  1. The only time he gets remotely close to the white line is coming off bend 4, but even then he doesn't get close to BOTH wheels crossing the white line...?
  2. Since when the hell did Ben Barkers 2 wheels ever go anywhere near over the white line in heat 3??? Even that point dropped there in heat 3 gave Scunny the league point at the end of the night...
  3. Sorry. Should've worded that better. I have seen pictures of Dave. Just meant I've never seen him at the meetings before, I dunno where he usually hangs out.
  4. Was it not just Dave Tinning and the co promotors? I have no idea, never seen Dave before so I dunno. Plus I couldn't see far enough to be able to tell who them men were. Maybe it's Granty begging for extra money after blowing the 50k on Brad and George
  5. Brennan definitely touched Kyle. Was a racing move don't get me wrong, no bad intent, but the correct call was made
  6. On Brad's and George's flights... Be far cheaper bringing in European based riders...
  7. Miles better than George, even if Sedgmen isn't all that great either. Is Dany Gappmaier still racing? Most important thing would be getting James at reserve...
  8. Same here... Rob watching from the back straight miles away from the riders, rather than in the pits stirring them on... It would be hard to throw a number out, but we arrived at 10 to and our ticket numbers were in the 400s... Still think a lot of people come in for free through the pits... Even 500 fans is woeful, even for a National League side... Must admit my patience for George is running out rapidly, surely there's a better option out there... Even Justin Sedgmen would be better... At least it would put James at reserve for a month or so... And the BWD scenario is just getting silly now...
  9. Another underwhelming performance with another week of silence on BWD injury/replacement... why did I bother 75% of the rest of the crowd didn't... Well done to Jack Thomas, Dillon Ruml and Kyle Newman. All did brilliant with the last 2 in the wars. Scotty was amazing yet again also.
  10. I'm sorry. I had it in my head that we beat Redcar 46-44... But it was a draw!! Wishful thinking perhaps
  11. After all my talk last week, I WILL be going this week. We have a bit of spare time and money today so we can afford the trip. I just hope it's a classic meeting and we get some news about whoever Brad's replacement is??? I need to fall in love with Newcastle speedway again...
  12. Do they ride in this country currently??? Hmmm. Doesn't take much to leave us further below the limit, just need an average lower than Brad's 8... Hope it's a signing enough to tempt me back, boost speedway back up my priority list
  13. A name? So it's a single change then? That's gonna make us better than Berwick... Hmmm... Bartosz?? I'm either completely missing your hints, or you're not giving much away I await with baited breath... Hopefully it's announced tomorrow???
  14. Watch this space ey? Does that mean something is already lined up... Are are you still clutching at straws and holding out hope.. Genuine question
  15. We'll see... The things Rob Grant has promised in the past and not delivered on, I'll be the first to congratulate him though if he pulls a rabbit out of the hat, good luck to him. I hope he can find someone suitable...
  16. As pointed out, nobody is criticising any of the lads (even George, you can see he's giving it his all, he's just not ready yet) it's just the construction that is not good enough and ultimately that is down to not enough riders being available for the current rules in place... And no out of the box thinking, like Plymouth did last season...
  17. Yes... I have a race format that I've put together where the races are much closer than they currently are. If I knew how to share it here I would, but there's a limit to what it allows me to send...
  18. No one is really calling for a wholesale changes, most people agree that Max, James, Matty, Paul and Lee are good... It's the other two who need replacing. A little tweak, we need a new number 1 anyway... And to save money or raise money for a big hitting number 1, something from left field you know, bring in the much cheaper and better Ben Morley or even Archie (even though he's no where near ready) just to get a bit of top end firepower... George ain't scoring anything anyway...
  19. Completely agree... He's promised a lot, not really delivered and made some VERY strange decisions... But I'm not allowed to say that because without him there wouldn't be a team at all... Maybe that would be best, go out as legends known for Ole Olsen, Ivan Mauger and Nicki Pedersen, not whimper out known for Danny Phillips, George Congreve and Bradley Wilson Dean, the greatest number 1 of all time... I mean... Just look at who we've got as team manager for christ sakes, could replace him with a plant pot and the same job would be done. No offence Steve, I've known you for years, but you're just as out your depth as George Congreve... I need to log off now before I make too many comments and enemies, goodnight folks. The end of this club started with the snubbing and thrown away attitude towards @TotallyHonestJohn What a shame... I don't think people realise just how much he helped out, and now that's all gone, we can barely stand on two feet... Come on Granty, YOU'RE A BUSINESS MAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!
  20. The price of living is too damn high at the minute to watch something you're not enjoying just to 'keep the club alive' I need to keep me and my family alive first and foremost, as does everyone else... At least make the speedway entertaining enough to sacrifice other parts of my life over the racing...
  21. But most reserves aren't good enough to beat Bewley at Belle Vue, so just because once in a blue moon someone is, doesn't mean all the 99.9% of the other reserves need to be thrown in the deep end too, which creates drawn out races with riders of completely different abilities at different ends of the track... It's insulting to the public... The reserves should race eachother and be challenged to beat the second strings... Not expected to beat number 1s... It ain't gonna happen most the time and it's boring to watch
  22. But has there ever been a time where the 1s and 7s in the teams are so far apart ability wise? Sam Masters/Craig Cook/Charles Wright vs George Congreve/Henry Atkins/Nathan Ablitt... It's not a league, it's an open practice... As situations change, certain things need looking at, this includes the race format, stop living in the past!!
