No Lanham, he has tweeted that Ippo have told him to look elsewhere!!

I'm sure he scored a brilliant 15 point maximum for the Diamonds against the Bears at STMP a couple of years ago as well (I think)!!

I would have thought a "big-hitting No 1 to spearhead the team’s Premier League charge next year" and someone "he’ll go out and get 10 points every meeting,” said Havelock" won't come cheap as well as rider that will turn heads so maybe the money is in place??? Maybe he has found a pot of gold somewhere or he is paying them with hopes and dreams. What about David Howe, he generally rides your place well??

Had not put them in racing order as would also swap Robbo and Rosen around.

I'll join in and add my teams in, will probably never happen but here goes: 1 R Bach 7.85 2 S Robson 7.20 3 A Rosen 7.00 4 L Kerr 6.09 5 R Lawson 8.28 6 R Lambert 3.00 7 S Worrall 3.00 Total 42.42 or 1 R Bach 7.85 2 S Robson 7.20 3 A Rosen 7.00 4 L Kerr 6.09 5 R Wells 7.81 6 R Lambert 3.00 or Chris Schramm 3.52 7 S Worrall 3.00 41.95

Will never get Nick Morris after his comments on Twitter, he hates Brough Park!! How many teams is this you have compiled, your fantasy league bill must be enormous!!! ha ha

That team will do for me, Not sure of his average but Ludvig might be swapped for Henry?? Lambert is the big one, if we can get him might be a good partner with Worrall and no doubt will spur Lewis on as well, not that he needs it. Hopefully Lewis can convince Lambert that a move to Newcastle would be a good idea, fingers crossed.

Great result for the Diamonds last night in a hard fought match between two very good sides, with riders from both sides having off nights. As people have said, our Play Off Final hopes are in the hands of the Bears now. Nice constructive criticism of Newcastle's track last night by Morris, with further comments by Holder and Rosco. NOT!!!!

I agree with a few who have said he should have gone a year ago and I could not understand why you brought him back again this year. If you do not think you can make the playoffs and I am not suggesting you can't but last nights defeat will make it difficult, you should try and get someone in now, maybe an assessed foreigner so he is ready for next year. Or you could try Palm Toft, can't be any worse as to be honest, Kus is woeful and has been for a long time. Good Luck in the search.

Yes good performance 10+1, have checked scores from previous weeks and he is averaging about 5 points with a couple of zero scores, looks a handy signing. Looking forward to seeing him have a spin next week after the meeting.

Have to agree with you on that one, was the highlight of the meeting as far as I am concerned, that and C Henry's paid max. Lawson did run Richie wide in one race and it made him more determined to make sure it did not happen again, seemed to be some needle between them, but lead to some good first couple of bends between them. I have to agree with Robbo in his after match interview when he said Christian was on fire, everything just seemed to click for Henry and he seems to be in a good bit of form. Ludvig still seems a bit lacklustre to me and the partnership with Tully seems a bit hit/miss. Still can't fathom how Richie Worrall is not riding in SWC and Kennett is!!!! Its a mystery. Stayed for the junior match afterwards and was very impressed with the Comets mascot who did a few laps during races, very very impressive, anyone who his age and how long he has been riding?

More like "Glass Houses" and something about "throwing stones". If they do have a big delay again this week, people will probably start voting with their feet, if they have not already!!!! Should be a good meeting though, Ippo appear to be the form team away and Redcar are quite handy at home. Away win by 3-4 points.

Think George may punch the air with delight if we pass 35 and do a friggin dance if we pass 40. Hopefully not a massacre and we can keep it close.

Will be a real test this one for the Diamonds and as is so often the case, it will depend which Diamonds team turns up. The races between R Worrall, S Robson and C Cook should be box office and the Monarchs demonstrated what a good team they are with the away win at Somerset (which I heard was a cracker, did not see it myself). We have a good solid four in Richie, Robbo, Ludvig and Henry and good backup with Tully who hopefully can show all the Monarchs fans what they are missing. Hopefully Kerr can continue his good form and Steve can start to get some points on the board, his lack of point scoring is becoming a concern. Ludvig for me needs to find some form away from home (and in general, seems to be scoring OK in the Elite!!!!) and fast and put the disappointment of a poor showing at home to Ipswich behind him. I think that the Monarchs will progress into the next round but I only expect it to be via the narrowest of margins over the two rounds. Good Luck to both sets of riders and here's to an injury free meeting.

Think I might have too as I have cancelled my Sky Sports subscription, bloody typical. Suppose I will get to sample those great chips after the meeting as well.

Congratulations to the Diamonds :t: http://www.speedwayg...hp?extend.19218 http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100106

Its all over twitter from a number of riders which probably means it is true!! Hopefully ESPN will take it up, otherwise I will have to try and find it somewhere on the internet.

Your about the 3rd person I have heard say that, any truth in it, makes u wonder, hope not, would like him to get back to the rider he was.

Hopefully this will not have too much impact on the Diamonds and supporters. http://www.newcastle...e.asp?id=100103

I hope they have someone else lined up incase he has a change of heart or does not come through this fitness test. I assume they will want him to have tried some competitive racing before the start of the season or are they just letting him put himself through his own fitness test? If it is competitive racing, not many matches he can get that in, mainly testimonials. I just hate this waiting lark.

Wonder what is taking so long for them to announce #7. See we have announced a new sponsorship deal/hookup as well. Good news!!! http://www.newcastle...e.asp?id=100102

I have just been looking down the Diamonds fixture list and notice that we/they are staging a test match on 18th August 2013, should be interesting and hopefully get a big crowd!!!

All corrected now, hope everyone can sleep now, I know I will be able 2!!!!!! :-o

What!!!!!

I see Richie warmed up nicely in NZ with 5 rides and 5 wins. Well done Richie. :-)
