I have never read such crap come out of a keyboard warrior as I have reading all these comments. You are all just total nasty people. Nothing Newcastle speedway does is good enough for anyone on this forum. They could be the best but they would still not be good enough for you all. If your not slagging the track it’s the management or it’s the riders or it’s the day they ride and even the volunteer staff have been called. Just pure nastiness. It’s not even freedom of speech or entitled to your opinion chat it’s just pure slagging then off for the fun of it Well I’ve had my rant and I’m sure I’ll get nasty comments back but as you all say I’m entitled to my opinion and that’s mine

I think you will find Ellis is blameless. Offered a 28 day contract which he honoured plus some. His schedule doesn’t allow for championship once all his other leagues start. he got you out of a muddle in my opinion. It was the promotion who were economical with the truth that caused the fuss.

Wow,, 2,,,,thats double the normal amount

Totally agree about the BSN stream first time I’ve used last night paid £42 for 5 meetings is great value- streaming meetings is definitely the way forward for clubs a seasons pass for our fav clubs would be a great idea - with the cost of admission and travel costs and everything else going up in price watching from home is a great option . That said can’t beat attending any sport live .

Think you’re missing the point of team sports, the danger aspect is irrelevant , speedway is and has always been a team sport on bikes not a motorcycle sport, hence bikers don’t really go to watch, speedway should be like football or rugby, it is territorial, poland is a classic example of this, the fans support their team and don’t support any other speedway except the GPs in great numbers, they are passionate about their own town/club like football over here

Its awful isn't it, what has this world become?,,, best of luck to Kyle, am sure it will do his confidence the world of good,,, securing a place in a team that no one else wants to ride for?

Where he gets big, round scores every week... Speaking of which... Look at Skorja

Kyle also, Ishould remind folk, scored an impressive 7+2on his last visit, so we know he can do it at ourplace. This made me laugh!!! Pretty much every away rider has scored well!! Mainly because the home riders are awful

Thanks. Glad you found the site of interest, Iain. Schumi and I try and keep it ticking over as best we can.

Another example of the shambolic position the sport in GB finds itself in

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, after all speedway fans and even more so, promoters and managers are such a reliable source of information

Killing team sport using my home town wolves as an example Sam masters rides for Edinburgh .Nick morris rides for Leicester. Ryan Douglas rides for Scunthorpe Steve Worral rides for Poole. Drew kemp rides for Poole .leon flint rides for Berwick, only Luke Becker rides only for wolves, right there is why team speedway has died in Britain, how is anyone new to the sport supposed to follow their club when it’s just a glorified swingers club, speedway has many other issues as why it is dying but as far as team speedway goes this has killed the team concept

Do people criticising Gary's speech know he has facial paralysis which affects his speech?

Because the track was well prepared prior to the meeting so it didn’t need it, meaning the meeting was done in 1hr and 20 minutes including a few re runs !

If it was down to me I'd make every rider do a victory lap after winning a race, it beats watching the tractor go around the track. It also amazes me how many people in the crowd don't applaud a rider when they do come round on a victory lap... they're often too busy filling their programmes in!

Seeing the form of cook tonight makes me so glad our KO Cup meeting had a chance to be rearranged!

I've got to hand it to you Discofever. You've provided more entertainment in one post than Rob Grant's Diamonds have all season.

Bit slick due to the weather that was around today. But more passing in the 2 running of heat 6 than was all night last night in the pairs!!

When i did mine i missed collage on fri nights as didnt finish till 8 pm,couldnt miss going to derwent park ,look how i ended up

Speedway is an added extra to Foxhalls owners. There's plenty of moaning from the car brigade that the shale ruins the outside track. Best thing would be for Guy Nicholls to build a new track on some land locally and stop using Foxhall.... But build it like Redcar or Somerset.... not Leicester.

Stumbled across this website: https://wwosbackup.proboards.com/ The detail is absolutely mind boggling! Must be a labour of love for somebody

I see the standard statement we are positive about riding next season has been dug out again. Zzzzz.. How about some answers to why the work has stopped etc what the local mp etc is doing etc etc. Can't wait to November after we get done over again.Dont tell me we are positive about riding in 2024 and all the riders are as keen as mustard to ride for us. .

I know,,, I've watched years and years of that rubbish,,, and I still don't have a clue why I do

The last showing on Eurosport - British Speedway's shop window - had an interview at the end of the meeting with Ipswich captain Danny King - then, in the championship round-up, had an interview with Poole captain Danny King! Explain that to a casual sport fan, whilst retaining some credibility? It's been necessary due to lack of riders but the extent of the doubling up has to end

I just had a look... From Dale, “It’s a tough one for us at the moment, but we do believe and understand that this rule will be changed for next year." Next year . Time to get ruthless.. King's Lynn Pirates

My apologies to Mr brown. Knew something we didn't. Is this same illness Jason garrity used to get when due to ride north of the border?

