We could have, but I'm guessing George will have already switched R/R to number 2, which, if we went with guest at 2 and R/R at 3 for Robbo, putting Lewis R into heat 14 with a reserve (or not giving Lewis R an R/R ride), which could make us a bit weaker in that race (in my humble opinion, of course).

Not condescending at all (and quite how it's "a typical response" I don't know). A genuine question. Pablo thinks it's a poor choice, but gives no alternative. Looks like the Update site has spotted their error and now have R/R for Lewi K.

Your choice would have been who? Just out of interest.

Simon Lambert guests at reserve for the Diamonds (info courtesy of the Sheffield Tigers website).

Theoreticaly the 'red card' is already available to referees. It has been implemented in the past (not very often, though).

I hope so, as he guested for us last week!!

I'd welcome Simon Nielsen to Brough, if Schrammy is going to be out for a while and Nielsen was to be released by Sheffield.

I could be wrong (I'm sure someone will correct me if I am), but I think the rule was brought in after Simon Green flipped doing a practice start at Newcastle during the Parade lap and had to withdraw from the meeting due to head injury.

I made that comment before knowing the extent of the injuries (as DIAMONDS did). And his girlfriend has since put on Facebook it might be that Lewi "is back earlier than we thought."

Quote (Taylorj) Mmmm. Newcastle is slightly bigger than Workington And? The question was asked if there was only one ambulance and one doctor at Newcastle on Sunday night. I was just pointing out that there was two ambulances and three docs. And anyway.... size isn't everything!

Do you not think it a good idea to wait to see how long, potentailly, Lewi is out for? Might only be a week or two.

Two ambulances (as is standard at Newcastle) and three doctors, actually. Delay was whilst Lewi was treated on track.

Correct. It was last Sundays weather. I'll let Tsunami explain, as he knows more about it than I do and is probably better explaining these things. You just have to have the dig don't you? You can't just congratulate him and leave it at that, can you?

Might have something to do with a certain footy competition being held in Brazil?

Newcastle race Berwick and Edinburgh twice H & A.

Sorry. I should have highlighted the bit in your post which said about a 4 heat match was proposed, but rejected.

Indeed. Everyone should have known that, especially if it was going to possibly effect their business.

Scunthorpe away will only be Danny's 3rd away match. His 4th away match will be at Sheffield on the 17th July (providing Scunthorpe goes ahead, of course).

And you wonder why we haven't got loads of talent coming through.

The fixture should not have been there in the first place. Everyone knew that England had a World Cup match on that night when the draw was made on 6th December 2013. That's the whole point.

Nicely paraphrased from what I said on that thread.

So, you reckon a minority sport, watched by thousands, should try and compete against a major sport watched by millions? There's only going to be one winner there. It would be madness for Redcar to run against the England game, especially if England could qualify from the Group stage, which is why the fixture should have been an 'Open' fixture on the fixture list to begin with, rather than realise the crowd would be poorer than normal, just a fortnight beforehand.

Given all Sheffield's postponements at Owlerton recently, they might not have a choice but to run that night (weather permitting, obviously!).

The World Cup fixtures were known the same night as the draw was made on 6th December 2013. No excuses. This is shoddy (to be kind) by Redcar. Then you wonder why crowds are falling.
