  1. I’m sure Birmingham won’t pick anything up from Glasgow , so it looks like the top six will Nigh on be sorted but in what order ? , also the cut off dates has already been extended so I don’t know the availability of Birmingham stadium due to the dogs and the weather
  2. Fans from the opposition going on about how poor the track was etc here is evidence to prove that the Poole camp were beaten before they went out on track and simply didn’t want to race . Scunthorpe v Poole heat 1 winning time 58.71 on as Poole fans saying a track which was dangerous and needed work doing to it before they would race Scunthorpe v Leicester the week previous heat 1 winning time 58.63 , not a lot of difference on a track that Poole didn’t want to race on and whose team manager was totally inept on the night and in fact embarrassed himself .
  3. It will only get wetter in October you will have to ride all sorts of tracks
  4. Basso rode well , I’m as afraid Poole we’re beat before they started they didn’t fancy it from the start . Also people calling our guest but Kasper was quality from the start so much so I went into the pits on the way out and shook his hand and you could tell he enjoyed his self out there well done Kasper and all the Scorpions Tommy 4 ride maximum and Simon a load of points from reserve the Pirates ship definitely sunk tonight
  5. If Schlein has tested positive for covid from Wednesdays home match surely there are mechanics, management staff and riders who were in close contact with him this week . So what is the protocol from a sporting event with regards people in close proximity ???
  6. Really think after Kings lynn announcement tonight that it’s going to be two leagues again then the championship needs a tweak . The last month there has been 4 home teams riding on a Friday ,which is leaving teams with injuries or riders missing due to other reasons a massive shortage of guest riders. Something has to change ie 1- limit the amount of teams that can ride on a set race night 2- allow riders from the top league to have a conversion average so they can cover absent riders in the lower league There will be more options I’m Sure that we will need to explore
  7. Could Mountain cover for Stef for Poole don’t know his average
  8. Hope he scores like he did on his visit with Glasgow when at Kent 12 paid 14 from 5 rides , could really do with a point minimum
  9. Anyone have the official teams expected for Tuesday night please
  10. Can any confirm is there cut off dates for the playoffs in the league in the Premiership and Championship . Im sure the top league is straight semi finals followed by the Final ,but it’s the top two in the championship we’re they will play the winners from the 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5 th playoffs ?? Thanks in advance
  11. Disappointed with the result and the track tonight ,our heat leaders were off tonight and the track only really had one racing line but we were beaten by the better side and all riders returned to the pits safe ,. Well done to the Lions and Dougy was superb , we go again and need an away win in the next week
  12. Ben Barker was the guest upto last night but has withdrawn so it’s now Connor Mountain
  13. There is parking on site £1 charge ,should be plenty of spaces and two turnstiles in operation one for pre bought tickets and one for cash . Allow yourself plenty of time as our promotion run to start time as usual , i know recently there was Redcar fans still coming in after the first race . Snacks and drinks available in the ground entrance is a one way system in and out from the 2nd bend ,viewing is allowed all around the track ,hope this helps
  14. Can anyone confirm Nick Morris is out for tomorrow’s clash at Scunthorpe ? If so who will be the guest ? Thanks in advance
  15. Have the riding line ups been announced yet as I’m sure Nick Morris is missing ? thanks in advance
  16. So What’s the crack with Aarnio will it be a guest ? and will our riding order change for Friday night
  17. Would love an answer on this from Dandelion , a few facts 1- Rob Grant got caught out on a few things the previous promotion had listed and Rob went with his heart on his sleeve and has come unstuck . 2- Running a junior side was a suicide decision from day one 3-How has the Speedway Promotors shafted Newcastle Diamonds and it’s promoters 4- The underlying issue here is there hasn’t been. the footfall through the gate to see the Diamonds survive these tough times 5- Has anyone asked for a lower rent from the owners 6- Can the local council help ?? All the above are not Rob Godfrey and his cronies fault as you call them , still awaiting a reply from my previous comment. Dandelion ??
  18. A couple of things ,sad that Grant and Tattum are giving there promoters licence in .But why do fans blame Rob Godfrey instantly yes he promotes at Scunthorpe but surely the number of people paying through the turnstiles is the main problem here , also I don’t think Rob Grant had done his homework on Newcastle as he inherited a lot of debt from previous owners etc.Dave Tattum has promoted elsewhere and knows speedway inside out so why between them did they put such an unattractive side which was well below the points limit is beyond me . Newcastle is a town and club steeped in Speedway tradition from when the great Ivan Mauger rode for the and the Owen brothers . So to me the problem is the Diamonds only form of income was through the gate and sponsors as they didn’t own the stadium and payed a rental to the owners and could not gain any other income unlike other clubs who get bar takings and food outlets etc , This is directly the problem that modern day speedway faces ,as well I for certain Dont know what riders earn per point so have Newcastle payed riders over the odds to these riders with points money and expenses?. One last point in there first season running a junior side was a massive mistake and won’t have brought no income in what so ever . Let’s hope someone comes in and saves the Diamonds
  19. It’s looking like one big league next year , Rob Grant has had nothing but bad luck and he can hold his head high
  20. If Aarnio is suspended next Friday , his average isn’t the greatest plus there’s other teams racing on the same night won’t help in getting a good guest ,I’d be tempted to get Aaron Summers from Berwick
