Chewbacca

Another great showing from Lewis Kerr

Hoping to keep it to -10. I'm Kyle will enjoy being a Diamond again for the night.

We can only hope that is the last of the Rough Park cracks from down the A19. An absolute disgrace

I expect Plymouth to win at home but not by enough to prevent a Diamonds aggregate win

Diamonds to win again but much closer than last time 44-46

In the short term teams can cope with R/R but when Newcastle have Richie, Robbo and Lindgren regularly riding EL, these guys are going to be cream crackered by June. We'll welcome Andrew back with open arms believe me.

Various programmes given to me a while ago. Whover collected them seemed to like memorial meetings!!

He has had very good nights at Brough in the past and given a couple of weeks to dial in mind and machine I'm sure Andrew will average 8 at home

The second semi has certainly gone into my top 5 races ever. Awesome stuff.

Some of the track grading was because Newcastle riders had two on the trot due to rider replacement. It's a tactic seen all over the country. Agreed that it was a poor meeting with races generally settled from the gate. The whole meeting seemed a bit odd as Newcastle were obviously thrashing Workington all the way through only for the Comets to have the chance of a point in heat 15. The wonders of tactical rides eh?

Two very strong sides now. Aarnio likes Brough and if Harrison and Bach click this could be real toughie for the Diamonds

50-40

I'll be there. Let's hope it's warmer than the night of the Ben Fund meeting. I thought I was going to die.

Wrong

Feel free to criticise............when it's justified

Josh Auty and David Howe good enough for you?

Some of the tractor racing was due to riders having two on the trot due to rider replacement. Two fairly gentle slide off's and junior losing control barely deserves the Rough Park epithet. I take it no-one has ever fallen off at the the Scunthorpe wonder speedway?

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

Comets to win 50-40

I said last Sunday that I can see Kerr pulling in a 5 point average by season end. Looks tidy.

Yes, did well in the latter heats. Great show from young Lewis. Gives us a good chance on Sunday.

One of those nights when everything goes wrong. Can only hope they all get home with no injuries.

Not our happiest hunting ground. 51-39 to Scunthorpe

Very little passing as the Diamonds were in front by the first bend most of the time. Pretty much all positive again for Newcastle but what happened to the Matej Kus who scored 13 on his first visit to Brough Park? Maybe he doesn't like the super smooth surface we have these days? Very encouraged by Lewis Kerr's last two rides. Gave Wilko a good race for 4 laps in one of them. I reckon he will easily hit his average and may well be 4-5 by seaon end. Anyone got any ideas why Richie stopped and then started again in ht13?

Seems they can be
