To be honest, saying it was boring (maybe it was on that occasion) after only seeing one meeing there, is a bit harsh. If you'd gone, say, 8 times and saw 8 'boring' meetings, then, yes, you'd have a valid point. All I'm saying is that you can't really judge a track if you've only been the once.

Thet don't come around that often though. It's only 2 years ago we 'unearthed' Lewi K, so to expect another might be asking a bit much. Not impossible though. It's similar to all the top notch Danes we were getting in. It had to end eventually and did. The worrying thing is, we don't have too many of our own assets to call on, so will be forking out Loan fees. I'd say bring in a 7 pointer and get another asset on the books and hope they aren't a Konopka or Palovaara.

And the away fans, many of whom won't be travelling this week, despite making the (part) journey last week.

Why do you think it's a "joke question"? All I'm asking is, if they could do the scheme I mentioned in my earlier post for the Redcar/Glasgow Double-Header, why not do it for this one?

Shame. It'll be interesting to see how many Diamonds fans make the trip North this Friday, seeing as last week Edinburgh said "It's three o'clock and sunny and the match is definately ON," (three o'clock being the time fans would have been thinking about setting off), only for them to call it off at 6 o'clock when the travelling fans will have been most of the way there. Then to put it on as a Double-header and charge £27 and for fans to have to fork out for fuel for the second week running. So in total, some fans will have spent nigh on £100 (if not more) over the two Friday's (add on to that food, Prog costs, etc.). So what's the difference between Redcar/Glasgow and Newcastle/Peterborough?? And you wonder fans are walking away from the sport!

Daft question, but what if you only want to watch one of the matches? Did they not have some kind of arrangement for the Redcar/Glasgow Double-Header, that if you were there for the first match, you paid full price, but, if you left before the second match started you got refunded some money by showing your ticket on the way out? Likewise if you turned up only for the second match you only paid the normal entrance fee? Is there a similar arrangement for this Friday??

I think that is why we are on first! Build a big of a lead as possible against us, and, all things being equal, it shouldn't matter about the second match as it should be a formality, but a bit risky if they have engine problems or, God forbid, any injuries in the match against us.

Re-arranged for 7pm Fri 10th Oct as the first part of a Double-header with the League Cup Final 2nd Leg vs Peterborough. Diamonds match on first. http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100331 Edited to see if link works!

Newcastle Diamonds : Largely disappointing. Team began to gel, but too late to make the Play-offs. Injuries played a minor part.

And, according to the Edinburgh website, Scott Robson is making a comeback (they must have been reading the Berwick E-Newsletter!! ). http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news/article.asp?id=1844

Lewi Kerr has Tweeted he has done his scaphoid and his season is over. Meanwhile this statement is now on the Diamonds website concerning the date "move" from the 5th to the 12th Oct. http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100328

Newcastle will need a guest as Lewi Kerr has Tweeted he has done his scaphoid and that his season is over. Gutted for the lad. Hope the weather forecast improves!

It worked for us at Berwick last year (Lindgren replaced by McKinna)!!!

I'd only have Starke in as a reserve. Similar to Lewis R, who would be my personal choice. I'd certainly steer clear of Covatti (even on that average). I'd have Simon N back, or, if fit, Chris Mills. A lot depends on who is at the top-end average wise, and what the team average will be (although I think they should leave well alone and keep it at 42.5).

Berwick tweeted that Matty Wethers was guesting for Glasgow this afternoon, but didn't say who he was guesting in place of.

Well what can I say? I asked both Promotions on Sunday and both said it was a 5pm start (Colin Hamilton even gave me the explanation for the start time, as I've said earlier). So believe me if you want.

Depends what the limit is! No good speculating until we know the what the League structure(s) are for 2015.... and more importantly, you know what you've done, don't you? The next 20 pages or so filled with teams from DIAMONDS!!!!!

I wouldn't worry. As I stated in my earlier posts the BSPA website (as of this minute) is saying 1500hrs and the Diamonds website is also saying 3pm! I mentioned this to George on Sunday, so hopefully it will be rectified.

It's wrong! (see post #22)

The reason it is a 5pm start is because Glasgow have riders riding away on Saturday night and it allows extra time for them to get back for the start time
