Oops! How could I forget our last (up to now) PLRC! I was thinking more of ex-No.1's still riding, so left out the likes of Paul Bentley, Jesper Olsen, Mario Jirout, Jason Lyons and the likes of George Stancl, Paul Thorp, David Bargh, Mark Thorpe etc., and also left out riders still riding for the Diamonds.

Before this thread gets totally buried down the list - it was announced last Monday that "several invitations" had gone out to former Diamond No.1's to race against Danny King for the "King of Diamonds" Trophy. Who would you like to see racing for the trophy? Names I have come up with are (in no particular order): Nicki Pedersen, Bjarne Pedersen, Kenneth Bjerre, Pepe Franc, Steve Boxall (!), Mark Lemon and Richie Worrall. I don't know if any of the above are riding in Poland on the day, though. The only (as far as I can see) rider riding on that day in the PL that can't make it will be Rene Bach, as Workington are at Glasgow, unfortunately. These are riders still riding. Have I forgot anyone?

Who Will Make The Playoffs ?
StevePark replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not necessarily. We were due at Berwick last week, when they changed it to a Double Header with Rye House and they put Rye on first and the Diamonds had to go second. -
That would depend on when they say the ban starts from. They could say a six month ban, starting in March 2015. They could ban him for two years, with 18 months of that suspended, so, effectively a six month ban, but, if he doesn't learn from that and he has more misdemeanours in the two years, tell him he will be thrown out for good. He then might learn from it (not guaranteed, I know).

Who Will Make The Playoffs ?
StevePark replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Newcastle only have 2 matches left, Peterborough at home and Edinburgh away, so the maximum they will probably get is the 3 home points off the Panthers, as I can't see us getting anything (except a hammering!) at Edinburgh. -
Cheers for the info.

Probably on the other side of the world, as Darcy was 16/17 when he first came over to England. I Don't know if either or both parents came over with him then, though. Perhaps someone can confirm.

Berwick V Newcastle August 23rd
StevePark replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Clearly, decent scores are replacing poor/low scores. -
He might have deleted it?

One rule for Poole - another rule for everyone else?

He admitted to having a drink or two the night before. That doesn't neccesarily mean he was over the limit. I'm not saying he was, or wasn't, as I have no idea as to how many drinks he had actually consumed (and nor does anyone else, except those who were in his company all night). But that is an argument they could well put foward.

Sell out, or go t*ts up - simple choice.
-
'Dodgy testing equipment' could be their argument.

The difference (between Lewis Hamilton and Darcy Ward) is that Lewis Hamilton wouldn't.

It's turning into another farce - that'll be Speedway and farce in the same sentence...... Who'd have thought it??

Berwick V Newcastle August 23rd
StevePark replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Really? You think I care? Nearly every one of them has a mistake in them somewhere. It comes down to laziness (not checking what has been written properly), or a "I don't care" attitude, which, in my opinion, brings the club down a peg or two, from what the club are striving to achieve. For instance, I have read this post 3 times, to eliminate simple errors. Perhaps the person(s) doing the E-Newsletter should do the same. -

According to the same Newsletter Scott Robson was involved in crash with Lewis Kerr...... -
Berwick V Rye House (pl) - Now 23/8
StevePark replied to Mimmo's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Possibly because, if they got injured in the first match guesting for Rye House, it would mean Newcastle would be stuffed for the second match? -
Berwick V Newcastle August 23rd
StevePark replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Thanks for clearing that up. Just that everytime I've been to Berwick and there has been a delay it was always "we are awaiting the County Ambulance to arrive to take the rider to hospital." Then a delay while the said rider was being transfered between ambulances, etc., etc. -
Berwick V Newcastle August 23rd
StevePark replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
All it needs is someone to need a trip to the hospital (God forbid that happening) in the first meeting to scupper that cunning plan, though, unless Berwick have a 'proper' ambulance at the track this weekend. And, with very little time between meetings, God knows what the track will be like for the second match. -
But, how heavy will the book be? Will it be a paperback or a hardback?

Nicki P exceeded his assessed average (I think!) as he ended up on nearly a 10.00 ave.
