Peterborough V Newcastle - Tuesday 29th April
StevePark replied to NeilWatson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
What has being in front of the Sky cameras got to do with it? Last season we went up to Berwick for the Sky meeting and had to bring in Adam McKinna for Ludde and we won! -
Berwick V Newcastle 26/4/14 Pl
StevePark replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
An iffy weather forecast for Saturday morning, let's hope it's wrong and stays drier for longer. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/berwick-upon-tweed-northumberland#?tab=fiveDay Could be a Berwick home win by 10 - 12 pts. -
Newcastle Diamonds Vs Scunthorpe Scorpions 20/04/14
StevePark replied to DIAMONDS's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So you're first quote should have said something like "what I have been told is"...... That is what you were told happened. -
Newcastle Diamonds Vs Scunthorpe Scorpions 20/04/14
StevePark replied to DIAMONDS's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
When did the chain jam? I only ask, as the bike coasted from the entry in to turn one until it came to a halt at exit turn 1/beginning of turn two, which is where Thomas left it. Also, why did team manager Dave Peet have a shouting match with Thomas when Thomas returned to his pit? -
What Does A Team Captain Do And Do They Make A Difference?
StevePark replied to jeff's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Add to that any problems with, say, the track conditions, it's always the two captains (and team managers) who are in discussion with the ref. -

The referees retiring age was extended two seasons ago. -

Certainly not the track. -
League Cup Semi Finals
StevePark replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It's done on Average of points. So the Total number of points divided by the number of matches. -
Newcastle Diamonds Vs Scunthorpe Scorpions 20/04/14
StevePark replied to DIAMONDS's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Christian is possibly the best 'No. 2' in the league at the minute. Why change it? -
Surely a Benefit Meeting for Ivan wouldn't be out of the question?

Edinburgh V Glasgow (lc) 18/4/14 @ 7.30pm

KO and League Cup didn't count (i.e only League matches used to count). -
Edinburgh V Glasgow (lc) 18/4/14 @ 7.30pm
StevePark replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think they brought it in this year. I agree with you. Stops early fiddling, especially for those on assessed averages. For others already on 'true averages', it doesn't really change much due to rolling averages. -
As the two posters above here correctly state, Steve asked to be rested, so, no, he wasn't sacked. Newcastle race on a Sunday (the same day as Poland), therefore a return to Newcastle was out of the question. He can still ride in all three leagues and help Richie in Poland, when fixtures allow.
-
He got injured. Then went NL to rebuild his confidence. For this season he wanted to help Richie out in Poland, so that ruled out a return to Brough Park. I for one am really pleased that he's doing well.

Top post, as per usual. More about the dreadful disease can be found here: http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/ I forgot to mention in my earlier post, that I have met Ivan on a few occasions, and had the pleasure of interviewing him at the final Exeter meeting. I found him the most approachable of people. A pleasure to talk to, he would give up his time without a thought. The word 'legend' can be overly used sometimes. Not with Ivan.

Newcastle V Sheffield (plc) - Sun 13/04 - 6:30pm
StevePark replied to ellioth4's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Ooops! I hope you will praise him for tonights performance. Beating Simon Stead (a true number one) 3 times. Well done the Diamonds. Hopefully we can carry that through to Scunthorpe on Friday afternoon (despite being without the 2 Lewi's). -
