If all clubs offered a free or reduce admission to NHS staff (On proof of I.D) after COVID-19 is done then it would be a great gesture, but the sport could also benefit from them spending money in the ground and hopefully bring in new fans if current NHS Speedway fans spread the word to promote the sport too and come and enjoy a night's racing.

Excellent news. I knew Poole did, but not Eastbourne. That's great two clubs already.

Anything Janice to keep us entertained.

I like Roy and he brings some laughs and keeps our place at Redcar going during the meetings. Better than having someone who hasn't a clue on the sport or nothing at all. Maybe Newcastle could have a bingo caller during the interview that might be better for them. I agree what Rob Grant has done keeping the Diamonds going as nobody wants to see a team fail, but disagree with Pipey not getting a chance but that's speedway everyone tells me.

Not worth the paper it's written on these days.

Wonder if the same riders will still be there if Speedway runs this season They might be replaced before turning a wheel.

After contesting part of the Redcar Speedway Open and Amateur Series last year before a cruel accident in Denmark forced Nicklas Clausen out of the rest of the season despite finishing second overall in the North East of England Series to fellow Dane and "Speedway Brother Jacob Bukhave " on the points system the Twenty Two year old has been active in his recovery and in the Gym as much as he can to be fighting fit ready for the season ahead. His partner Emma Hall told Speedway Fans Group " Nicklas has started in the gym again lost a couple of kilos doing spinning etc and will be back on a bike next weekend in Germany for a practice." It is unsure what Nicklas British Racing season will consist of, but he has proved around the Media Prima Arena how quick and successful he can be on his 500cc machine. Once again Nicklas will be backed by family and friends including his long term sponsors along with Ken Hall of V-Tec Garage Services, BB Plumbing & Heating Services, Sarah Hall Motorsport, Mark & Harry Lowe and CHR (Chrisy Holliday Racing). If anyone is interested in helping then please contact Nicklas Clausen himself or partner Emma Hall .

George would be welcome here any day if it was him.

People saying he's not a good manager. Why not give the bloke a chance or even more see how the team performs because if they are not good then who will the fans turn on Grant and the rest of the people involved ?as Jason wasn't there when the new team was picked.

Welcome Jason Pipe Your new Diamonds manager. http://newcastle-speedway.co.uk/diamonds-source-a-new-manager-for-2020-welcome-jason-pipe/?fbclid=IwAR25X7cMEl5UIQyIPtkUNDzzM7-8TLbx66omO_WZw1pgpcBE18NkE_t3W0M

What about give it a chance before it's pulled to bits straight away. You Geordies are an impatient lot

Will miss seeing George in charge at Newcastle. Hopefully he will still go and watch.

Must be two different contracts then And when did he ride for the Bears then last season

in the reserves heat I'd like to see how they would compare against each other as you think Jacob is not a good enough rider. as a sponsor of him seeing him just wanting to race and all this being an asset crap is just a joke. He's never rode for the bears for years and the contract is not worth diddly. If he was an asset of mine i'd be promoting the lad to other teams if they needed a rider and bring some money to him .

you ruled Greaves out of Redcar yourself. Maybe the other are worth a go and if they do good luck to them. If Newcastle offer Jacob a place i'd like to see him there Redcar can have Phillips as I would like to see them two race each other.

Such as?

Scored 7 at one meeting at Newcastle given he's only a 4 average and one of them was a win. Had a good dice with Ben Barker finishing second to him. Underrated rider not given a full chance.

Not with the way they want to try and keep a percentage of this years team I agree, but if they had started again then I would think and know Jacob would do well for them. Regarding silver Helmet I meant by how he was doing before rain stopped play he was controling better than some of the more known riders. I hope he gets a team placing somewhere else 1 to see him ride again and 2 to see him against the Bears

Not good enough eh? scored highest of the individuals at last Julie Lewis 11 points Done better than the doubters thought at Newcastle at the time he was there. Was doing ok at the Silver Helmet while others were failing due to weather and he stayed on. Who would you like to see then Marshall07?

An asset they refuse to use

Not bad pickings that

Hope not. I'd rather have Wooley, be we need at least one good scorer in reserve

Jacob said he would ride for the Diamonds. He just wants to be out racing in a team. See who comes in with investment hopefully

THE DANISH BRING HOME THE BACON. This years Redcar Speedway Amateur Open Series has seen two Danish riders Jacob Bukhave and Nicklas Clausen take the top two places in the Open 500cc category. The series run by Jamie Swales at the Media Prima Arena was set up this year for riders wanting to contest a series away from the main leagues in British Speedway. Both Jacob and Nicklas who have their bases on Teesside when over in the UK with the Hall family decided to contest this years series to give them more time racing on UK soil when not competing with their other commitments. The pair who are great friends off track and good rivals on track took on the rest of the competitors and it was looking like a clean sweep until Nicklas suffered a crash in Denmark which at the time it wasn't known if he would be back for the rest of the season and after missing out on round 3 and what would be for the rest of the year knew his campaign was over, but with having scored top points his second place was still there for the taking and it was looking like George Rothery was going to have it from Clausen, but with the cancellation now of the series due to the winter weather and running out of time with the days at the track Jamie Swales has confirmed the overall places after 3 rounds. The winner on 44 points is Jacob Bukhave from Harndrup who is an unattached rider after having a stint with Newcastle Diamonds earlier this season is looking for a team place for 2020. Nicklas from Otterup in Denmark finished on 24 points. George Rothery in Third was close with 22 points. Jamie Swales said "It's with massive disappointment that we have had to make the decision to not run the last round, unfortunately the track is deteriorating with the current weather and with winter preparations needed we have ran out of time." It is hoped with the success it's been this year the series will once again run in 2020.
