  1. I asked Victor in the pits tonight and he said both he and Ludde were at Sheffield on Thursday.
  2. Wolbert (or did Roy say Fisher?? !!) for Steve, otherwise 2-7 unchanged from tonight.
  3. How both see it: Sheffield: http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2112 Newcastle: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100567
  4. Kus, I think, will be on World Cup duty for Czech Rep, so will miss the Semi Final (don't know about the second day IF we get through). Great to come away from OTA with a League Point and fantastic to see Danny getting 5+1 (however he got them). Let's hope that's the confidence booster he needs.
  5. R/R for Steve Worrall: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/speedway/newcastle-diamonds-toughest-away-fixture-11613513#ICID=sharebar_facebook
  6. Sorry, but that is wrong on so many counts. For a start, had Josh Bailey ridden Brough Park before? Would Lewi Kerr have come back for a second season if he hated the track?
  7. He started off fine, though, it's just in recent weeks he has found points hard to come by. Last night he made a couple of good gates and went into the first turn in either first or second place, but by the start of the back straight, was at the back in one of them, but did battle well in the race he scored his point in. He's been scoring OK for Stoke in the NL recently, but, for whatever reason, hasn't been able to transfer that at PL level.
  8. Connor Mountain rides for Mildenhall, who also ride on a Sunday, so would he want to step up virtually full-time?
  9. Because, for some bizarre reason, the BSPA agreed to this rule! The way I see it is this (in my opinion, of course) and I say this regards any team effected, not just because it's Newcastle, Robert Lambert was never going to be riding last night for Newcastle. He withdrew from the meeting at Coventry through injury, not the Newcastle match, so the Diamonds should have been allowed the guest last night. On Friday at Somerset, should RL still be out injured, then it should be R/R as he is unavailable to ride for Newcastle (and all subsequent meetings for both clubs). It's like saying last night at 7.30pm.,"It's raining at Coventry, so tonight's match at Brough is postponed"!!!! It's doing the guest out of a pre-arranged (and booked in good faith) booking and therefore extra income and, more importantly, it's short-changing the fans (again). But, seeing as we were making the rules up as we went along (heat 15) last night, what do you expect?
  10. Facebook page says "Latest News Is Captain Lightning Ludvig Lindgren Will Be Able To Ride And Lead The Side Tonight."
  11. Depends what you mean by experienced. Wilko has been riding a heck of lot longer than Howarth has. Kyle started in 2009 (at least made his debut then), Wilko made his debut in 1997!
  12. Yeah, completely overlooking the FOUR rain-offs we've had, which is technically five, as one was a double-header.
  13. After all the recent call-offs, the last thing Newcastle Speedway needs is another call-off.
  14. Ludvig rated "very doubtful" for Monday http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/speedway/newcastle-diamonds-bring-glasgow-pair-11591631
  15. That's hopefully going to happen over the winter and, indeed, steps are already being discussed.
  16. No problem. With all the rule changes (most of which they don't tell you about!), I was unsure too, which is why I asked George English on Sunday if we were allowed a guest or not!
  17. Guest allowed (or R/R if the club wants to go that route). He's riding for his EL club, so rule is a guest is allowed.
  18. It's to stop riders deliberately lowering their averages to be able to drop down to the PL, I believe is the reason behind it.
