Well that was embarrassing!! Been going 39 years and can’t remember ever seeing us lose by over 60 points at home until the Poole result last season, but now it’s twice in 2 weeks. Maybe they need someone to advise them because anyone who thought bringing in poor Jack Smith in was a good idea is so bad it’s ridiculous. Yes we needed riders but if could not find a rider in this country, we had to try unknown Dane, swede or whoever to at least get wrighty back to reserve which makes us stronger all round. I totally agree about we need to find new track, Rob wanted that at the start but apparently now doesn’t, so we carry on at brough where no rider wants to ride apparently and are stuck to the same race night. Onto the Poole match we go…. All you want to see is a bit of fight and that was a disgrace tonight!

Can’t even get the basic things right man How can fans see things that they can’t!

A like for like swap was no good. If it was a 5 or 6 point average man to replace a reserve then fair enough.

Jack Smith replace George Congreve

2 good meetings with good racing. I felt for poor lad Vinnie Foord in 2nd match, never seen someone’s silencer fall off before and even came loose a second time. No wonder he wasn’t happy with his mechanic. It was very dangerous when fell off on first bend and the ref didn’t notice it until they had done a full lap and passed it

Strange decision after watching Ostrow.

You might need to edit that post to.. who is your team?

Rode for Rybnik today so doubt it

He’s an idiot.. That made sense

Shame our riders couldn’t ride it .. shambles!

Yes same team, awful crash. Nicki has put it on his Facebook. Nicki - Broken ribs and punctured lung. Rene- Broken femur according to Facebook

Good job Cami Brown and Glasgow aren’t there..

Highlights on Facebook some cracking racing and track rode well. None of crashes were due to track and the heat 11 one was rider error. Heat 10 great race which was 1 race before called off.

If it wasn’t for the obvious it would of been the heat to go on there.

The rider didn’t crash because he was avoiding the rut, he hit the airbag near the pit gate which is nowhere near the concrete line. Heat 10 was actually race of the season at brough as well with about 5 passes in the race.

One pass all night according to Cami Brown when there was about 5 in one race and all proper passes. I don’t understand why the ref waited til heat 10 then?

Obvs not on the track so not sure about hole on 1st and 2nd corner. Most crashes apart from Basso on 4th bend seemed mainly rider error and the last crash before the call off had nothing to do with track. The track tonight was no worse than last few weeks and actually better with the race between Wethers, Starke and Basso race of the season. If there were numerous complaints during the meeting why did the clueless Graeme Hunter wait until heat 10? It makes it look a farce and the meeting should defo of been completed. They said more grading was going to take place and then 5 mins later it’s off. Would Glasgow of been as quick to want it off if they were behind??

Not really could of took any of Wethers, Wright and Clegg out earlier on when weren’t doing great. When a rider is riding like that he has to have 7 rides yet our manager actually takes him out of a ride!!

People saying we didn’t know we were running etc and started team building late, we actually knew we were staying open on 24th September when some teams were still racing last season. Teams like Birmingham actually did start building their team late, we didn’t. We actually had 4 or 5 signed by end of October / start of November.

RIP Jim. Such sad news, did so much for the diamonds over the years. Thoughts to Julie and the family

Forgetting how woeful a performance it was from the diamonds, how shocking was it that they had a full back cover for Stuart Robson’s testimonial and only went and spelt his name wrong very poor! Legend of the sport and I am sure there will be much better racing next week.

Redcar away on 25th March. Nice early start to season.

So will you not be attending John? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family.

He is definitely a 4 point average unfortunately.

Our new reserve is on a 4 point average.
