Has he ever done anything to prove he is?

Gating tuition from Chris Harris? Surely not

Not many were better out the gate than Anders. He had a right set of elbows on him into the first bend as well, as Phil Morris will confirm. Thats one of the things about him every one liked , all the so called dirty riders would come to Newport and he would sort them straight out. in his later years at Newport he progressed to being more than just a gater too and would often miss the gate and pick the opposition apart. Great days , the sport could do with more like him now for sure.

Think you got that wrong , Anders wiped Stoney out at Sheffield and Stoney chased him with a shovel. i remember the 1999 season anders and frank smart ended up 3&4 for newport and Anders out gated Stoney. Stoney was all over him like a rash but the minute hed of made a move, Smartey would of been through. Superb action. Always loved Anders as a Wasp fan but Stoney was awesome entertainment. i will add , in my long time as a Wasp fan, Stoney was prob the opponent i always looked forward to riding at newport as far as opponents go. Superb style , awesome rider, panto villain and a top bloke. Awesome stuff

If he is half as good as his Dad was he will be doing well , superb ambassador for the PL in its day.

Didnt Poole get peeved off cos they said they'd work around his foreign commitments? He left cos Glasgow offered a big wad of cash , and cant blame either side. Glasgow have cash to offer and want an almost certain bargain averaged rider and Basso wants as much money as poss. No problem . But don’t come on here dressing it up as something else though .

What, BV were looking at signing Adams as well as Crump?! Wasnt John Perrin the BV promoter at the time? I very much doubt he would of stumped up for Crump and Adams in the same side !

Marek Mroz and Henning Loof next?

Poole over the years have offered riders way more than anyone else to get them so its a bit of karma seeing one of their riders head elsewhere for more money! Reading some of their fans meltdowns on here has been quality.

Complin a huge risk in my opinion. Always enjoyed watching him ride and he nearly joined Newport in 2009 when the Malletts first took over but we went with Lemon instead. But he was only ever a 7 pointer in his peak and after 10 years away, getting anywhere remotely near that is going to be a huge ask to say the least. He had a 4/5 year retirement before but was a lot younger back then, being absent from his mid twenties to mid thirties and being expected to come back and score decent points seems unrealistic. That said, he was superb to watch and pure entertainment and I absolutely hope he can come back and do well. The whole make up of the Newcastle team IMO looks iffy. Is Wilson Dean really an 8 point number 1? Will the other Kiwi manage anything above 2.5/3.00?

Kemp is probably one of the most over rated British riders for a long time.

I just remember in 2002 and 2003 his league form was blistering until he had his big serious crash which completely ruined his career and turned him from a world star with a big likelihood of winning a world title into an average 6 point league rider. edit - i stand corrected. His 2002 league form dipped on his 2001 form but he went to Poole and averaged nearly 9.00 in 2003 , baring in mind that was when all the top riders raced in the uk too. He was also joint top of the gps until his nasty crash i think.

Remember that crash however think your wrong to say Dryml was never the same rider again - in 2002 and 2003 he was absolutely flying.

Bridger would of been one rider i would of despised riding for Newport. Wouldnt of ever gone to watch him.

Bombers always on a guarantee, like most of the current top UK riders. good signing for Berwick

Class to see Bjarne Pedersen bow out with another EL title, watched him so much over the years and far from a gating tart. Class rider. well done Pboro and happy retirement Bjarne

Cheerio dont let the door hit you on the way out will ya.

Yeah really thick , its held me back massively in life. Another case of daddy ellis not being able to take some stick about his son , would you like a tissue? A Brit missing a British play off meeting to ride in France is a piss take like it or not and is the reason fans continue to stop going. Since when has riding in France been a priority? seems your boy hasnt gained many new fans at Scunny with him missing vital matches, riding borrowed machinery etc … as said the worst British champ I can remember in my 20 plus years of following the sport.

Another piss take , this time from possibly Britains worst ever national champion. Lob the book at him and give him a 10 meeting ban.

I personally think its shocking how Scunthorpe have announced all this about Allen whilst he is still competing in the play offs for Redcar. Just sums up what a terrible chairman Godfrey really is.

What an absolute farce! Surely this completely defeats the object of a full league season?! When you thought the sport in the UK could sink no lower.

Just seen Harris ride against worrall and kemp on bspa website , absolute class why doesnt he ride this well all season?

Harris always seems to come alive at this time of the season… strange.

Disgraceful not even close.

Superb stuff , as said before when on song that track as well as Pboro offers just as good racing as you see in Poland. excited for the SON now shame russia are missing
