Diamonds85 699 Posted April 24, 2022 After all my talk last week, I WILL be going this week. We have a bit of spare time and money today so we can afford the trip. I just hope it's a classic meeting and we get some news about whoever Brad's replacement is??? I need to fall in love with Newcastle speedway again... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
