  1. A bit like the Young Shield we had a few years ago then (apart from the weekend bit!)? It is rather ironic that the only reason Play-offs were brought in to the PL in the first place was that SKY said they would show the Final LIVE, then changed their minds. Despite the fact SKY show a few meetings through the season, they have no interest, it seems, in showing the 'important' PL stuff!!
  2. I would back any of our (Newcastle's) top 6 against Sissis at Brough Park everytime. I'd even say I'd back our top 6 at Ashfield, as well. If Garcia (and best wishes on his recovery, by the way) does need replacing, there are very few options that Glasgow can bring in on the Sunday for this leg. Tom Perry, Max Clegg, Richard Hall, Zdenek Holub, Daniel Halsey, Ellis Perks, Lee Payne, Ben Morley, Josh Bailey, Arthur Sissis, Nathan Greaves and Matt Williamson are the choices available. Of those 12, I'd say only two or three would be a decent choice.
  3. The forecast (MetOffice) for Sunday: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcybsr236#?fcTime=1477180800 AccuWeather : http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/byker/ne6-1/hourly-weather-forecast/2520435?hour=81
  4. BBC Weather says showers between 10 & 4 pm. I wouldn't get overly worried by that to be honest. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2641673?day=4
  5. Again, MetOffice site says it's fine: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcybsr236#?fcTime=1477180800
  6. Rob Branford has improved no end in the last couple of seasons IMO. I think he will only get better, but certainly won't get any worse and he'll only be 23 come the start of 2017. Roynon doesn't have a particular liking for Brough Park, so I wouldn't go anywhere near him.
  7. Met Office says weather is fine for Sunday at the min: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcybsr236#?fcTime=1477180800
  8. David Howe has retired. He has already said on Twitter he'd like to do just one or two meetings (speedway) next year, but is prob going to do grasstrack.
  9. They mean EL only. No riding in the PL as well.
  10. What happened, in my opinion, was that they lost Glyn Taylor (for whatever reason) and also lost the Swales's. On top of that, they changed the track slightly and ever since then the racing hasn't been as good. The same can be said of Derwent Park. Since they reshaped the track slightly, the racing I saw every week when filming or when I was there doing the interviews (for GRT Media), hasn't been the same.
  11. Do you not have to say the guest was awful, rather than the choice of guest was awful?
  12. Crash in heat 3. EDIT: Ludde just Tweeted this: Ludde Lindgren #77 ‏@LindgrenRacing 3m3 minutes ago Well done by The guys @diamondspeedway . Myself: I hurt my knee and had to pull out of the meeting. Hopefully will be better soon!
  13. So... according to the Rye House Twitter Updates... Matej Kus IS riding tonight.....
  14. Hans Andersen tried that a few years back, saying he hadn't been paid therefore wasn't going to ride - and was promptly banned for 28 days for withholding his services.
  15. Apperently Matej is at Brough on Sunday, not at Rye on Saturday (despite the line-ups on the Rye website says Kus is in the team!!). Sorry, Forgot Kus is Missing Saturday and not Sunday! They still might go R/R at 3 (I think I would), rather than switch Victor away from no. 2.
  16. Diamonds will go: Barker, Palovaara, Kus, Lindgren, Worrall, Morris, Phillips, in that order.
  17. Where's your 3 pointer? Or do you think that idea will be dropped next season? (serious question, not being 'funny' with you!). It's a nice little line-up mind.
  18. Would fans be willing to travel (and prob have to take extra holidays) midweek for 'Big Events' though? The Pairs is only well attended on a Friday due to Cardiff being the following night, I would suggest. The Fours, over the two days worked well, from what you read on here. So that'll stay for 2017 you would think. Would the PLRC be attended as well if raced say, on a Thursday, rather than the Sunday?
