If Newcastle speedway is about to be under new ownership for 2020 then i hope George English and the English family get the credit they deserve for their time and efforts over the years.

Do some research...

Yet another season has drawn to a close, and once again Crazy Sue and her intrepid texters and updaters have come up trumps again. So thanks Sue and your wonderful gang for providing such a brilliant service, we'd be lost with out you, hopefully more of the same again next year You really are appreciated

So do I, as Newcastle speedway has always been a favourite place to visit for me over the years.

I wish this was on the Newcastle thread. Arguably the greatest rider to have ridden for the diamonds in the last 30 years (alongside his name sake). i get the feeling you don’t speak for the Poole faithful, but welcome to the championship. i find it laughable that you ridicule bjarne, yet Klindt now feels your club is below him

Nor next season apparently Oh well - at least we have the league cup to display as champions next season.

When Poole claimed to be the Manchester United of Speedway they were only about 10 miles out. It turns out that the skint Pirates are the Bury FC of Speedway.

All within the rules, my dear boy.

What like a couple of mid season signings to take you from also rans to champions! Oh hang on a minute isn't that what Swindon did?

Isn’t Poole Newman getting on a bit now?

I’d have Tobi as well if he wants to ride in Britain.

I am not too bothered what the limit is. I just hope they don't make the stupid decision to increase the points limit halfway through the season as they did this year. For example it turned a very average Redcar side into a very good side, by ditching a second string and replacing him with another out and out number 1 ( Erik Riss). There was no way they could have done that without the limit changing from 38 to 40. Fair play to them for that, but it probably cost Berwick (who were over the 40 point limit) a place in the play-offs.

They are definitely not a Poole fan! Wolves I think. I think the other fans are already missing Poole as they keep gravitating towards our thread on CL section! Edit - tbh I get the feeling Klindt is a bit annoyed as they didn't give him a heads up as he questioned it when there were rumours but was told not moving down (I gather this was before the season finished).

Peterborough fans should be more cautious from now on and not buy one until they know the seven riders who will actually be riding at the first meeting.

I hated that rule when it ruled out M Zager coming back to us, still hate it now and I hope You lot can keep both Doyle and Batch.

Well that’s exactly the point I think he’s making. That team was then taken apart by Keith Chapman who will again be setting the budget for the coming season. I’d have the same fears too tbh.

So their assets are Frozen??

Let's make it more interesting, and must have a 50 or over at 7

Let it go

A service that many of us have come to take for granted. Which is all wrong, of course. We have to remember the time, effort and cost of bringing us heat by heat results of virtually every meeting held. Forget the pale imitations on Twitter etc. This is the most comprehensive results service anywhere. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Bring back Ged and Neil. We had a duo who actually cared about Panthers

only a mug would have kennett over Lawson, kennett gets the ass too easily away and disappears without trace after 3 rides away whilst Lawson is solid dependable and extremely consistent.

Speedway rider's getting even younger?

Not sure if this is the right section to post this in but if not, I'm sure an Admin will move it to the correct place. For any Chris Harris fans out there, the following has just been posted on the Somerset Website http://www.somerset-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2612....... BID FOR BOMBER ARTWORK Although the 2019 skipper Chris Harris has been snapped up by Birmingham for 2020, Rebels’ fans have the opportunity to secure a wonderful one-off piece of memorabilia featuring the Bomber in Rebels colours.The club has been donated a splendid signed painting by Mel Affleck to raise funds for the excellent SREF (Somerset Riders’ Equipment Fund).The artwork will be placed on Ebay for auction. Painted on a cradled panel, 70cm wide by 50cm high with painted and varnished edgings, the painting has been done in acrylics, and based on a photograph provided by club photographer Colin Burnett, can be hung as it is.SREF organiser Di Phillips said “it is a truly wonderful painting that has clearly taken a great deal of time and attention and we are grateful to Mel for donating it to us. Chris may not be back in Somerset’s colours next season but he gave us many enjoyable moments during his year as a Rebel and this will make an ideal very special Christmas present as it is a one-off. Of course bidding is not restricted to just Somerset fans, it would look fabulous on the wall of any Chris Harris fan and we all know there are hundreds of those around.” CHRIS HARRIS PAINTING - AUCTION NOW LIVE Mel Affleck's superb painting has now been listed on ebay for auction.

Best race results and comments you can get for UK speedway. A Big Thank You. Do you request any donations? If so please advise how to do it safely.

No... you know fine well he has signed for Poole... Not only will he not be at Newcastle I doubt if anyone else will be either Regards THJ

Will number 1 Steve Worrall still be leading the charge at Newcastle in 2020?

Yep, you’ve not guessed the half of it yet. Wait til their mid season shenanigans start.

SEC final dates very likely first to be released in January during their Gala event. The rest should come soon. To be confirmed by BSI ...

Wolves were already the track within the quickest journey time from Swindon.. ..by a whole minute (1 hr 48m vs 1hr 49m at the time of googling!)

As with most signings at every club it'll come down to numbers, the deal and permissions.

Why? Not even seen any team names yet!

If GED is taking over then Newcastle will be in good hands. hope the rumours are correct .

He couldn’t wait to get out of speedway promotion,All his ideas to take speedway forward we’re shot down by the powers that be ,nothing has changed there so why try again ...

Is that 50k over 5 years ie £10k per club per season?

What just any U21? If so last year Kings Lynn could've effectively built to 50 points with GP rider Robert Lambert at 7 .... Is that really what you want?

Of course. We like our away wins.

The calendar meeting was yesterday.

I think we should have a u21 at 7 & then a team limit or 42.5 for the remaining 6 riders

Doyley, Razza, Ellis, perks are the 4 I’d go with

I’ve now decided that Poole should stay up, allow you guys to race Wednesday. The league is better for it.

You don't stop, do you? And you reckon others have too much spare time? You asked questions, and as rhetorical as they may have seemed to you, somebody was able to provide actual - and factual - answers. Answers that didn't coincide with your opinions, but were 100% factual and truthful all the same.

Congratulations to Dan who today, in his first ever meeting in Australia, won the Jack Young Trophy. Kyle Bickley was third.

That's fine. A response like that totally negates any perceived value your input on this forum may have had...

Or get laid

He made himself very unpopular at Birmingham by not trying!

B*yawn*e was never exciting. His gating was more than decent & he was fast enough to be an effective chicane against any rider. He was a reliable above average second heat leader at most in Britain ten years ago. I doubt he got that far up the Ekstraliga & Eliteserin ladder. He wouldn't put my bum on any seat. Poole look back, last time he rode over here he was feigning iinjury so you could use Tungate as a guest!!
