I reckon with Steve or Richie in that that team it could be over the points limit (especially when I think they are going to reduce the limit by at least a point for next season) although with the 2.5% might be ok (haven't checked!). IF Tero continues in Poland I doubt he will be back and I think you can forget Rene Bach too.

Hence "perhaps" and "(hopefully)".

Now edited as I just have done! LOL!

The draw was the draw and we made the most of it. We are cup finalists, so should make the most of it. Granted, League form has been disappointing and, as I told Martin Phillips in the pits last night, I expected a lot better from this team and so did he. Perhaps (and hopefully) lessons have been learned.

I think (although not entirely sure) the idea might have been that we would have decent chances away from home and hoped the riders not used to Brough, would do so in time. Sadly, that clearly hasn't worked out. The idea of the lower CL average at the start of the season was to try and get back to the days gone-by when the top flight was just that and the CL was the next level down. Perhaps there has to be an even bigger difference in the averages between the two leagues to achieve that?

You clearly haven't been watching Max regularly at Brough Park this season. Last night he took a heck of a knock in heat 2, so you'd be a bit slower than normal for the rest of the night after that. Max has been one of the few shining lights so far this season. Along with Matty Wethers. Danny now scoring what he should at home now. Edwards finished second in the U-19 British Final, so has something about him.

15th Sept., I believe

Assessed (top-ish) riders are coming in on a 7pt ass ave now rather than 9.00. Does that not tell you something?

May seem a daft question, but if he's riding on a British licence how is he ineligible?

Thread started!!

We can't gate for love nor money at the moment, for some reason. Hopefully that will return for Sunday.

What's the weather like at the minute down there? Forecast not great, but might get away with it?

4 NL points for Josh Embleton at Belle Vue (guesting for Leicester) tonight. Hopefully he will pick up an NL place soon.

It's not!

Something like 28th August I think. Jensen has signed on a 28-day injury cover for Paul Starke, so hardly panic mode.

He had a new engine in on Sunday and, as far as I can gather, struggled with the set-up for it. And, yeah, up until Sunday his home average was 9.50, so really struggling.

Cradley (I think), as he signed for Dudley in 2013 as a full asset and I can't find that he has signed for anyone else on a full transfer since.

Roy Clarke was TM tonight, not George English.

Well done to the Gems - 2019 NJL Champions

Circus is still on (3pm start). There will be very limited parking at Brough Park for the visit of Somerset on Sunday (4th). Supporters are asked to park in the Home Bargains (formerly B&Q) car park, or on the Fosseway. Newcastle City Council have said that they're happy for us to park on the main road this week.

Many times. Manor Walk Shopping Centre, Tynemouth RNLI event, various schools, Aykley Heads (Durham Police HQ) event, and that's all in the last few months alone.

Like what? I don't know why we should be raising money for the riders, I would have thought keeping the club afloat would be more useful (that's if the Supporters Club is there to raise money for riders, which, thinking about it, I don't think it is).
