Thank you for that, it doesn't look like it's that match either then!

Still trying to get the confirmation on Richards's injury from this season, after further investigation it appears that one of the matches I don't have is Newcastle vs Rye House on the 30th of May this was a rare two matches in two days as the 31st of May saw Newcastle against Long Eaton which I have that match. Does anybody have the video/dvd of this match, or even a program that could confirm this? I have the match on the 31st so it is not that one. Thank you for your assistance.

That was a serious injury no doubt about it however that is not the match I'm referring to as stated in the first post, I made it was Newcastle in 1993 and the ambulance had to stop on the way to hospital (the general) three times even dickie himself had forgotten about it until I was talking about it to him a while ago!

No as said above it was before that, it was before we closed down at the end of 1994 while he was a Newcastle asset!

Hi bloom89, Not sure if you still have these dvds available as just seen your post, if so & you are interested in doing a deal please let me know! I will keep an eye out for the next few days or so, as I don't visit the forum much now we no longer have a team to follow. Best regards Mike

I am trying to find what matches of the Newcastle Auto Coachwork Diamonds 1993 Season on video/DVD I am missing from Brough Park this was Stuart Robeson's first season at this level also the year Paul Thorp rode of us as well as Garry Stead! The Reason for this I am trying to ascertain which match it was where Richard Juul got injured and the ambulance had to stop three times on the way to hospital this is long before the Wolverhampton incident may I add, I know it happened as I was there that night, rare for me to attend a full meeting in those days! I do have what I believe is most of the matches that year at home, but still not got that meeting in my archives. Thanks for any help in advance. Mike

Not in the least bit surprised (if true) not that I'm doubting anyone but this club in recent times has been so close to the brink and been pulled back, but I'm absolutely devastated as that club means the world to me and I will never change my elegance. I am devastated I have not been able to go since Rob took it over, but sadly I am now confined to the house unless I attend hospital appointments via ambulance. Let's hope it can come back, however slight that chance is, as I believe it is two big a club to be allowed to go to the wall, so although I think it will be gone and forgotten I'll cling on to hope against hope!

So sad to read the untimely death of what in my view was one of only a very few so committed and knowledgeable to the sport as a whole, I remember when he and Andrew Dalby did a double act at Newcastle in 2002 for Jesper's testimonial!! Rip Nigel

Also works a treat on youtube as well as other websites!

Ok thanks for conformation.

Do Newcastle have a fixture on the 29th of August against Eastbourne? as after looking on the forum, the Diamonds website, and Trybooking website I can't see one, however if you look Here it tells you under the Newcastle section we have, but on the up and coming fixtures further down there is no fixture at all for us?

Very interesting I hope this can go some way in our club being able to continue well into the future, all good stuff. A new venture which will hopefully help both clubs

Did you get this sorted out? As if not classic speedway videos maybe able to get it for you as they've got the rights if not message me as I've got most of GRT media DVDs but won't go against the above mentioned company unless they can't supply. Best wishes Mike

Very sad indeed to see this, but unfortunately not surprised good luck to all involved especially Rob, as a lot of people at the club know I only support Newcastle speedway so this would be a travesty for me to see my club go under. Sadly due to my physical limitations I don't see me returning to Brough anytime soon if ever, but rest assured I am still as passionate towards the club as I ever was. Best of luck Come on Newcastle speedway

Well in that case why did we risk him in heat 15?
