  1. The reason for the 4pm start time was because, originally, the Gems were going to be part of Double Headers. They thought 6.30pm was too late for Double Headers. When they dropped the Gems, they just kept the 4pm start time. When Glasgow are here (15 Aug) it's a 6.30pm start (NUFC at home same day), so it will be interesting to see if that effects the gate.
  2. Judging by the averages, Pijper for Gappmaier and Thomson for Etheridge. R/R for Flint.
  3. https://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.39282 Quote "EDINBURGH have released Joe Lawlor from their Rising Star position and replaced him with Luke Crang."
  4. Taken off Newcastle Speedway Supporters Club on Facebook: It will have been 18 months since our last social event, and now with restrictions lifting what better time to all get together again and enjoy a great night in each others company! Our riders will be there, our promotion will be there, and hopefully all of you will be too! We will have a talk-in with the guys who matter, giving you the chance to ask any burning questions you may have. We will hopefully also have a few flashback races, maybe some bingo, and some music and of course Grants famous catering van will be there to provide everyone with some top notch grub!! We aren't charging for this event, entry will be FREE but there will be a donation bucket going round for any contributions anybody would like to make to the club We look forward to seeing you all on 20th August, South Gosforth Social Club, 7-11pm
  5. You (well not you, obviously!!) can guest for the home side as many times as you like, you can't guest for the visiting team two weeks in a row (so the guests from Sunday gone for Redcar, can't guest for Berwick this Sunday). Dan Thompson as a guest for Matty is an interesting one. Riding at no.5 is a bit different to riding at no.7, but could be interesting. Ash Morris could be a decent shout.
  6. Berwick will be without Leon Flint (Team GB U-23 at Brokstedt). No other meetings in the UK in the Championship, but rather limited options for a guest for Matty. We can go up to 6.79. Which brings in the likes of Tom Brennan (6.09), Paul Starke (5.98) and Theo Pijper (6.55). There are others but on much lower averages.

  9. Let's hope Newcastle/the Referee is aware of it IF he is ineligible. Although it does say EFF 28/07 on the Official British Speedway website: http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c21_issue_11.pdf
  10. Dan Thompson isn't Leicester's Rising Star though, Joe T is. Does this not make a difference?
  11. Just a personal opinion, nothing against Aaron as a person, just don't think that he would be a good choice of guest, that's all.
