Shadders

Was thinking the same. Complin only rides the outside line, wrong track for him. Wells was naive for a rider of his experience. Waved Howarth through

Been to every track up and down the country. Newcastle is the only one where I rarely see anyone wearing the home sides merch. Lifeless, lacklustre crowd.

Bandits will will be kicking themselves to be the only visitors to lose at Newcastle this season. Shocking side on an awful track

Currently steady rain within sight of the track. Probably would’ve been postponed anyway. *edit* Now raining heavily at 1850

Four guests and RR for both sides

Prefer Magna Tandoori in Bridge Street. There’s a nice Turkish restaurant opposite.

Averaging over 11 points a meeting at Shielfield before injury. Been a huge miss.

9th July

A season that looked promising now looks dead and buried, and Poole have yet to come up

Adult admission at Berwick is generally cheaper for stand alone meetings. For NL meetings there’s a considerable difference, £10 compared to £14 for the Cubs. One club north of the Border charges a whopping £20 if you don’t pre book!!

And the penny finally drops. Welcome to the club

Easier on HIS usual visit to watch a race with us on the third bend

Cheers

Yep

Even worse when you consider who is eligible for RR. An off form Theo Pijper, Leon Flint recovering from injury, a 4 point reserve and a guest reserve who’d been out of speedway for ten years before this season and has hardly flattered this time around. Not sure if Ricky Wells qualifies. Unsure if the averages have been updated. Leicester must be licking their lips

Apparently the issue is with the poor WiFi in the area.

You can’t use a bank card at the turnstiles, cash only

Guests can be pretty hit and miss. Take Plymouth for example. Chris Harris scoring 3 points vs Edinburgh yesterday probably cost them the meeting. Berwick have suffered more than most with three riders out injured at one stage. They’ll be two riders down this weekend. Jye Etheridge in particular is a huge loss, only dropping three points in four meetings at home before he was injured in heat 1 against Redcar.

Pretty sure most clubs would opt for their regular 1-7 given the chance. Unfortunately injuries and other factors outside of speedway often don’t allow it.

Leicester using RR tonight. How about they field a full team?

You have absolutely no idea what you’re on about, just here for argument. Guess what, you lost

Before my time

They attempted something in the second tier in 2006, British reserves stayed at reserve no matter their average during the season. Steve Boxall (Rye House) and Jon Armstrong (Mildenhall) averaged 7 at one stage which some promoters didn’t like, so that idea was dropped mid season

He certainly did

You’re always hopeful, but I have my doubts
