I hope for Workington Speedway's sake, that the crowd is considerably better than it was last week against Newcastle.

1997 in the PL

That's the worst crowd I have ever seen at Derwent Park and, apparently it was better than the last couple of meetings. It doesn't bode well for the future for my "second team." A few decent races tonight (especially heat 13) and two points for the Diamonds. It's a shame we've started to do well away from home when the season is all but over!

Withdrew guesting for Ipswich in the second match of the Double-Header at Edinburgh tonight. Hope just precautionary?

Why?

Perhaps it's time for a re-fill then?

Heat times: 1. 73.3 2. 77.1 3. 72.7 4. 75.3 5. 73.0 6. Not run

re-arranged after original was rained off.

Josh Embleton is tonight's number one.

Josh Embleton is Diamonds Number one tonight.

It was: (Copied and Pasted off Diamonds Website): so with the Newcastle club having no option other than to re-arrange fixtures to get caught up with a fixture backlog then scheduled fixtures take priority and Lambert will be in Poland for their end of season play offs

It really does make you wonder why we bother sometimes.

It's under new ownership, so who knows?

You would have thought so, but you forget one thing.... this is speedway...

I'm guessing, because there is no facility allowed, it will be an NL 2.00pter.

No, as in the last line of the quote from Alan: "The British authorities have tried to assist us but there is nothing in the current make-up of the rules which would ease our predicament."

Website says (Copied and Pasted from there): This unfortunate scenario is down to the priority of fixtures according to the International Speedway League Board so with the Newcastle club having no option other than to re-arrange fixtures to get caught up with a fixture backlog then scheduled fixtures take priority and Lambert will be in Poland for their end of season play offs. Newcastle co-promoter Alan Hedley said, "We have to get these fixtures raced and this Sunday is an unfortunate consequence for us. Just to be clear we are not releasing Robert to go to Poland but the ISLB have given priority to his Polish club without any recompense to our club." "The British authorities have tried to assist us but there is nothing in the current make-up of the rules which would ease our predicament."

What about the Newcastle fans that were there? How do they get some recompense?

Abandoned after 10?

What have Scunthorpe riders got against track staff???

The article was written on Wednesday/Thursday of last week. Things change. George was interviewed by Roy during the break for the air-fence repair (during the Newcastle v Scunny match at Brough Park on Sunday) and he said it was "Kevin Doolan and Aaron Summers at Scunthorpe, Danny King and Kyle Newman at Peterborough and Ricky Wells at Berwick."

He's riding for his Premiership club, so Scunny allowed a guest.

That is what we were told at Newcastle tonight

Thanks for that.... think I'll give it a miss....
