Connor Mountain rides for Mildenhall, who also ride on a Sunday, so would he want to step up virtually full-time?

Because, for some bizarre reason, the BSPA agreed to this rule! The way I see it is this (in my opinion, of course) and I say this regards any team effected, not just because it's Newcastle, Robert Lambert was never going to be riding last night for Newcastle. He withdrew from the meeting at Coventry through injury, not the Newcastle match, so the Diamonds should have been allowed the guest last night. On Friday at Somerset, should RL still be out injured, then it should be R/R as he is unavailable to ride for Newcastle (and all subsequent meetings for both clubs). It's like saying last night at 7.30pm.,"It's raining at Coventry, so tonight's match at Brough is postponed"!!!! It's doing the guest out of a pre-arranged (and booked in good faith) booking and therefore extra income and, more importantly, it's short-changing the fans (again). But, seeing as we were making the rules up as we went along (heat 15) last night, what do you expect?

Because he was injured

Facebook page says "Latest News Is Captain Lightning Ludvig Lindgren Will Be Able To Ride And Lead The Side Tonight."

Depends what you mean by experienced. Wilko has been riding a heck of lot longer than Howarth has. Kyle started in 2009 (at least made his debut then), Wilko made his debut in 1997!

Yeah, completely overlooking the FOUR rain-offs we've had, which is technically five, as one was a double-header.

After all the recent call-offs, the last thing Newcastle Speedway needs is another call-off.

Could be R/R for Alex Davies, as he was injured today (Sunday).

Ludvig rated "very doubtful" for Monday http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/speedway/newcastle-diamonds-bring-glasgow-pair-11591631

That's hopefully going to happen over the winter and, indeed, steps are already being discussed.

Catch 22 Newcastle bigger away support, Scunny (arguably) easier tie!

I couldn't possibly comment.

No problem. With all the rule changes (most of which they don't tell you about!), I was unsure too, which is why I asked George English on Sunday if we were allowed a guest or not!

Guest allowed (or R/R if the club wants to go that route). He's riding for his EL club, so rule is a guest is allowed.

Coty Garcia for Lewis.

It's to stop riders deliberately lowering their averages to be able to drop down to the PL, I believe is the reason behind it.

Which Kurtz? Surely if it's Brady, he could have got back, as Robert Lambert was in the same meeting and he's managing to get to Brough for tonight?

Makes me feel old! Grandfather (Bob), Father (Michael) and now young Connor, I have watched them all in 2nd Div tier racing!

Trying to find out who the Devils guest(s) are! The Plymouth website appears to be down, so any news would be appreciated!

Eating Humble pie anyone?

Flying back. Diamonds at full strength http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/speedway/newcastle-diamonds-new-no-1-11552033

Stevie Worrall will be at number 1 for the Diamonds

Extra income during Stockcar meetings too, don't forget.

KOC MATCH Re-Arranged for MON 11 JUL (7.30pm)
