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.

Cook has been a bit subdued most of the season,( for him)

Josh McDonald must be most unlucky rider since Mitch Davey. Hope he's ok

So I have to give the management some credit for finally providing a proper factual update tonight. Well done and hopefully it continues moving forward. Welcome to the Diamonds Kyle, not the answer to the teams problems but he is certainly an upgrade in the reserve department. Fingers crossed we can secure one or two more changes in the top 5 positions.

I do wish Scott Nicholls would do a victory lap once in a while when he wins a race!

Just seen the replay defo Spud

Cheetahs look quite a tidy side now with Spud in the team

More than slight he's alot better than Jack

Oh bugger, dunno then fella, try emailing them haps, their normally fairly good at getting back to people.

Wonder who wrote that for Granty.

Is that true? If so his international career is over.

Best racing seen on television this year... from Leicester

Great website,keep up the good work.Often look it up.

Because Belle Vue chose 2 & 4 for the semi-final, and Sheffield chose 2 & 4 for the final?

Halifax had a concrete starting grid in the fifties,and I don't remember it being dug up when they reopened in 65,so maybe they laid the granite over it.When the tractor came round on the track grade,they always lifted the grader when they past over the starting grid,so could have been something still there.I also remember a concrete starting grid at the old Stoke stadium at Sun street.I am sure a material could be found that would put an end to all the ridiculous gardening that goes on,and would make all gates equal .

The only saving grace is that panthers can only strengthen with the approval and funding of your owner

Yeah that was my assumption too. But according to our esteemed TM ruml will get extra rides cause Oxford missing a rider whose injured

Every chance he will get one of the 5 picks the organisers have for the final series.

starting off wet tarmac after track watering would be somewhat exciting to say the least.

I've noticed that a few people on twitter have asked the question to Tomlinson about why the work has stopped and his response was that he didn't have an update. You would have thought someone who was so vocal about being part of saving speedway in Swindon would have wanted to see this through to the end but clearly not.

How did everyone manage with newspapers and magazines, which were full of ads on every page? Again, if you want something to be free (which I'm sure you do), then you have to put up with the ads...
