robbieblackadder fan club 145 Posted December 10, 2019 Personally I think it’s a good start considering how late we are, I remember seeing James around brough once and I said that I thought he would go far, I haven’t been for a while due to family reasons but looking at the side and the potential for the last 2 I think it might be time to return 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think with the last two riders getting announced at the xmas do I've a feeling both will be there and with their connections to stay over in Newcastle. Just my guess. Given Rene connections to the north east I hope it’s him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's alway one isn't there ffs the teams coming together nicely why not just get behind the new owner and enjoy the season like the rest of us are doing or just keep your negativey to yourself 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This forum is about opinions, you have yours Dave, I've said mine. I've ' supported ' a number of new promotions over the years and not decryed anything but my pension will be spent wisely. I'll be there at the start as I may get a surprise, let's hope so . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the team on paper looked good this season. & Apart from the 2 returnees we were poor .. so let's all give young rob a million % backing on this season ahead or if we do ever run into trouble cash wise that could spell the end of speedway at Newcastle si let's be positive on next season as we are racing again happy days ahead Edited December 10, 2019 by pienpeesman Mistake 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having not ridden in the majority of heat 13 and 15's last season whilst third heatleader for Glasgow, Vissing will now be in both heats week in week out. Who knows he might have still averaged above 8 had he rode in those heats last season so he might retain his average but he'll have to defeat better riders to do so now he's our #1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted December 10, 2019 I'm sure Newcastle have had Wrights average comfirmed already ,as the final two riders will already be sorted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringitsneck 348 Posted December 10, 2019 Having listened to most of you moaning on the terraces last season , those that still attended each week, you now all want to back the new promotion, which is great but I have an opinion and I've said it. The crowd will be good at the first few matches and, if we sign two good riders more, then I hope it stays that way. All I'm saying is I think we need the final two signings to be strong ones, but you can all have a go at me for having that opinion. Having attended since the Olsen days I think I've given the club plenty of support over the years , thank you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Normski 1,316 Posted December 10, 2019 Really pleased Newcastle are coming to the tapes for 2020. I know what it was like last year for us Bandits fans wondering if we would be seeing speedway in 2019, it's not a nice situation to be in. Your team is now taking shape and with over 12pts to play with for last 2 places a decent looking team is shaping up. Good luck to Granty nice to see another young promoter in place. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
