Wow wee bit banter and all this nonsense starts (thot emoticon showed that) . I had heard in Oct (while at the golden helmet) that Ricky was going to Glasgow next season so can see why ppl think he was lowering his avg. I don't believe for a second he lowered his average but some can't accept riders move on. Glas may not offer tons of ££ but I'm sure they offer consistent payments and decent sponsorship opportunities that may not be the case at all clubs.

We are still here We are just waiting on the outcome of the AGM which must afford clubs the opportunity to have a proper speedway product which the public will continue to embrace and develop. We will update everyone shortly after the AGM

Brilliant, if Rob Grant reads this forum, he can PM me to sort my commission out lol.

If asked I certainly will be, just waiting for the phone to ring... If not I will still be in the same spot on the terraces and in the bar after the meeting... Plus I am supporting a couple of riders again this year... Regards John

Think you know full well who offered to buy the club last Xmas, and probably the amount they offered

Well it looks like they took their offer down the A1 to BP

The fact of the matter is, people would rather lose it than be forced to tolerate sub standard entertainment and lack of value for money. Why would anybody attend for the sake of it when they aren't happy with what they are watching?

I've been hoping in vain that he'd do a book on his career with him reading the audio version

Dont believe this idiot

Then edit them when they turn out to be wrong, just like it did when Batch was announced.

Only a mental age of 5.

The poster isn't'surely'. It's 'Crazy Robin'.

I take it that the 2 matches against Sheffield will see you maybe more Wolves fans boycotting the meeting,therefore denying your beloved Wolves much needed cash. At the present time, British speedway needs riders like N Pedersen more than N Pedersen needs British speedway.

I'd say it's one of the best trophies to win in Speedway. Giving something back to those that need it most within the sport. A huge congratulations to the Ipswich fans for their contribution

That’s true........ and there was no need for it, never is.

Kelvin Tatum it is

Bent Mudgaard. Name used by junior Alan Hartley who rode at Berwick I think mainly in late 60s early 70s

Sooo obvious!! Can't believe people fell for it! Well you made him go quiet anyway, or he has a ban for calling Starman 4 different names in one post!

Really....may have to get myself to Morrison’s at 10 for a paper!!!

I particularly liked the question about his goals for the season. Genius whoever asked that one!

Heard it's Jason Crump on a reduced 4 point average. My brother works at the printers of the Adver

Every time I heard him say stuff like 'I got the bugger' in his Swedish/Black Country accent I couldn't help pi$$ing myself laughing

That was a brilliant night. Same here, only one I’ve been to.

Okay here is attempt No3 and honing it down a bit and working on the premise of who is left and trying to use up all 41 points... and now I have had me Greggs for me dinner I've come up with this lot... oh and a load of crumbs on me keyboard... NEWCASTLE DIAMONDS AVE -2.50% 1 Claus Vissing 8.43 8.43 2 Max Clegg 5.05 4.93 3 Ondrej Smetana 5.00 5.00 4 Matthew Wethers 6.92 6.92 5 Nico Covatti 7.82 7.82 6 Jacob Bukhave 4.00 4.00 7 James Sarjeant 4.00 3.90 Total: 41.22 41.00 I really would like to see Covatti at Brough but that might not happen for reasons beyond our control and I only stuck Sarj in as he fitted beautifully to take the team to 41 points and again because I haven't heard him mentioned anywhere, Other names I juggled with were Todd Kurtz 5.43 Alfie Bowtell 3.10* Tom Perry 3.47* Jurica Pavlic 8.18 Rene Bach 7.19 Bradley Wilson Dean 8.75 Joel Andersson 5.62 Victor Palovaara 6.25 Hans Andersen 9.26. Just to add that as far as I am aware Newcastle don't currently have the required licences to employ Aussies or Kiwis and Pavlic and Bach will potentially be in Poland plus Hans may not fancy it and finally the * comes with a 2.5% reduction. Its a real struggle to come up with names of riders when there aren't many left out there unless the club can pull a rabbit out of the hat and bring in a big surprise name... here's hoping and Good Luck to the up and coming Rob Grant Dynasty. Starting off on the back foot a little this year but if he can build on what is there; going forward I honestly believe the club is now in safe hands... Good luck bonny lad... Regards THJ

So he should be class act

Yes but not riding for wolves crowd would drop then. that will never happen again thankfully.When riding for opposition yes as he is so toxic to wolves supporters.

