    No. It was mentioned early on with his signing that we had something like 7.5 points, and someone mentioned Lee's average would be assessed as 5.00. It sounds about right given the time he has been out, and his capability if he gets his fitness and nerve back. We will see.
  2. He's more suited, and concentrating on being a Long Track rider.

    I think he appeared at Sunny about September,21 time for a practice session. Since then he I think concentrated on weightloss and getting his body fit for racing. I believe he has two top engines from Sean Wilson. He should now be getting back on track to get race ready and accustomed to his new equipment for the new season..

    Quite agree. Getting an important meeting under their belt will give them some faith, and allow them to build on that and continue work on the spectator facilities. Great time to have a meeting IMO.

    How would that work ? Looking at the picture in the Star this week, they seem to use a permanent mixing deck located above the front stand at the Edinburgh track.

    Conversely if Lee, who I think has been given a assessed 5 point average, if he hits form from the start he will still be very handy to have at reserve for taking others rides. If a 5.00 it make us start understrength again by 1.51.

    Good idea but I can't see Newcastle doing that. It would be cheaper and better for fans to be let in but.....

    Behind closed doors apparently like last year.

    Apart from that I'm rather pleased with the new look. Very professional look, but for it to be believable it needs updating regularly when things happen, and not done en bloc occassionally.

    I think they are developing the site in the best way. Start with the track, then the buildings, standing and seating areas, and then the add ons such as parking and services.

    I believe the track is the same widths as BV.

    He won't Steve. He's made a stupid statement that's not true, but he's not going to admit to it. Never missed a meeting in the last two years, and had a season ticket and paid via the ticket system as you will know.

    You forgot Redcar.

    Sad thing is a few years ago you had a fallout with Berwick, and for a couple of years you were welcomed by us at Newcastle. Rather ironic that you childishly slag off the Diamonds fans which for a short time you were one of them.

    Probably only cos you have a common enemy, us at Newcastle. Quite sad.

    I know. Remember that song years ago, either George Formby, or Charlie Drake . "When I'm cleaning windows" OK it was Formby.

    Before the lockdowns, we used to stand in the 2nd temporary stand with some Redcar supporters and had some great 'debates' and laughs together. Usually stand in the gap in front of the refreshments bar now, and that's because we meet other Diamonds fans and with Bears fans. Usually if you give it back respectfully, you can get a great atmosphere. I feel quite at home at Redcar, but last year we had someone cleaning the refs windows during a meeting, now there's a first. Wonder who he was ?

    Did he get home to Redcar that night ?

    Trigger seems to get everywhere. Palin is a better rider than both twins.

    Yes, but whilst Chris will be walking nearer to the track, the Metro will have continued on to the Chilly Road Metro. Obviously quicker for both journeys to get off and later get on at the Byker Metro station.

    NEWCASTLE DIAMONDS 2022

    Hi Chris and pleased you fancy a trip to God's country. The Byker Metro station is just less than a mile away, and a good direct road to the track. Whilst you can never be sure, it's probably about a 2 to 2.5 hours show, plus the walk back to the Metro station, and then the time for the Metro to get to the Central Station which has its own Metro station. Pick a good meeting when the opponents can be expected to attack the track. It's got tight bends and long straights but you still get some decent passing and racing. Dave

    Armadale Devils 2022

    I signed Willie in 2002 to ride in my new Gems team, along with Jamie Robertson. He was a natural from the start, but we lost him that year with a broken leg, after being hit after falling by a following rider. His style was almost identical to David Bargh and later Kenny Larsen, going in hard with full lock on, and able to exit the 2nd and 4th bends wheels in line and power still on. But for his mechanic, and moving around the Northern teams, he would have been a top rider in the second league. Still looks the same, with the same boyish looks he had then.

    Went to the same school and Boys Club(same as Mike Watkin). Mike H was alway a happy go lucky lad and daft enough to try anything, so I wasn't surprised at all that he became a speedway rider. Never heard anything about him for years, so not sure if he has left the area(North East).
