That would of made no difference Steve as in particular seasons 2001 & 2 we raced Monday with the exception of the Gems first season in 2002 who then raced at 2pm on Sunday.

What is the difference as either way he's still missing weather that ma be injured or doubling up? seems silly to me if any rider is genuinely injured!!

Well the next action we have is another encounter with the Redcar Bears neighbours of ours, at home after a two week break. Please also remember this is a rare working Monday fixture and as it is it sees a rare 7.30pm start time!! Is it confirmed yet an any riders missing I am sure I read on this forum that Steve Worrall maybe? Also do we know a date for the return fixture yet?

Thanks for that Steve.

Is that now confirmed it will be the 22nd? as it was announced by Barry in the box and George that they could not get a team on that day but it would be highly likely it would be on the 23rd at 7.30!

Well as I've started off the away fixture for our opening away fixture I thought I may as well do the return one too. Can we keep our good 100% unbeaten record going I do hope so?

Well I can't see this one off the mark yet so here goes. Well here we have our first away league fixture I hope we can put up a tighter result than when we were there in the Tyne Tweed Trophy last month. Any news regarding who our guests are as I understand it we are missing riders?

No it's not Ts and I should know as I started it The title is Newcastle Vs Workington

Just seen the press release on Kenni and I completely agree gutted for him as he was such a good ambassador for Newcastle Speedway alone & I wish him all the best & hope justice is served correctly. Hang in there Kenni!

Well less than 24 hours until tapes up & I don't see this covered anywhere so here goes. Can the Diamonds pick up another home win and at the same time gain revenge over the Comets for the defeat last week at their place!! I hope so!!

Correct IMO it is partly Newcastle's fault however as stated previously I don't entity leave the blame at their door as it's also to do with the way the sport is run so shambolically but in my view that matter is now unreversible. In my opinion that is not good enough as you can get and sometimes need more points on the road!

Whilst I accept what you are saying so far we have not fielded a full quoter of riders on the road and is starting to look a strong possibly we won't and will only have all our riders available to us at home which if is the case in my view is appalling, put that along with some of the other ridiculous happenings within speedway at the moment, for me to read that I'm supposedly being "judgemental" Hmm. To may I also note to Dave I in no way took offence at! Answers on a postcard please!! That was my point but of course in the world of democracy within Newcastle Speedway is not aloud I put my head above the parapet and say what I think and believe is always a sticky wicket!

Simple mistake that's maybe but you are mot telling me the sport is run correctly? and has no error of its ways! That is not only directed at Newcastle as the above post wasn't either.

God knows only time will tell what team we will end up with what a shambles the sport is in.

Is that correct as Fisher is due to ride for his own club at Berwick tomorrow according to the BSPA website?? Even though Our official website states the same as above post!!

Apologies as the info on the link has been modified after I posted that jackofdiamonds.

Not according to the link posted above taken from diamonds website!!

Is there not I don't know as I've not looked toontrader as I'm not going, well incase you did want more info then it was announced at Brough last Sunday its on the 17th April but please note its a 3PM Start time that day!!

Well this is our last home challenge match weather permitting of course, can we grab another trophy? it is also the last official home match until after Christian Henry's Testimonial. Come on The Diamonds.

Great thanks for clearing both issues up.

No as far as my understanding is regarding the 14th League cup fixture is that goes ahead but originally we were due there two weeks in a row, ie last week & this week? Please correct me if I am wrong!!

Not putting any riders down Andy & yes well done to Lewis too, however I still put Steve as top rider of the night as we've all seen how far he's come on and from where.

Man of the match for me Stand up Steve Worrall, rewind back about three seasons ago he couldn't stay on the bike when going around bends 3&4 tonight rode like he'd been there all his life well done that man. Reminds me a bit of a young Stuy Robson when that first started to click in for him!

He said: "It was really frustrating because we were riding so well, we would have go to heat ten if we had got a move on during the meeting. There had been quite a few falls throughout the meeting and with the added rain it just would have been too risky to carry on. "I was absolutely shocked when the referee stopped the race during heat two but Danny done superbly to go and win it again. We will race the second leg on Sunday and that will probably be it because I can’t see us restaging this. We take lots of confidence from tonight and look forward to another win on Sunday." I hope this helps!

Whilst I partly do agree with both posts above I do still feel strongly that if a fixture is put in weather it be a challenge or official one I still think you are charging money for them & not even a reduced amount for a challenge or meaningless match, nor in many ways do I think you should as the costs are the same whatever the fixture, but I do think all fixtures are or (at least should be) classed as official.so there for go in the book as completed not, Not waste of time and can't be arsed to be restaged!! Just an opinion.
