StevePark replied to HadrianDog's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It's also Sheffield v Newcastle (as Sheffield are at home)!!!! Diamonds will prob be using a guest for Schrammy. -

Yes to both, but I don't know if we can redeclare for this Thurdsay (although Ben Wilson has been declared in Sheffs team for Thursday). We'd have to be quick to get Simon in for Thurs., if that is what George and his co-promoters have in mind. Edit: 48 hours before a meeting, springs to mind for any changes, but I'm sure someone will correct me if that is incorrect. -

Simon is more than welcome at Newcastle... -
Plymouth have dropped Adam Roynon and Roland Benko. In come James Wright and James Shanes. I know little about James Shanes. Will he do the business, or is it too soon for a PL spot?

Adam Roynon now available..... and Roland Benko...... -
Porbably to do with the bandwith, but I'm sure someone will give the ultimate reason.

He certainly likes Newcastle. I was talking to him in the pits during the meeting last Sunday and he couldn't explain how his Sheffield average was below that of his BP average! He loves that track at Sheffield too, by the way! -

Dodgy track? -

StevePark replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Not quite true, although I'm no expert by any means, but, although track prep might have something to do with it, the banking has been dropped slightly and that's why you don't get the same sweeping around the outside of 3 and 4 like you used to. -

Yes, but he was in the main body of the team on a 3pt average, the same as any doubling up/down 'Fast Track' rider, which, I guess, was Newcastle's argument? -
David Bargh and Mark Thorpe?

I don't think we could replace Schrammy with Lambert, without dropping someone else. If you make a multiple swap (i.e 2 or more riders) you then have to build to 42.50. Whearas replacing Schrammy you can bring in a 3.92 (or below) rider. Lambert, as I understand it (if allowed to ride PL & EL) would come in on around an 8.00. Kingy's new real average is going to be over 9 (I think). Anyway, this is supposed to be a Sheffield thread!!! -

I think someone has pointed out (on another thread), Robert Lambert is not allowed to Double up/down this season. -
Diamonds V Scorpions 29/6/14
StevePark replied to pyeman's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I really have no answers. I don't particularly like the bloke (I don't know him personally, mind, just the way he comes across), but Speedway needs a Barry Hearn type person to come in and shake the whole thing up. -
Diamonds V Scorpions 29/6/14
StevePark replied to pyeman's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Speedway needs to drag itself into the 21st Century and basically re-invent itself. It's been done by Cricket, Darts and to some extent Snooker and Speedway must do something similar to attract new fans, otherwise it will die an agonising death. -
Quite a few of the 'top foriegners' (current GP) don't even ride in the EL.

13. Trouble is they would be filled with NL, MDL & NJL riders at the bottom end.

Diamonds V Scorpions 29/6/14
StevePark replied to pyeman's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
He was just as bad (perhaps even worse) on Friday night. Great team effort by the Diamonds last night. I'm still trying to work out if we were really, really good, or if the Scorpions were really, really bad. A bit of both I expect.
