Chewbacca

So, who is #7 and does anyone have more info on Richies exploits in Hobbiton?

Don't suppose the oppo is too strong but it's more about racing fitness I guess.

You're a bit late to that party mate. We did that to death the day after we were knocked out!! Doesn't stop you being 100% correct of course.

Newcastle waiting to see if Jason King is fit

You would be welcomed back Paul. Always nice to see someone putting in as much effort as you do.

Doubt it. I think his top score at Brough is 0 from 3

Who - Jason King When - When he has been back on a bike

Scunthorpe

No GP's, no money from me

Pretty sure Jason King will be Newcastle's seventh rider if he proves his fitness before the start of the season.

Really? He is the very epitome of the gating tart

Can't believe no-one has snapped up Claes Nedermark. He was going like a train in the last 2 months of the season.

He's more British than most of our cricket team

Newcastle's hopes rest very much on the Worrall twins making good recoveries from broken legs and clicking straight back into the upward trajectory they were on before their crashes. I would say there is less risk in this Somerset team and would put them above the Diamonds.

It looks a sensible team fulk of Brits and locally based Aussies with a Sweded with whom we can share travel costs with an EL club. Just got to hope the twins broken legs haven't affected their confidence and Tully quickly gets the hang of Brough.

Pleased the twins are on board but Tully is a major gamble

Prices dropped here and Workington. A definite trend. Let's hope Wiliam Hill are sensible enough to let Newcastle drop their prices too

So far, I'm just happy that Richie and Steve haven't turned up in anyone else's team yet

These are 3 seperate leagues, not Divisions 1,2 & 3. Each league can do pretty much what it likes from a legal point of view. It might not be fair but it would not be classed as discrimination

Did Claes become a Newcastle asset? If he did, I guess that makes Lindgren the most vulnerable to being let go as he is not a Diamonds asset and I guess is fairly expensive. Much as I enjoyed watching him last season I wouldn't be too surprised if he wasn't there in 2013 and replaced with a local (Wethers living in Newcastle these days)

Can't see it. Would Wethers for Lemon work with the averages?

Simon Stead never got round Brough Park. Doubt he's going there.

A shame but not a massive surprise

He was a very good signing He just wasn't as good a rider

I'd also make the riders wear black leathers and the beer in the bar should be fourpence ha'penny. Only Morris Oxfords and Ford Anglia's should be given car parking spaces and evryone should wear a suit and tie and a bowler hat Heat wins should be celebrated with "huzzahs" and "well done old boy"
