Any significance in this? Companies House has a new company called Newcastle Diamonds formed as a limited company in November 2019. The director is Alexander Robert Grant of Ponteland

Some of us are gluttons for punishment.

Still dry at the moment, but the forecast is poor.

Steve seems to sorted himself out, at least at Birmingham last night. Four wins from five rides

Hoping for good things from Thomas.,following his 5 ride paid maximum for King's Lynn on Thursday.

Don't panic, we can put it right on Wednesday!!!!

Sunthorpe provided scant opposition to the home side, Ben Barker apart, who almost scored half of this team's total. Newcastle winning 54-36. Josh Auty was mainly anonymous , 5 rides for 6 points. Danny Ayres, however was exciting, though inconsistent. Deserved more than his 5 points Ben Barker scored 17 points, from 7, including 3 wins. A joy to watch, especially his battles with Wethers. Jake Allan sorry to say was awful. Ryan Kinsley. outclassed. Simon Lambert returned to Brough with a point to prove, but still couldn't figure the track out. 5 from 6 from him. The home side took the lead in heat 1. The ever popular Matt Wethers top scored with 15, while Stevie Worrall missed out on a max in heat 15. Most eyes were on Jacob Buckhave, and he impressed with his all action riding. Missing for the Diamonds was Lasse Bjerre, due to illness. Some talk on the terraces regarding changes to the Diamonds side.

After a decent night at Berwick last night, Newcastle look to overturn Berwick's 6 point advantage. Only one change from last night sees Berwick using Paul Starke as a guest for Kevin Doolan, rather than rider replacement,

I thoroughly recommend this book, a must for anyone interested in Newcastle speedway. Joe has produced a labour of love, I can only marvel at the work he has put in.

Jedd List looking very fast after the meeting, albeit racing alone. I would try and fit him in if we can.

I'll start this off as the there appears no one else has. First home match for the Diamonds against Redcar who took the spoils on Friday. Siince then Redcar went down heavily at Leicester last night, while Mattie Wethers came 4th in the Bordernapolis. Stevie Worrall looks as though he had a nightmare at Belle Vue in the Peter Craven Trophy, scoring just one point Newcastle Worrall, Lambert, Bjerre, Wethers (or Wethers, Bjerre) Jorgensen, Phillips, Clegg Redcar Palm Toft, Bacon, Barker, Stewart, Wtight, Greaves, Smith. First leg :~ Redcar 51 Newcastle 39.

When I get a spare couple of hours, I'll let you have what I know.

Jorgensen rode with no.3. No one else had numbers.

Impressed with Max Clegg at the practice today. Jorgensen was very fast as well. Decent turnout to watch.

That sounds brilliant Joe, I'll certainly be in touch very soon.

The three wheeler was a give away

Lasse Bjerre and Danny Phillips complete the Newcastle team

Raining at the moment, but the met office forecast is looking better from about 5.00. Hope the damage hasn't already been done and we can go ahead with the racing.

The Panthers had a torrid time at Berwick last night scoring just 35 points with Scott Nicholls getting 17 of them, plus a bonus point. Diamonds will be favourites for this, apparently the heavy rain forecast for today looks to have missed us.

Newcastle face tough opposition with Workington the visitors. The Comets come to Brough with a victory under their belts against Berwick at Shieldfield last night. Newcastle need the "good" Matel Kus to turn up tonight. Stuart Robson takes over the no. 1 racejacket.

After a close defeat at Armadale on Friday, Newcastle will be strong favourites to gain full points against the Monarchs. Will be interesting to see how Matej Kus fares on his home debut, while it is a welcome return for Robbo.

Heat 6 time was 75.8.

Fantastic win for the Diamonds tonight. Even though Lindgren and Aarnio had their problems, Diamonds were up by 20 points after heat 10. Berwick fought back in the last five heats, not enough though and an eight point win for the visitors. A real team performance and let's hope it continues tomorrow.

Sad to hear of this awful news, although it has been expected, it's still a shock.I was at Brough Park to see his first home ride for Newcastle on 15 April 1963. This ended in an engine failure, an inauspicious start. A second and two wins, all on borrowed bikes completed his first match. He did improve!!!! RIP the ultimate professional.
