lucifer sam 3,953 Posted April 14, 2013 Can't find a thread on this as yet. I guess the Diamonds start as slight favourites, but the Scorpions will be battling all the way to get their hands on the opening piece of silverware of the Premier League season. My prediction: Newcastle 51 Scunthorpe 45, and the Scorpions to win by one point on aggregate... again!! All the best Rob 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLSDiamond 6 Posted April 14, 2013 Looking forward to a good meeting between a couple of well matched sides. Auty and Howe always perform and Palm-Toft was fantastic as a guest for us last season. Hopefully the wind dies down a bit or the hardest job of the day will go to the lads and lasses doing the sheets on the dog track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chewbacca 653 Posted April 14, 2013 How lucky are we Diamonds fans to able to watch two young, exciting, ENGLISH talents coming of age? Lewis wad faultless tonight and that was no 'easy' max. He beat Auty and Howe fair and square. And how quickly we have got used to Richie banging in big scores. A good meeting tonight despite the score. Jorgensen, Auty and Howe all putting in some decent rides to push the Diamonds hard. Some great tussles. A top night at the speedway. PS - hope young Greenwood recovers quickly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Good to see a young Brit get given a chance in the PL and doing well. 2014 rules should have every PL club being made to do so. Currently 10 of the 13 PL teams have a Brit at reserve, only Berwick, Edinburgh and Redcar don't, but Somerset have 2. So Back the Brits!
