    That’s because we don’t chuck a £10k sign-on fee at them… they’ve ruined the league with their ‘win at all costs’ mentality, other clubs can’t keep up with the money they throw around.

    There needs to be a cap on what clubs are offering these young riders ( wage wise ) as there getting top dollar money but aren't delivering ( some of them ) & yet a rider who's got years of experience behind... Not mentioning any names had to drop out of racing in the NDL as he was only offered a pittance... The speedway game in the UK is dying big time ... & I've supported the sport for over 50 years but it's on the big decline sadly

    So still replacements to find for Troy and Riss, glad I’m not bothering with the eight hour round trip for this.

    That’s Cook, Kildemand, Klindt, Batchelor, Riss, Kerr, Flint, Castagna all missing with 2 more riders to find at 4 hours notice.

    Along with no Brennan, Ben Cook, Pickering, Nicholls, Schlein from previous seasons.

    Hope there’s a good crowd like there was yesterday at the GTS Tyres Arena.

    That's why I never went to the pairs yesterday & not going to Scunthorpe today as these meetings should be run later in the season like they used to be

    The Cairns family are based in Hertfordshire but distance is no problem for them. They think nothing of hiring and driving up to Workington to have a practice for 3hrs .

    Like most Leicester fans I am very disappointed that Will won’t ride for the Lions at present but understand and respect his decision maybe one day in the future. Although not sure if he may sign as a Lions asset and then be loaned to other clubs in a similar way that BV signed James Pearson then loaned him to Birmingham 

    He's under Herbie Hancocks umbrella & probably will be getting the monster sponsorship in the next season oor 2 without a doubt imo

    Unfortunately Yes.  Tried to ride Lubos off his bike at Stoke coming off the 4th bend and then came around and stood on his bike dangerously revving his bike pointing at Lubos being attended on the ground by track staff and medics. Crazy guy copying his father and egged on by one of the promotion and crowd. Not the only incident Diamond fans hate him of course. 😉

    Things would have been totally different if that con of a virus never happened which put the speedway back ( COVID ) imo  as the team that Rob had put together would have certainly been unbeatable at home & would have definitely pushed for points on the road but that's in the past now & can't see speedway coming back to brough nowadays unfortunately

    In which case wouldn't a whole host of other sponsors appear as creditors? Can't imagine he'd be the biggest sponsor?

    This would relate to a payment due to Nick Brown MP, for services provided, which is outstanding?

    Interesting.  I recall Nick Brown chaired an All Party Speedway Commons Committee way back.  Wonder if it relates in some way to that? Or perhaps Grant was seeking political support in securing an alternative site.  Anyone fancy doing a FOI on this one?

    Hi all Newcastle speedway fans if anyone is interested in going to Bellevue for the British GP on Saturday June the 14th 2025 I will run a bus & pick up from the home of the Noe defunct diamonds sadly... Brough park at about 10am in the morning so we get to Manchester around about 2pm & gives us plenty time to visit the fan zone etc before the speedway starts & the bus will be leaving about half n hour after the meeting finishes so we get back to Newcastle for roughly 10pm .. just give me a message if anyone would like to go & I'll run a bus no problem

    If you don’t take Danny King back then there must be others on the list eg: S Worrall, D Thompson, T Brennan, B Cook etc. Just a few examples of possible riders that could fill a Danny King gap. I would be ok with Danny back again though. 

    Be massive money to entice Brennan or cook .. better get more raffle tickets sold at the end of season do

    It's like been at Brough park ,track is a joke !! Been spoilt with a good race track . 

    I know the euros have started but need to get it sorted crowds getting less every week ! 

    Couldn't believe how many people left after heat 15 !!! 

     

     

     

    What's brough park got to do with the Redcar track and by the way when Johnny swales done both tracks the racing was toppa... So unfortunately he can't do the Newcastle track and for some reason he doesn't do Redcar now .. so that's why the ( imo ) the racing isn't as good now at Redcar

    In the words of private Frazer "we're doomed"

    By the time the new averages come out a certain Richie worrall will be clear to ride following his half a season ban just saying  and could be a replacement for Rory

    Another week, another home defeat. Well done to Berwick on a fully deserved win. Strong team performance all round really, special mention to Borke who was excellent at reserve. 
     

    For the Bears it’s the same old story, Wright superb and only missed out on a max when Barker baulked him and his footrest caught the fence. Barker did ok, could have done with Riss this week, but the rest were very hit and miss and always look vulnerable.

    Track produced some good racing but the level of dust was totally unacceptable, even from Heat 1. Tried watching from my usual vantage point on the back straight and was covered after a couple of races, so had to slum it with the lads on the home straight for a bit ;) . Yes it’s been warm and sunny for a bit but the track was far too dry at the start. Not good.

    Not a good night to be a Bears fan. Again.

    I was down last week v scunny & when I got home had a shower and the amount of dust was canny bad that I washed off so decided to give it a miss tonight with being a mega hot day n I thought the track would be slick n dry as a bone to whip up the dust

    Wont really matter the number after heat 2 as the team manager will do reserve switches based on what he sees happen in that heat 

    Whoever has any doubts about Celina former National league co-ordinator Jason pipe has put on  Facebook a race with her & drew kemp passing eachother & she takes the win on the outside.. great race & for those who don't have Facebook it's also on YouTube & Kemp's in white & Celina in yellow... Well worth a look

    I really feel for the Plymouth promotion on this. I don't agree with everything that goes on at Plymouth and I think things could be better but the injuries and then the Barker fiasco last season and now Worrall this is just such bad luck. I fear for the future of the club (and speedway as a whole to be honest).

    Not sure if any of the worrall doubters are on FB but I suggest if yous are go on and have a look at Richie's post on last night's test before yous judge the fella
