George (English) has just tweeted to say Ludo has declared himself fit to ride at Somerset tomorrow.

Really? No mention from Mr Denham about the money he has lost by very late postponements, when, in one case in particular, all he had to do was listen to an experienced rider (and visiting captain) to try and salvage the meeting. Feel sorry for the Worky fans, riders and Jacko. I used to love my trips over to Workington. Let's hope someone can come in and take over and run the show properly.

Paul Starke for Steve. Mason Campton in for Monarchs. See here:- http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100081

Knee injury (according to his Tweets on Twitter).

Not according to the updates site!

Claes Nedermark guests for Aarnio, I hear.

According to the 'Chronicle' "Craig Cook is set to return to the Monarchs side." Link:- http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/motorsport-news/newcastle-diamonds/2012/09/15/craig-cook-in-the-mix-as-diamonds-aim-to-overthrow-monarchs-72703-31838549/

Ricky Ashworth has admitted defeat for the season and so Seb Alden will be Berwick's representative.

Also Ty Proctor and James Grieves "are among the riders set to contest..... "

That's certainly what George English told me when I interviewed him for the Newcastle vs Plymouth DVD! Wouldn't be the first time a rider is announced to ride in an individual meeting at Redcar and not even been asked!

If you have two (or more) out, then you have the choice of which you use R/R for and which you bring in a guest for. I guess the way of thinking is we are better off using R/R for Ludvig, which means Lemo can take an R/R ride, as well as Palm Toft, Christian and the two reserves.

R/R for Ludvig and Michael Palm Toft guests for Richie (source George English after match interview for the Newcastle vs Plymouth DVD!). (I also THINK he said Paul Starke again deputises for Steve)!

Unless Glasgow finish bottom of the PL, they will have the 7-12 positions Play-offs to ride in (no idea if it has even got a name!).

Thought it was great that when Fisher finished 3rd in his second ride, he came back into the pits and punched the back wall and yelled out in frustration. It just goes to show he's still got personal pride. As Tsunami said, let's hope the takeover is successful and Plymouth can race on, without Mike Bowden at the helm.

Paul Starke is the Diamonds guest for the injured Steve again tomorrow.

Updates should be available here (Newcastle website):- http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/live/. Also Berwick Twitter feed usually update.

Paul Starke guests for the Diamonds

Paul Starke once again guests for the Diamonds (source Sheffield website).

Cheers for that. Paul Starke guests for Steve (source 'Speedway Star').

Ned will probably get 7 rides a match. I don't think it makes us stronger to be honest. The R/R rides will only be Ned, NL guest reserve and Christian, so the NL guest will have to take 4 rides, rather than the three with a guest for Richie. If R/R is at No 2 then Christian will be the R/R in heat 8 (as Ned is already in the race, providing he is at No 7, of course). If Richie is a month away, he could come back for October, so he could be back for the likes of some of the Play-offs, the League Cup final and the KOC final (if we reach them, naturally).

He's said on Twitter not for another month, at least.

It's now on the Diamonds website as a 'Newsflash'

According to The Journal, Rider Replacement for Cookie. Adam McKinna has Tweeted he needs a Mechanic for tonight, so I presume he guests at reserve for the Monarchs. Marcel Helfer (again according to the Journal) is fit to ride.

Was originally booked as guest, but as Tsunami points out, things change (including your name by the looks of it).

Stu Robson ruled out. Rene Bach replaces him at number 1. Mason Campton in for Richie, with Brendan Johnson guesting for Steve,