I should imagine the Poles noted that a couple of weeks ago NKI rode Monday England Tuesday Sweden Wednesday Denmark Thursday England and thought hello that`s Poland and 3 other NOT 2 - we are not having that !! and took action.

What’s the point in the rising star being forced to be used? Fair enough have them on stand by in case of injuries but it’s a stupid decision to have them be forced to be used. A pairs meeting… where you have to use 3 riders

Well, maybe they're still looking for 'press officer',,, or is it a case of everyone needing to be spoon fed, is it too hard to work things out yourself? It'll all come out in the wash, some folk are so demanding these days.

Once upon a time nobody got seeded. Everyone from the World Champion down started the next year from scratch. Didn’t stop Mauger winning 6, Fundin winning 5 or Briggs winning 4.

Honestly I wish I could predict the lottery numbers as easy... I would have retired years ago... Anyway Good Luck Kyle and stay safe... a trick track like Newcastle could be the making of you... Regards THJ

Don't know how anyone would prefer Congreave 0.67 (0.67) over Bickley 3.20 (4.56). While Newcastle are still the weakest team in the league, at least they're slowly getting stronger.

I feel your pain it’s like us losing on Wednesday in a match we shouldn’t have and you’ve done the same tonight annoying ain’t it.

Bachelor cynically chucked his bike on the floor there. He even looked back at the referee's box whilst he did it.

Bit of a tea time teaser for everyone I wonder if we've had more number 7's since Grant took over or home wins

he was never touched he cost his team 3 pts actually 4 pts

I think both Leagues would collapse if Bomber got injured.

I think he could be tempted later in the season maybe not now.

The rising stars should only be there to be used for tape infringements and injuries. They could always give them a couple of races against each other so at least they get some action. Only one RS scored as two were in the race. Waste of time.

To be honest the old circuit provided better racing than is seen now. But then to be honest nowhere produces consistently good racing these days.

we have to look at the riders available to GB.speedway as a whole and find a way forward, whether its 2 leagues or 1. The vital thing for next year, if they do nothing else is give NL boys a way into the second division. Yes, some will say weakening but some of those NL boys will thrive on the opportunity and put on a good show. One thing 1 league will do is give the boys twice the meetings, a chance to score well within those meetings and provide much needed variety to the crowds. Sure there'll be stragglers, 2/3 point averages but there always was. As I said in another post for every Briggs and Mauger there was a Roger Hill or a Ken Wakefield who probably only dreamed of beating the top boys.

Right there is speedway is run by the riders for the riders, we need to decide are we a team sport or are we a Motox type sport which is a competitor sport not a fan one ? We can’t carry on with this charade posing as team sport when it’s a team sport in name only

A GP rider is not allowed to be one of the 5 picks. They can i think be a round wildcard. Dudek, Bewley, Michelsen, Madsen and Piotr Pawlicki are already in it.

But he will probably be competing for a spot with Dudek, and if Smektala or Kubera qualify, and that is quite possible, then further places for Poles will be heavily oversubscribed. I'd give him one, but I don't think I have much influence over that decision.

An intact concrete starting grid still exists, at Californiz Country Park where California Poppies rode in the 1950s

BSN stream is excellent, it’s just a shame the track is utter Shyte with virtually no passing at all. Absolutely no encouragement to attend Foxhall next week and watch gate and go speedway the ref is clearly blind as well if he thought Hans fell entirely in his own

Adam Ellis now taking part in Saturday`s SEC Challenge meeting in Krsko this Saturday, he replaces the injured Janusz Kolodziej

I’ll keep quiet Lisa honest lol..

As has happened since the year dot when "5pt second strings" became the "endangered species" each season.. Decent HL's and decent reserves are shoe ins... One lad I used to know well was a master at finishing the season at a "just right" average for the following year.. A "six point man all day long" who always ended his seasons on five point something.... Never missed a season start in many, many years..

‘’On a neutral track how manytimes out of 10 would, for example, Joe Thompson on a rocket ship beat Tai Woffinden on a donkey?’’ I’m sure we all remember the Michanek v Collins k o cup run off at Belle Vue. Collins with a broken wrist so his clutch was on the throttle side and Mich jumping on Bernie Leigh’s bike as his own had gone bang. One of the best 2 man races you are likely to see!