Very good assessment imo, I would just add if he can go from 1 or 2 starts out of 5 to 4 out of 5, he’d quite easily go from 3rd heat leader to no.1 material in championship! No one in this league he can’t beat but it’s easier from the front!

Woffinden and Nicholls guesting at 6 and 7 for Leicester?

Good luck at Kent 'Camo' Heeps

1 guess per user name so he will have 24 in total.

THJ? Probably the most talented Swede since Lindgren & Lindback, but probably a little past his best now. Had a poor 2019 season. He was a GP rider 5ish years ago. Never really fully committed to Britain. If he has no Polish commitments & decides British Speedway for him in 2020 riding in both leagues he could be a revelation. I have my doubts.

Hans Andersen agreed deal with Swindon. Announcement next week.

Wow, a winners trophy/shield for the cabinet. Hope someone can remember where the keys to the cabinet are, if they haven't rusted away that is.

Gullible Gavan can relax now!! lol

Totally agree with you regarding Dan, end of season looking much better, & his trip to Australia banging in some very good meetings. He is a remarkable talent

I would never boycott my team over an individual rider 2006/7 paying to watch Hamill the spoon week in week out was a bit tricky, but your team is the bigger picture.

Rasmus?

Thank you so much for your continued support of the British Youth Riders, and without your support we would not be able to help and assist many of the riders. You were so kind in 2019 to supply the Young Lions with an amount of £2500. With this amount we were able to supply the following - 125 Riders: Luke Harrison Max James Max Perry Ben Trigger Freddie Fox Baron With an amount of £150 each towards their travel and accommodation to compete in the FIM European 125 Final which took place at Torun in Poland. Also each rider was supplied with 2 tyres for the event at a cost of £45 each per tyre x 10 = £450. At the end of the Youth Championship we were able to supply all the riders who competed in this year's Championship a goody bag, which included a mix of handlebar grips, chain lubrication, WD40, air filter spray, bike wash fluid, cable ties, duck tape and goggles, which came to a cost of £614. Drew Kemp and Jason Edwards competed in the European Under 19s, which meant they travelled to Germany and Czech Republic respectively, then onto Slovakia, and we were able to supply them with 2 tyres each for the Semi Final and then the Final, so 8 tyres in total, at a cost of £45 each so a total cost of £360. So currently the amount of £2174 has been spent, meaning we still have £326 remaining which will help towards the cost of paying for the pre season training camp we are planning for February 2020. Again thank so much for all your hard work and commitment to British Youth Speedway, and hopefully you can see that now getting riders to compete in Europe, we are now able to compete against the best in the World and we are now winning medals at European and World levels. 2019 Successes: FIM World Under 21 Team - Silver Medal FIM World 125 Track Racing: World Champion - Max Perry Runner Up - Luke Harrison FIM European 125cc Final: Third Place - Luke Harrison European Under 19 Semi Final Winner: Drew Kemp European Under 19 Finalists: Drew Kemp and Jason Edwards European 250cc Finalist: Sam Hagon and Sam McGurk Young Lions Management 2019 Under 21 speedway Under 19 Speedway British Youth Speedway Neil Vatcher

You can’t beat an announcement about an announcement!

No standing about in the cold either this season.

Quite the opposite going be more of us there giving the pratt more stick weve waited longtime for a rematch.

He just needs a bit more backing like better engine speed & he's capable Steve as he's proved he can beat some decent lads on his day as he did last season...Well worth a go for the 1st month or so if they don't have anything sorted 2 point wise

Your right he will be not go saying its because n Pedersen is riding, but in truth he does not go that much, to his beloved wolves what a joke.

Reckon you might see some Fridays used at Poole when it's convenient

Not the only one... Some have even ridden for us...

Brilliant fans of our brilliant club, well done everybody

Seemed to remember when Briggo went over there that it was reported that betting was a huge part of the sport. Riders, back then, were locked away in isolation for several days before meetings to avoid the possibility of race rigging.

Coty Garcia has signed for Berwick.

Bates has the potential to increase that average but you know at some point he'll get injured/do something stupid. Not sure it's worth the risk tbh

Woffinden would bring the fans back like no other.
