Chewbacca

The Diamonds rarely get spanked these days. A feature of the last 3 seasons has been their ability to score 40 pretty much everywhere.

Yes, looking forward to seeing the Fish again now we all have airbags. It was too scary before.

F1 cars have always been a bit effete in the noise stakes. Go and listen to a top fuel dragster for proper noise.

Good luck with your Premier Shield prediction.

Metric is much easier to understand. I'm 50 so not a kid. I was educated in both but imperial measurements are completely illogical so prefer metric, unless I'm telling someone my height at 6'5" sounds more impressive than 1.96 metres.

I've mentioned before that I'm a scientist. Even American scientisits use kg rather than a weight based on Roman soldiers testicles (or something)

I didn't know the regulation but was going to guess around 75kg based on lifting one off my mate First Bend Smiff on a regular basis many years ago

Not at Berwick there wasn't. I was pleased I'm 6'5" or I wouldn't have seen that epic Diamonds victory such were the throngs at Shielfield..

The bar?

Last time he was poor but I think he got 12 on his first visit.

Stuart Robson for me too. I like racers rather than gaters.

Ron Henderson went back to Australia to become a social worker. He was a great talent on a speedway bike, almost keeping up with the Owen brothers

In all honesty, only Tabaka from that list would be a positive for the league

Why would he do that? I've never seen him turn right on anyone else.

Jamie Robertson. One of the best passers I've ever seen. Can't believe he didn't make it big.

But he's got tattoo's and swears. It wasn't like that in the olden days

No names but any rider who is an out and out gating tart. We've all seen them. Gate first and win by 200 yards, gate last and can't get past the oppositions 17 year old no7 visiting the track for the very first time and riding a 2 valve Jawa.

South of the M62 = southerners

Nah, he was just MIddlesborough's panto villan at the time. I can't even remember why we took against him.

No point other than some promoters think any motorcycle sport fans must be knuckle dragging neanderthals.

These days? Darcy Ward Years ago, Geoff Pusey, just for the 2 hours of booing we could give him.

I'm not concerned in the slightest it just seems to go against logic that most other fans think we'll be up there too.

Strange that with most teams declared, Newcastle are by far the most below the average limit, lost last seasons #1 rider, don't have a single rider anywhere near an 8 point average and a completely untried 3 point reserve and yet most people are putting them into the playoff spots

I shall just turn up every week and enjoy the speedway
