Newcastle

I'm old school. It'll always be excluded

I don't know of anyone who has a bad word to say about him. Always has a smile on his face and will stand and chat to anyone. We need more like him

Nope, everything fine and dandy here. I don't do gloating

There's a double header NL meeting with a junior match fitted in somewhere amongst that in a couple of weeks. How long d'ya reckon that'll take? I'll be up north following the Rockets thankfully.

We left after heat 13. Lost interest. Why they bothered with 3 junior races heaven only knows. Track was dusty with little or no grip. Not a great advert for NL speedway. It didn't help that Buxton were absolute horse sh*t

7.30 and we've had 8 heats. Been here since 2pm. Falls, delays for rider replacement when a rider has 2 on the trot and three junior races have dragged this on way too long. We're giving it until 8 then We're off. I'm starving!!

It took a while to get the Pole in. Who you gonna get at such short notice?

Tommy Allen v Newport in 2009 https://youtu.be/_6xEdUSU-G0 13:30 in Walked away after a few minutes

I'd pay the Pole to stay at home and go with RR

No, but he cost us a few points this year

No RR in the KOC meeting, so barring mishaps it should be over by 4.45. Give it 20-30 minutes to drag over whatever shale remains and get the NL match started by 5.15 Two hours should be enough surely?

I'm going with an 8pm finish

Weather forecast is sunny intervals, 21 celcius. The clouds will clear by late afternoon/early evening.

That's still higher than Peter Karger's 1.54

What's the odds on the meeting being delayed for "track work"?

Track will be very slick. Not ideal going into bends 1 & 3. Expect a few fallers on the marble like surface. Like you, I'm not struck on double headers Raiders should be strong enough at the top end to take the points

Berwick defend a 16 point lead from the first leg. I can't see any way the Rockets can overhaul this. The best home points tally this year was 55 points. Only been in the 50's four times in total. I can see a home win by around 8 points, not enough

Let's impose penalties on clubs that double the car parking charge for big events and charge £4.40 for a pint of beer

Poland won 3 World Team Cups with Rune Holta in the side.

You have no chance with that bottom 3

i think he's spent a season at Eastbourne

Don't think he's quite in Tom Perrys class. Been knocking around the third tier for ages, what is he, 28? Like you said, we shall see!

Disagree with you about Halsey. Nowhere near Premier League class. Off the top of my head I can only think of one reserve that is about the same standard, Danny Phillips

Very weak bottom 3
