Don't think Newcastle will challenge for the title from what I saw yesterday, but they are a definite for the play offs

Berwick team did the same at Rye last week. Love the new touch at Rye House where the team walk around the track after the meeting to thank the fans. It all started at the start of the season when the parade truck couldn't get going and team manager Peter Schroeck just took em out on the walk instead. No idea if the truck has been repaired yet, but many of us prefer it as it is now.

Maybe she's the next Newcastle team manager in training?

It's a shame I can't make Glasgow this year. Haven't been for ages since they changed the fixture of our Northern Tour Sunday meeting from Glasgow to Newcastle.

Little bit of gossip. I heard Robert Lamberts mother was ejected from the pits mid meeting. By whom, or for what I've no idea.

Both away meetings at Sheffield & Peterborough were victims of rain offs I predicted a 8-10 point away win before the meeting and was fearful when I saw Lambert take care of Kennett in heat 1, but the stop start nature of the meeting (mainly due to Newcastles impatience at the gate) and poor return from the Diamonds reserves didn't do them any favours. An inspired heat 14 by Lanham & Lykke put the seal on a surprise, but welcome win. Kennett back to his best and trump card Kasper at reserve were the difference. Can't remember the last time I saw a rider have 6 bonus points in a meeting. Leigh Lanham with a useful return, but it was Cam Heeps turn to have an off night. Wasn't expecting it to be as dramatic as the Berwick meeting, but the numerous restarts didn't help with the flow of the meeting. Steady drizzle from about heat 6, but the rain became heavier as we pulled away from the car park 15 minutes after the meeting had ended. Someone said Lambert rode around the tapes while heading to the start of heat one, an exclusion under the new rules. Anyone else notice that?

What's happened to the moderation on this forum. Shocking filth that

Clouds quite high. Can't see any significant rain for a while. Not many here unfortunately

looking towards track from our back garden (we're half a mile away), the sky looks pretty dark

Cheers. Saw he was RR on Thursday and thought he may be injured

Not this one anyway

Me too... Will whizz through the GP before the football highlights. Is Palovaara riding?

The long bar has been demolished. The top bar is inadequate.

Curfew?

Just looked at the forecast, rain all day

Three of the Rockets side were at the track testing yesterday. Do any of the Ipswich lads use the track for practice during the week? Are they allowed access to the stadium?

That was an option I'm surprised they didn't take up

I don't think this promotion have the same mentality.

Bandits sign a Brit? Surely not

You shouldn't have to with the team you've put together

What all this fuss about forks? Use yer bleedin fingers!

Strangely, Dave Stummings (a frequent critic of the BMR promotion) seems to have disappeared from this forum and Rye House Fans Facebook page in the past few weeks

Pretty sure Kevin Doolan was rounding the final couple of bends when the race was stopped bizarre decision

Hummel swooped across the Scunny rider on the last bend (can't recall who) very similar to a move Josh Auty made on Tyson Nelson a few years back to give the Scorps the win by a point

I was with them the entire meeting. I didn't hear them abusing start marshals. The referee definitely
