    NEWCASTLE DIAMONDS 2022

    Honestly Probably best off posting this here as it is the Geordie faithful who need inspired... Not been to any meetings (anywhere) this season (so no idea) however even though it is difficult bringing in riders the following are not new to the league and would potentially improve the team IMHO. That is if they aren't injured and don't have serious Polish commitments; KKH is in the same team as Tero so maybe he is available to do the UK 2nd tier which I don't think the Pole's recognise as a serious league? (will stand corrected) and the two Swedes both have previous with Newcastle. Just depends on how serious the promotion are to be fair in wanting a change Any Takers Luke Becker 11.58 Norick Blodorn Poss 4.00 or 5.00 Ass (as still an assessed rider in the top league) Victor Palovaara 6.25 Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 Kenneth Hansen 6.74 Smetana and Skorja Ass 5's Drop 1; 6 and 7 for 19.76 points including left-overs Bring in Hansen Palovaara and Lindgren for 19.46 NEWCASTLE 1) Kenneth Hansen 6.74 2) Matthew Wethers 5.52 3) Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 4) Victor Palovaara 6.25 5) Paul Starke 6.27 6) Max Clegg 5.26 7) James Wright 5.06 Current Total 41.56 Remaining Points 0.44 Team Total 42 This pushes both Clegg and Wright back into reserve giving genuine strength in depth The figures need checking out but where there is a will (an all that) there is a way. Potentially a bit more expensive with flights and the like but what do the powers that be do? Keep on ploughing ahead under the current situation? New team manager has been mentioned; paying riders as per contract and without delay may or may not be an issue; get some spirit back in the camp!!! can they or will they just roll on under the current circumstances. As an interested bystander it will be very interesting to see what transpires... Regards THJ

    Hello Geoff Dan Bewley has had a spin round trying a new bike/engine out but that was before any fence posts went in and there have been visits from several other riders for a look see!!! however the first rider to go round the track will be Steve Lawson as he wants to set the official track record (even if that is only for one heat) Regards THJ
  10. Honestly Might not be the right place to post this but it does appear to be a "Hot Topic" at present Not been to any meetings (anywhere) this season (so no idea) however even though it is difficult bringing in riders the following are not new to the league and will improve the team IMHO.

    Hearing tonight from my old pal in Cumbria that Rene Bach broke his femur in Denmark tonight apparently. Oh dear... that's another one off Grantys wish list... Could Rene retire now? Kenneth Hansen could be up for it... same team as Tero in Poland and he does the UK... Just another name to throw out there because it seems that silly season has fired up again... Regards THJ

    Weather permitting I will get a few more this weekend me old pal... but it is going well and thanks for asking... Over 100 metal posts concreted in around the outside ready for the actual fence (and the air fence) and the pits gate got hung as well... Back this weekend and I will get a couple of snaps (which may include the seating areas with a bit of luck) Regards THJ

    Aye some of the fencing has gone in and once its finished I will stick some pretty pictures on here for all to see the latest progress but by all means call round for a look see and chat with the lads on site as they would love to hear your views Regards THJ
  18. Haha You can tell your a fan by the name @Bandits4eva To be fair and if I remember correctly you even converted a Rye House Fan... @Shadders All I can suggest is if you like to hold a grudge just drink Murphy's because as the advert always said you will never be bitter if you drink Murphy's... a grudge is good just dont be bitter about it... Nowt wrong with supporting your team through thick and thin as it takes all sorts... Keep up the good work... Nowt wrong with being a "Totally Biased Fan". . Been there done that and got the tee shirt... Regards THJ
