Doubt it,but if supporters come up with a decent sum of Money up front,you never know.Personally think he will be glad to get out of the sport it’s just not worth the hassle nowadays.IMO.

IMO the only chance of Diamonds would be Rob Grant to continue and be backed by all the fans who support the survival.As Rob is saying he’s out,that’s it finished.

R/r and promote juniors,it works fine in Poland,at least they are watching their own Team,win or lose.

Granty is straight forward regular guy,he gave it a go but it didn’t work.Good luck to him in the future and hope his business sees him alright again.

On what I witnessed tonight,I feel this season’s fixtures will not be completed unless the riders change there attitude.You won’t get much better weather conditions at this time of year to start a meeting.There is no point of asking for track work to be done 1 hour before the meeting starts.A cloud in the sky will be enough to cancel.Everybody knows the cold weather makes tracks difficult and skating rinks when slick.

In Poland a rider from each Team goes out 1/2Hr before meeting starts to access track condition.Why is that not done here,or is digging you heel in the track tell you everything.Joke!! Dan Thompson made them look stupid.The other had no intention of even trying.Heard a few disgruntled regulars saying they have had enough,which is not good news.

I agree,that was farcical,Cook digging at the entrance to 3rd 4th bend during track walk.Howarth had no intention of riding from the off.Speedway is a dead duck if meetings can’t be run on that track on dry night with no chance of any more rain. Before the track grade.Why do they never just run a few bikes round to turn the dirt over instead of removing it all and making it farce.The Ref’s are scared to make a decision and listen to much to everybody.That should have either been called off before a wheel was turned or they should have just got on with it.

As good as any I suppose,but let’s be honest don’t think Barker and Granty are seeing eye to eye these days.Condolences to Dave Tattum’s family,he did a lot for the sport and will be sadly missed.

You couldn’t make it up.Only in Speedway.

Excellent Post.

Though he had the problem that a lot of second half riders had in these days were the tracks were always slick at the end of the meetings,but when they went into the Team in Ht2 the track was always still much grippier than they were used too,and they generally struggled.They tend to do better nowadays on the slick tracks for today’s modern engines.Remember Mike well.
