Hope it’s not wet as Mpt won’t ride like at Scunny

At what time was the meeting called off please

An exclusion should only be if a rider touches or breaks the tapes , riders will always chance it (James Sargent a prime example)but sometimes a rider makes a perfect start and is penalised for it by having a re start . Let’s make it a black and white decision with no in between

Sunny Scunny by 10

Can anyone clarify the rules please If a rider named in the starting seven in a team is injured before the season what happens If the match is a challenge / friendly I presume it can be agreed between the two teams to use a guest of similar standard ,but what happens in a proper match i.e. Championship or championship shield etc - thanks in advance

The last team to do this with a balanced team was Hull Vikings when they won the treble in 2005 I’m sure 4 or 5 riders had a spell at reserve due to the closeness of the averages

Why is the points limit a ridiculous number , take off heat 15 as it’s a 5 th ride for two riders and that means 42 pts will get you a draw so the the limit is set to 42.5 pts giving your sid a chance of winning the meeting . If your side wants to win matches you build your side as close as you can to the limit simple , so it looks like Newcastle don’t want to win matches which will then affect attendances and the vicious circle will just keep repeating

There is no way Scunny will finish that low

Typing error apologies

Newcastle with nearly 13.5 pts for two team places aren’t going to use a rider on a two point average leaving over 11 pts for a number one as they won’t be competitive . They will build with an 8 pt rider and 3.5 pt for the reserve I expect

Danny Phillips will be a great signing on a 2 pt average ,the way the side is set up he will have time to find his feet and with stevie W mentoring he will do just fine and an ex Scunny saint too

Not a panthers fan but why was the sign Scott Nichols at all costs the order of the day . He has been an exceptional speedway rider in his time there’s mmo doubting that but on a high average and his age I can’t see Scott going for the small gaps or big blasts round the outside . He will ride sensible and he won’t maintain his starting average , this then gave the panthers lower averages to play with the other 6 riders . Can see Peterborough in the bottom half of the table and how fickle there fans are can see it been a long season for the promotion

Jake Knight for me but if Clegg Is on a 2 pt average then I would take him

Anyone but Poole for me then I’ll be happy

Jake Allen will be fine he is a class act expect an improved average , I will

Pussy cats upset now playing to the same rules as every club

Ha ha ha ha that’s your plan A gone up in smoke , well done mr Godfrey that’s another you’ve got over Peterborough . It’s simple play by the same rules as the rest of the championship heard Lee Dicken and Jon Armstrong are available on proper averages

Carl Wilkinson last year I would have beat him on a bmx , he was shocking at Scunny and don’t see any improvement in him . As for Tero I liked him at Scunny always gave 100% andcsn see his average going up . The key to Newcastle is who do they get for the No 1 jacket

Yes it’s more central to the majority of the northern tracks so will be a bumper crowd weather permitting

Oh dear the pussy cat fans /promotion won’t be happy about loosing out on the Fours to Redcar . Good choice and as people have said Redcar is a fair race track . Ps I knew cos Rob Godfrey was guilty in the panthers fans eyes he would get them back ha ha as the old saying goes“ He who laughs last , laughs loudest“ get in Rob

Opening night Friday 23rd March v Monarchs in Scottish cup wit the 2 no leg the following Friday at Armadale

If as in the speedway star rob is considering Alfie Bowtell does his average fit as I thought it was to high but I don’t know his reduction to his average , thoughts anyone?

If George English lost money last year as reported I can’t see Alfie Bowtell back as I’m led to believe he’s southern based and he must be on mileage allowance as on that points average he can’t be making money . So a more local river should be used

What would Alfie Bowtell average be with reduction ,would that fit for the last spot if so I think it would be a good signing as he has visited all the tracks this season and would be better than a new 2 pt average rider
