    Done better than expected tbh. Losing Josh In heat 1 was a massive blow. Cook with major bike issues also after cruising to 3 easy wins. Paco and lasse got better as the night went on lasse was very impressive. Both Jacob and Kyle started okay then faded. Kye up and down like a rollercoaster. 
     

    Thought young killen as much of a trier as he was, was completely out of control and is either going to hurt himself or someone else badly. Didn’t mange to make it back to the pits once without putting himself in the fence. Trying a bit too hard imo. 

    Sorry but a rider with Craig's experience should not have them kind of issues... A mean an EX GP & international rider aswell should have his 2nd bike in condition to win races at championship level & that's not a dig at other riders but his stuff should be top quality

    Pretty sure that if it's a late call off the home team has to cover all expenses. 

    Weather the home team covers the cost of all riders !! Who covers the cost of the away support.. fans out of pocket again & we wonder why our beloved sport is on the downward spiral in the UK .. but thats the great British weather tho

    Under the circumstances Berwick can be very proud of their efforts tonight.

    & I can't remember who's already wrote the bullets off ?? It's somewhere on this forum but the teams who normally are written off usually do well

    Totally wrong assumption. Redcar track staff, including 'our' Johnny Swales, worked  extremely hard Friday, Saturday and Sunday to try and get the meeting on for both Stuart and the many fans from here and elsewhere, to try and get this meeting on. All very well criticising from 40 of miles away, but if you had been there and therefore fit to comment you would have seen the multitude of track equipment plus volunteer vans being used to try and squeeze the water out of the track, which had got into the track following the downpour on the Saturday. Whilst it looked goodish to average on the top, apparently anybody that walked on the track said it was soft underneath and definitely unfit to ride on. 

    Anybody from afar can make stupid and harmful assumptions, but it doesn't give credit for the effort that was put in to try and help Stuart and the fans.

    I'm just pleased I got a phone call not to go which saved me a tenna in diesel

    Some sad News for Diamonds fans who knew George Lawson as he passed away suddenly earlier this week and will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

    George was an ardent speedway fan and done all his courting at Brough Park with his sweetheart and best pal Mary who later become his wife and they attended the speedway together with their children and grandchildren and George would travel to watch many a speedway meeting along with his son Doug and his Grandkids Kyle and Emily.

    He especially enjoyed his trips to the more local clubs such as Glasgow; Edinburgh Workington; Berwick and Redcar and would rarely miss watching the Diamonds but would also regularly travel further afield for individuals such as the Premier League (Championship) Riders Final especially when it was held at Sheffield. However during his travels George got to every track in the country following the Newcastle Diamonds. He regularly came to Brough on his motor bike and I will certainly miss my hens eggs that he would bring...

    RIP George

    Sadly missed John...

    Well put John & George was a smashing bloke RIP George

    Very good looking side imo, them, Poole and Glasgow are my top 3 for next year. As much as it pains me to say, I'll probably be visiting Redcar a few times this season, with the demise of the Diamonds :( So I am glad to see such a strong team of exciting riders out on the track. Redcar is actually my closest track anyway, 15 minutes up the road rather than the hour it took to get to Brough...

    Yeah I'll be having a few trips down aswell as the odd Sunday to Northside aswell

    See Owen Booth was hoping to sign for Bullets

    It's getting harder to get a place in the NDL nowadays so all Owen can do is get as much practice in as he can which does come at a cost ( doing scunny & Redcar amateur meetings etc  which becomes expensive) but hopefully the hard work pays off for him in the long run

    Not so sure they wouldn't have passed the BSPA fit and proper owners test. Mr Grant might have been a shyster but I'm not aware of him running a tyrannical regime of misogyny and homophobia ;)

    I know speedway is desperate for investment but you've got to draw a line somewhere.

    Could always get someone to front it for them that's a clean person

    If there were enough Diamond supporters turned up  to matches you might still have Speedway.Football was still well supported when they were struggling.

    Did you see the state of the 2022 team & that's not a dig at the riders as they are worth there wage packets After every meeting if they win or loose

  11. Just aswell Newcastle United are doing very good as if Mr Ashley was still in charge could you imagine how depressing it would be with the toon fighting relegation or even getting relegated last season & the diamonds getting the plug pulled midway through the season... But thankfully the Saudis came in !! Just a pity they never had a bit loose change probably a million or 2 & could have sorted a new speedway venue out for us diamonds supporters

    Watching the Diamonds at Armadale in 2010 & being reminded of how good Bach & Larsen were!

    Made me remember how many great Danes the Diamonds had over the Years. What would be their strongest Danish 7?

    1. Ole Olsen
    2. Kenni Larsen
    3. Bjarne Pedersen
    4. Kenneth Bjerre
    5. Nicki Pedersen
    6. Rene Bach
    7. Jesper Olsen

    What about Mr Newcastle.. dickie juul ? & Kristian Lund jonus raun etc !! We've had some very good Danes at Newcastle speedway & just wish we were still going

    I assume you're on about the MASSIVE van sized craters on the road up to the gate, that runs alongside the mx track?? Not been there since the small track days, but I'm guessing this is still the main road in? Nearly snapped a few axles and blew out a few wheels in these holes in the past, especially when they're filled with water because you forget how deep they are :rofl:

    Ya supposed to take it easy on rural roads

    When I came up the other week, I walked to the track from the town centre. The walk is too far and too difficult to be comfortable - unlike Derwent Park - and I can't see many trying it but in terms of being remote it is nothing like Buxton or Mildenhall, for example.  Eastbourne - which is accessed by a short drive down a narrow unlit road - is similar. 

    Did the sat nav not pick up the postcode correctly lol
