Did Roynon get a pay off then? Do you see my point? Speedway riders have been getting dropped for years for various reasons after signing a season long contract. Even your TEAMS have done it.

Your point being? Didn't David Moyes have a 6 year contract at Man Utd? Didn't Roynon have a contract at Sheffield? People can be sacked at any point. Not wanting to get into the rights and wrongs of Halls actions at Scunny again but if they wanted to release him from his contract i think they have a damn good reason to!

Yeah, don't recall Hall. Simple.

So good I posted it twice apparently!

Nothing to do with mechanicals. More to do with mistakes. Nothing to do with mechanicals. More to do with mistakes.

Anybody else thinking pot and kettle?

Wolbert rode well which included a great overtake. He points didn't reflect the effort put in. Pijper had his moments whilst Lemon was rubbish. Berge looks to be a find!

Jan Graverson had the honour of popping the first bit of bouncy castle last week. Yeah he was poor at Redcar.

Big home win for the Geordies against a very poor looking Redcar style. Hope they have repaired the Newcastle track after the winter alterations.

Just google it. Far easier than relying on someone else to guide you.

neither did i fight at the Battle of Hastings but i know quite a bit about that as well!

Everyone loves a trier. Just needs to stay on the bike more often.

And that coming from a former Sunderland and Redcar supporter. Tut tut.

Will there be a buffet afterwards?

I must be missing something there then.

At which track is Wilkinson a specialist in your opinion?

One season then won the Australian lottery by all accounts so packed up. Never took to him personally. Too much of a Newcastle connection for me!

Hall and Skidmore always struggle on the small tight tracks so away highlights for the team will be thin on the ground. Kozza is a racer who can score points anywhere. The team balance has been upset by this situation. I expect a season of struggles im afraid!

Rune Knudsen.

He used to ride around Middlesbrough after meetings on a uni cycle wearing a monks habit. Totally forgot about that and your post just reminded me.

Will be interesting to see some Diamonds fans reactions when Richie Worrall turns right on one of their riders!

Better than Havvy? How many British and World under 21 champs and Grand Slams did Silver win compared to Havvy? Silver was also older than Havvy but chose to stay NL longer rather than step up into BL in 87 like Havvy. I agree Silver could and should have done better but was was too much of a show pony. I remember Ivan Mauger saying he wouldnt be a top class rider if he didnt tone down his riding style. Sadly he never did.

I see a few mentioned the electric hare, Daz Sumner on here. If you were only allowed to overtake on the inside could of been world class. Ha ha. Funnily enough though Daz was superb around Hackney where the outside line was so much quicker normally. Anyone know what happened to him once he retired?
