 Posted November 28, 2012 Hi Abbott I don't go on Facebook or Twitter, maybe I will get up to date and do this but at the moment I don't use them. Bear me in mind when you get to speak to him. We have the biggest and the best club history website www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk In the meantime I will sit myself down and learn the ropes with twitter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted November 28, 2012 My crystal ball tells me it could be Steve Worrals year to impress he can gate and he rode some excellent blasts around the second bend, a sign of self confidence. I became a fan of his last year OK Richie was better but look out for the other twin in 2013. Ludvig was great at Brough in 2012, he can pass outside and inside. Just do it on other tracks Ludvig and we will be happy Stuart Robson - English/ Mackem Richie Worral - English Andrew Tully - English/IOM Christian Henry - Australian Ludvig Lindgren - Swedish Steve Worral - English Poss. Jason King - English Must be a few years ago that we had so many English lads in our side. I am happy with overseas riders but it is good to have mainly English riders for a change. It should be cheaper for the promoters in 2013 as only Mr Lindgren will be commuting Well its almost december so season 2013 is only 3.5 months till tapes up. George English has been in charge for 17 years which is the longest unbroken spell in Newcastles history. keep going George with Darryl and the others you are well appreciated Sorry I couldn't resist. :t: :drink: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry I couldn't resist. :t: :drink: Would love to have seen your face and reaction, if he had put Smoggie against Stuart's name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glasgowmicktiger 142 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Tully will do well at newcastle the team looks strong at home i think that there is room to up averages throughout the team...looking good so far. Edited November 28, 2012 by glasgowmicktiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted November 28, 2012 No; I can differentiate between them! Unlike some of the harum-scarum riders in the PL, Ludvig is a very 'comfortable' rider, and there is planning in his racing, instead of going for any available gap. I like his style. He has a chance to become as good as Fast Freddie IMO. I saw him at Brough at the back end of last season and was hugely impressed - he stepped up big time. With the possible exception of Richie Worrall, he would have been the first one I would have wanted back. A good team as long as the worralls perform like they did last season but we still haven't got an out and out no1 rider . Not having one last season didn't do a lot of harm, did it ? Its a myth that you need an all conquering number one for success - its all about balance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seedef27 107 Posted November 28, 2012 Aye, someone saw him in the shower last season and confirmed he had three legs. I think it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity mate i think it was later discovered to be Christian and that one of them was not a leg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
