Really think after Kings lynn announcement tonight that it’s going to be two leagues again then the championship needs a tweak . The last month there has been 4 home teams riding on a Friday ,which is leaving teams with injuries or riders missing due to other reasons a massive shortage of guest riders. Something has to change ie 1- limit the amount of teams that can ride on a set race night 2- allow riders from the top league to have a conversion average so they can cover absent riders in the lower league There will be more options I’m Sure that we will need to explore

Could Mountain cover for Stef for Poole don’t know his average

Hope he scores like he did on his visit with Glasgow when at Kent 12 paid 14 from 5 rides , could really do with a point minimum

Thanks

Anyone have the official teams expected for Tuesday night please

Can any confirm is there cut off dates for the playoffs in the league in the Premiership and Championship . Im sure the top league is straight semi finals followed by the Final ,but it’s the top two in the championship we’re they will play the winners from the 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5 th playoffs ?? Thanks in advance

Are the teams published yet for tomorrow earlier start match

Disappointed with the result and the track tonight ,our heat leaders were off tonight and the track only really had one racing line but we were beaten by the better side and all riders returned to the pits safe ,. Well done to the Lions and Dougy was superb , we go again and need an away win in the next week

Ben Barker was the guest upto last night but has withdrawn so it’s now Connor Mountain

There is parking on site £1 charge ,should be plenty of spaces and two turnstiles in operation one for pre bought tickets and one for cash . Allow yourself plenty of time as our promotion run to start time as usual , i know recently there was Redcar fans still coming in after the first race . Snacks and drinks available in the ground entrance is a one way system in and out from the 2nd bend ,viewing is allowed all around the track ,hope this helps

Why ???

Can anyone confirm Nick Morris is out for tomorrow’s clash at Scunthorpe ? If so who will be the guest ? Thanks in advance

Have the riding line ups been announced yet as I’m sure Nick Morris is missing ? thanks in advance

Is Leon flint available

So What’s the crack with Aarnio will it be a guest ? and will our riding order change for Friday night

Would love an answer on this from Dandelion , a few facts 1- Rob Grant got caught out on a few things the previous promotion had listed and Rob went with his heart on his sleeve and has come unstuck . 2- Running a junior side was a suicide decision from day one 3-How has the Speedway Promotors shafted Newcastle Diamonds and it’s promoters 4- The underlying issue here is there hasn’t been. the footfall through the gate to see the Diamonds survive these tough times 5- Has anyone asked for a lower rent from the owners 6- Can the local council help ?? All the above are not Rob Godfrey and his cronies fault as you call them , still awaiting a reply from my previous comment. Dandelion ??

A couple of things ,sad that Grant and Tattum are giving there promoters licence in .But why do fans blame Rob Godfrey instantly yes he promotes at Scunthorpe but surely the number of people paying through the turnstiles is the main problem here , also I don’t think Rob Grant had done his homework on Newcastle as he inherited a lot of debt from previous owners etc.Dave Tattum has promoted elsewhere and knows speedway inside out so why between them did they put such an unattractive side which was well below the points limit is beyond me . Newcastle is a town and club steeped in Speedway tradition from when the great Ivan Mauger rode for the and the Owen brothers . So to me the problem is the Diamonds only form of income was through the gate and sponsors as they didn’t own the stadium and payed a rental to the owners and could not gain any other income unlike other clubs who get bar takings and food outlets etc , This is directly the problem that modern day speedway faces ,as well I for certain Dont know what riders earn per point so have Newcastle payed riders over the odds to these riders with points money and expenses?. One last point in there first season running a junior side was a massive mistake and won’t have brought no income in what so ever . Let’s hope someone comes in and saves the Diamonds

It’s looking like one big league next year , Rob Grant has had nothing but bad luck and he can hold his head high

It’s a match we must win

If Aarnio is suspended next Friday , his average isn’t the greatest plus there’s other teams racing on the same night won’t help in getting a good guest ,I’d be tempted to get Aaron Summers from Berwick

Kemp is going to Kent apparently

Sad as it speedway will keep on losing teams unless they start promoting the sport , too many people thought due to the pandemic and nearly 18 months without speedway the fans would come flooding , How wrong they were

Sad day for speedway , I think we all knew what was happening as the silence was deafening

So basically season over for the Eagles then , as it’s the 24/7/21 now and I’m sure to qualify for the playoffs it’s deadline for results is mid September and the playoffs are going to be run straight away . So as a speedway fan would you come and watch fixtures which sre virtually null and void to the league table . I think at best for the eagles is re group and get a strategy ready for the next season in April , I wish the directors and management team good luck in there quest to continue

Can’t even get on Eastbourne’s website what time was the announcement planned for ?
