Well to be fair I think it will be a close one 47 - 43 or 46 - 44 but no idea which way... the Diamonds need to show the same spirit they did against Glasgow and we could pull off another surprise... However this could be the 3rd last ever meeting at Brough and the fans need to turn out in numbers to show the Promotion that the sport isn't a lost cause in Newcastle and I don't mean thousands although that would be very nice... but the bigger the turn out 650/750/850 say then this will make the Promotion think again...

Mr Blobby 2,646 Posted September 12, 2021 Massive match in the context of the play offs must get at least a point tonight imo. Don’t want to have to leave it up to other teams for us getting in or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t want to have to leave it up to other teams for us getting in or not. Not sure that’s enough Blobby. We are 0 on the plus / minus, Scunny +3 Brum and Kent -1. If we win and go above Scunny it won’t matter what Brum do at Brough next week. I don’t see Kent getting 4 points at Leicester. Plus that might get us Redcar in the playoffs, and a wee game of golf at Rockliffe Hall on the way there!! Marvellous ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
