    Finland

    Being from Finland myself, although living in the uk most my life, I would love to know more about my home nations speedway, particularly its riders. I am aware of the SM-Liiga's existence and know the results of the first round. But I know next to nothing about most the riders who are in that competition this year. Is there anywhere where I can access information on these riders? I mainly just wanna know who's an u-21 rider and who's an u-19 rider for the 2021 season and who the biggest hopes for Finland are in the future. I know there's a few Finns on this forum, who hopefully can shed some light for me. The only real talent that I can think of other than the obvious riders like Antti Vuolas and Timi Salonen is the 17 year old (18 now?) Roni Niemela, who scored 12 points from 6 rides against much older riders in the first round of SM-Liiga...

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Yep... Crowds have been ridiculously low other than that one meeting where everyone turned up in support

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Sounds like we've been well and truly f#cked over by Godfrey and his croneys AGAIN... He won't be happy until it's Scorpions vs Stags every week... Maybe he thinks the whole country will ascend on Scunthorpe to watch the only speedway still in operation. How about we all boycott his club!! See how he likes being f#cked about

    Would be a positive thing if we did sign someone tbh, would make me think that Rob has 2022 in mind... Or else what would be the point

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Supposedly there's rumours of a change to our team, according to the Glasgow thread. Wonder how much truth there is to that?

    Redcar 2020

    Drew Kemp and Anders Rowe to Kent in place of Nathan Ablitt and Ben Morley is my guess

    Poole v Newcastle 25th August 2021

    Hi Lisa, thanks for your response. All of my questions though were directed at the car park Is it a decent car park? Plenty of spaces available? Obviously I dunno the area at all, so if I didn't get a space I wouldn't have a clue where to leave my car. I have been to Poole once before a few years ago and I've got to say it's an amazing stadium, I sat in the seated stand along the back straight and it was a pleasurable evening, Vs Swindon with Doyle and Batchelor and I seem to remember Ellis Perks was really good that night too, also Rasmus Jensen. I forget who else was in the Poole team other than Jack and Brady. That night though I managed to get a hotel a 20 minute walk from the stadium so I just walked in and didn't really pay much attention to the car park tbh.. Also, does the car park cost anything to park in? If so, do I have to download one of these stupid parking apps that NEVER work? I don't mind a wait to get out the car park, I'm a pretty patient driver I would say, just didn't know how long. Also if there's a M+SDL meeting on after I would definitely stay for that. Dunno if Weymouth are running this season? I will be down for the Diamonds meeting and hopefully the bank holiday Sunday too vs Birmingham.

    What's the parking like a Poole? Is it decent? What's the cost? Enough spaces usually? Chaos at the end trying to get out? Cheers

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Is there likely to be any fixtures arranged for 29th and 5th? Any information would be appreciated

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Really hope Eastbourne can pull through, their first home fixture, if there is ever another, and if I can attend, no work commitments etc, I'm going straight down, the support people from all over the country showed the Diamonds for the double header last week was amazing and now it's time to repay the compliment for a fellow team in struggles I sincerely hope Eastbourne pull through as they're an amazing club, with a full British line up!!

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Will the Eastbourne fixture take place next weekend either? I would assume not given the state of Eastbourne's club right now... So there's gonna be a 2 week gap in fixtures
  15. Just need a Ludvig back to come and show everyone how to perfect it Fingers crossed next year... Easily the most styling rider I've seen ride for the Diamonds (since 2008) I get that he was massively inconsistent, but I don't care... Them moes he did into bend 3 and 4 were just breath taking, and I've not seen anyone do it since he left Please come back Ludvig, PLLEEEASSEEE
  16. Couldnt have put it better myself... barely any fans there again... but a cracking meeting, one of the best for years at brough imo... Connor beating Steve so comfortably for the second week in a row and Adam's outside pass down the home straight were the highlights for me
  17. But this season is a learning curve for Archie in preparation (hopefully) for next season. Were not going to do anything this year so what's the point in NOT giving Arvhue the experience and track time. Plenty of better options yes (Luke Ruddick or Ryan Kinsley seems the best ones) but why? Two rising stars next year remember, so Archue should be one of them, and he will have learned a lot by then hopefully from his half season this year On another note, meeting of the season so far tonight!! Every single race was exciting and I dont remember a meeting like that for years. Shame the crowd was so small... no one got to see how entertaining we were. Especially Adam, Max, Connor and Ben Well done Archue for being so on the pace. As for next week, parent Jake Mulford and Dan Gilkes both in the under 19s too? So Kent will be missing noth reserves and well ve missing one... all 3 are 1 star reserves too, so we need to act quick in getting the best one available before Kent do... Jordan Palin and Jenkins are presumably in under 19s also? Who else is available at 1 star. Greg Blair maybe?
  18. If we keep it outside the 60s again I'll be happy with this one... just hope the racing is similar to the Plymouth meeting last week and not the poole one, at least there was some passing!! Good luck to all the riders, stay safe out there
  19. Okay... Take it I'm way off the mark then...
  20. Makes you wonder what Peter Kildemand and Rasmus Jensen are up to...? Not sure of Peter's Polish commitments, I know Rasmus rides for Gdansk (I think) Dunno how Gdansk are looking for playoffs? BUT Rasmus has ridden in the uk recently, so surely a visa could be sorted relatively easily?
  21. Would be interested to know who all of these riders we have approached are? Just out of curiosity more than anything, always nice to know what's happened

    Poole Pirates 2021

    Benjamin Basso is a very talented young rider, got a good name there. Looking forward to watching him at Brough at the weekend on maybe the last diamonds meeting ever
