TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted June 22, 2021 Will Mr Crump be fit for this meeting and if so will he attend as his lad is racing in the 1st round of the British Superbike Championship on the 27th, however if he is passed fit and is a no show Plymouth won't get a facility for him... So I think that means an NDL guest... If he is still injured (cough cough) and Plymouth get a facility then maybe Danny King... How many will Bjarne put on the gate and how many more will Crump add if he turns up? Forecast is for rain at the minute but they said the same for this Sunday.... Score... well I reckon with Stevie Worrall in again we should be good for a 50 40 home win as a minimum no matter what team Plymouth send ... Ruml could score being used to tighter US tracks Steven Goret will not know what planet he's on and will have seen nothing like Brough in his life Zach Cook could struggle as well and it depends which Alfie Bowtell turns up and young Luke will be a good test for JPB... All in all should be a good match and I am also expecting some thrills with the Plymouth top two and a few spills from the rest of them...

the hobbit 152 Posted June 23, 2021 Was at Plymouth last night and from what Crump was saying when interviewed, he is still one to two weeks away from riding again. we have booked two tickets for this upcoming match, we are Brummies fans but want to support the Newcastle owner and club after all of your troubles . the tickets are for the covered grandstand area . could anyone tell me if that is a terraced standing area or , if it is a stand with seats as my wife can’t stand throughout a full meeting due to a bad back and, I was wondering if I needed to bring folding chairs into the stadium or, if our tickets were for an area with seating ? thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The steps are pretty high, say about 8/10 inches and, a bit steep, so maybe not great for folding chairs, they're ok to sit on with a cushion I suppose. There was some wooden seats/table near to the entrance area, but not sure if they can be used. Edited June 23, 2021 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redflag 25 Posted June 23, 2021 Bought my tickets yesterday traveling up from Exeter for this one. Last visited in April 89 watching the Falcons they lost by 3 that day,would take that this time for the Gladiators but think home track knowledge will be enough for Newcastle to win by 10/12.

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted June 23, 2021 Crump cant make it because he needs another week or two to sort his injury out (cough cough) so Plymouth call on Charles Wright to fill in as a guest at Number 1 so a bit of added spice with Charles and James going head to head... Fans need to book early to ensure they aren't disappointed especially when our former "Super Dane" Bjarne Pedersen... is coming back... Bjarne Pedersen had a fantastic record when he rode for the Diamonds... 87 meetings with 446 rides... 1073 points and 39 bonus points for a total of 1112 points which included 15 full and 8 paid maximums and ending up with a 9.97 average for his career which puts him in joint 6th place (with Nicki P) on the all time average list in Newcastle colours and he comes in at 20th in the best seasons average list with 10.17 in 2003 and 8th on the all time list for maximums in a Newcastle career... the guy is a true Newcastle Diamonds Legend... This will be a cracking meeting with a strong Plymouth top end and the return of a couple of former Diamonds as lets not forget Alfie Bowtell and then there are the guys who have never seen Brough Park before and watching these riders who will be visiting for the very first time will be good to see, This has all the potential to be a classic meeting Regards THJ PS.

Was trying to give the guy the heads up,,, a think the big steps under the canopy wouldn't be ideal for folding chairs,,, but if there is room for chairs at the bottom, thats great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
