No, certainly not. I would never put any inside info on here. It is just my opinion. I could be totally wrong (has been known!).

Lewi loves it at Newcastle and I'd be surprised if he didn't come back, that it would be his decision, more the club not wanting him. But I would be very surprised if Lewi isn't back in 2015.

Agree with you Paul. Diamonds got Belle Vue in 1992, losing 39-51, but we had to go with R/R for Scott Norman. I think Glasgow got Reading, did they not, with Todd Wiltshire, David Mullett, Ray Morton et al? The other thing is, as to the 3 leagues all in a hat suggestion, is the arguments as to who would ride for which club, with all the doubling up/down/sideways/diagonally! It makes the whole idea a non-starter.

And how many would turn up to, say, Wolverhampton (EL) at home to Scunthorpe Stags (NL side)??

Next weekend - which is why the Supporters Club have arranged the night at the PTE Club on Mon 17th. any fans of the diamonds who want to no what went on at the agm get along to the pte club in byker on the 17th of November,, never mind watch'n the soaps come along and get the news off George and support the race night as the more fans who turn up can spread the word of the plans for 2015 which may get a few fans back to brough

Pretty sure he was in the Hungarian side that rode at Newcastle along with Nagy.

What would be any financial success be to either of the clubs in the final? Surely there wouldn't be any if it's ran on a neutral track? Who'd pay the points money/stadium rent/Refs fees/medical cover etc., etc. It might be OK for the likes of the Fours and Pairs (BSPA Events), where there a lot of teams involved, but with just 2 clubs involved it makes the League Cup idea a virtual non-starter, for me.

It's knee good......

Never stopped the Redcar fans. . I said something like this on another thread a while back. Speedway needs a kick up the backside, relaunch itself somehow, new ideas from new/different people, otherwise it will just 'plod on' and eventually die.

Agreed (sadly!)

We had 18 heats in 1993. It lasted that one season. All I'm saying is, I guess, many think we are paying too much already and it's my belief that if we went to 18 heats and they put the admission up (which they almost certainly would do) it would drive even more fans away from the sport and the sport simply can't afford that to happen.

And the first thing to happen will be the admission going up by a couple of quid or more, to pay for the extra points money that will have to be dished out.

How many times do you reckon Robbo Fell this season?

I doubt you will anything before the AGM (I could be wrong of course, just my opinion, as usual). There is a Race Night at the PTE Club scheduled for Monday 17th November, when George will outline the new rules (if any!) for the 2015 season. We might hear something then (or we might not!).

If you include Chris Mills in Newcastle's 1-7, at the end of the season we only had 2 non-Brits (Ludvig Lindgren and Simon Neilsen). At the start of the season we also had Christian Henry and Anton Rosen in the team (2 non-Brits), so a bit of swings and roundabouts! My own personal view is, at least one of the reserves should be British and possibly limit the amount of non-Brits in the 1-5.

Tom Owen, Ron Henderson, Brian Havelock, Robbie Blackadder, Joe Owen, Mike Watkin, Tim Swales. Phil Michelides came in about the time Mike Watkin was injured. *Just to add, my first match I saw at Brough was vs Stoke, Mon 14 Jul '75 (Won 44-34). I'd seen 1 meeting in 1973 and 2 meetings in 1974 at Holker Street, Barrow. Tom & Joe had ridden for Barrow and were the only reasons I wanted to go to Brough!*

Nope! First meeting at Brough for me was 1975! (I was 12!!)

Showing your age there like :-p

Sat 1st Nov (I think).

Re King's Lynn: Lewis Rose will stay at reserve, but Lewi Kerr will be in the top 5 (if either/both are retained, obviously). Re Simon Neilsen: If he "did nothing wrong" why wouldn't you want him back? I personally would like to see Lewis R and Simon N at resreve at the start of next season. Both will improve (in my opinion) next season, especially if they are starting in the 6 & 7 berths.

Yes he is. Average would prob be near (or poss over) 11.00

You'll be buying the DVD then?

If I recall correctly, he went for scans very shortly afterwards, which showed the extent of his injuries.

Aaron Summers guests for Josh G.

They were KOC matches which don't count towards the averages
