I doubt that the club have any influence on how the Try.booking site is set up.

Help raise £8000 to help save Newcastle Diamonds Speedway. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/newcastle-diamonds?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Yimbyprojectpage&utm_content=newcastle-diamonds&utm_campaign=projectpage-share-owner&utm_term=X4m4w6kAK&fbclid=IwAR0vkr_UTgpbcYVeLlAz-NE0L3NDFS8l_sT31Ct8cjlMVnEgZywQwnOJ1PE

If it's a Double Header the Diamonds HAVE to run first (rules).

Dogs run on Tues, Wed & Thurs nights + Fri and Sat afternoons. That leaves Monday and the only way we can do that is move up to the Premiership League (or whatever it's called).

Average too high to guest away, but with the 5% it's OK for home matches.

Taken off Facebook: Super Stevie Worrall will be back in the black and white next Sunday at 4.00pm when the former Newcastle favourite pulls on the No.1 Diamonds' race jacket for one more thrilling afternoon's racing. Ben Barker is, of course, still sidelined with the nasty hand injury he sustained on press day, and Stevie Worrall has agreed to take the guest booking when the Leicester Lions drop by in Championship action. Tickets are still available pre-sale online by visiting Www.trybooking.co.uk/BCCY Its another double-header with the Gems tackling the Lion Cubs in the NDL following the Championship clash. This is one not to miss... get your tickets and get along to cheer Steve Worrall leading the Diamonds for one night only. SUNDAY JUNE 20TH, 2021, 4.00PM... DOORS 3.00PM

Joe Owen Averages: 1973 Barrow 6.21, 1974 Barrow 7.36, 1975 Newcastle 10.65, 1976 Newcastle 11.54, 1982 Newcastle 11.01, 1983 Newcastle 11.10, 1985 Ellesmere Port 10.47.

Yes, indeed, but I did say IF they have to be replaced by a guest. Perhaps I should have said "If they are replaced by a guest", but R/R remains an option. God knows how that would work, if they remain on their *number from the start of the season!

No. They would go into the main body if their average meant they were 1-5 in the averages. The "killer" is though, if they have to be replaced with a guest, they can only be replaced by another Rising Star on or below their starting *number, is how I believe it works.

Yes, and the referee was listed as "Forename Surname"!!

I spelt it as it is spelt on the Website. Read the whole post.

Not 100% sure, but I believe it was Nigel.

Team Manager of the Gems.

Think you will find that Jason Pipe replaced George English and Darren Hartley replaced Jason Pipe in 2020. In 2021 Nigel Hinchliffe replaced Darren Hartley. So it's just two managers this year. Nigel Hinchcliffe now named as manager on the website. Hopefully they will correct it to the right spelling!

Somebody will correct me if wrong, as I'm not fully versed on the 2021 rules, but IIRC it's a tac sub ride is when a rider replaces another rider, but only gets the 'basic' pts (e.g 3 for a win), a tac ride is when a rider takes his own ride but points are doubled if he beats an opponent. But as I say, this may have changed for 2021.

Sorry to put you right, but here are today's (9th June) results from the BAGS Meeting: https://greyhoundbet.racingpost.com/#result-meeting/track_id=62&r_date=2021-06-09&r_time=11:13

I think you know..... but for the uninitiated, there are three reasons why not...... 1) his shoulder injury 2) he's now living back in Denmark and the most important one.... 3) Carol wouldn't allow it!!!

Who were the other three, then?

Line-ups for both matches here: https://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.38926

Average too high.

10+1, after a last in his first ride.

"The visitors in particular," which means some Birmingham riders weren't happy either. Also it says “On the day itself as well, because of the greyhound trials that were happening on Wednesday this week..." That'll be the BAGS meeting, that happen EVERY Wednesday and will continue to do so throughout the year, meaning the track staff won't get on to the speedway track until after the last race at 159pm for every home meeting this season.

Can you use cash to buy a programme/Race Day magazine?

But the track is rather important, is it not?
