And some Haggis.

The term ‘square sausage’ pretty much does what it says on the tin, but for context, instead of being put into casings like traditional link sausages, the sausagemeat mixture is formed into a block and sliced to make more of a ‘patty’. So what about the name Lorne? Well, this history lesson can double as a quick geography lesson too, because Lorne is actually the name of the ancient region of Lorn in Scotland, now part of present-day Argyll & Bute. No-one knows for sure, but among other theories, it is thought that the first variation of this Scottish favourite may have originated here, giving the breakfast classic its name.

Hotel booked weeks ago for the challenge, just hope the rail strike is not still on going.

Cannot fathom the remarks from Worky “fans “ , very strange, must be jealousy.

Would prefer something a bit more subtle ie "Dan Bewley" 99 in Black, Grey or Blue with no photo or maybe just a motif, oh well.

Swindon might be back, Edinburgh might be lost.....Workington might be back in the junior League ?

Not sure but there are plans to put in two 600 seat stands.

Sad news for the fans and the riders who are now out of a job. Dwindling crowds and a team that was not competitive in the Championship.

Diamonds reveal new rider and give injury updates Photo by Colin Poole The Newcastle Advance Fire and Security Diamonds, in association with SecuriCorp announced this afternoon, another change to their reserve duo, allowing Jack Smith to concentrate on his Polish commitments and racing in the SGB National Development League for the Belle Vue Colts while bringing in Kyle Bickley, recently a surprise release from the Berwick Bandits Championship side. Newcastle owner, Rob Grant said: "When we became aware that a young rider like Kyle Bickley had become available, we had little hesitation in making the approaches to bring him to Brough Park for the Diamonds. He will continue to fulfil his racing commitments to the Berwick Bullets NDL side, a side he very successfully captains, while coming to our Championship Diamonds, and his inclusion will certainly strengthen up our reserve end where points have been a little lacking of late. "We pass on our massive thanks to Jack Smith for stepping up, and wish him very well for the future, and also would like to point out he is fully understanding and is fine with everything. Kyle will be in our side at number seven, for our next match at Plymouth on Tuesday and he's really looking forward to the challenge, also really keen to get racing on our newly refurbished track surface which has been complimented be everyone who's seen it and ridden it since the work was done. Kyle also, I should remind folk, scored an impressive 7+2 on his last visit, so we know he can do it at our place. "That night at Plymouth, Paul Starke also makes his return to our colours after his ongoing injury and having Starkey back will add some vital fire-power back into our side while Matty Wethers won't be back just yet as he has reported back he feels he'll need another week or two to complete his recovery from injury and we will use Ashley Morris as a guest for him on Tuesday, while Bradley Wilson-Dean has issued another sick note for a month, and with no solid eight or nine-point rider available to come in to replace him at the moment, we have no option but to continue to use the rider replacement rule or bring in a guest at number one until he returns to racing." With no home meeting this weekend, after Tuesday's SGB Championship match at Plymouth the Diamonds roadshow moves on to the Redcar Bears on Friday evening and then back home to the Newcastle Stadium (Brough Park) on Sunday when the Poole Pirates are in town, led by former Diamonds Steve Worrall and Danny King, along with the high scoring Richard Lawson, and once again it will be tapes-up at 4.00pm. 2525

Does anyone have a definitive plan.

No.

Kyle Bickley, replaces Jack Smith.

I think both Leagues would collapse if Bomber got injured.

04/05/1980 Workington 20 Newcastle 58 ....how times change...I was probably there , Worky had some big home defeats that year.

Mark Lemon has serious concerns about the make up of the Leagues in an item in this weeks Speedway Star.

Stripes Tigers I think.... Heavy rain forecast for Friday morning, clearing in the afternoon .

and Broc Nichol, hope Kyle gets fixed up with a team place soon.

Start time delayed to 3:15, track work.

Sorry to go off subject for a moment but it seems that the TRNSMT music festival is on in Glasgow on the 9th July, same day as the GB v ROW meeting. Hotel prices through the roof.

Another very tough GP challenge , hopefully Dan and Robert can make it through!

Could be next year....sorry

Given the right conditions at clubs the sport may survive , running on a day when fans want to attend , a track that is fit for racing and adequate facilities . As Steve Lawson alluded to on a recent podcast , give the riders a decent track to race on and they will most likely entertain the crowd, it really does not matter what level of rider either . He was also against tracks made to fit around sports pitches, eg rugby, football and defiantly no stock cars. Now I realise there are many tracks in use today that are used in conjunction with other sports and we have to live with these. The only tracks I regularly visit now are Glasgow and Belle Vue which provide good racing and decent facilities on a regular basis. Although Glasgow disappointed a few times , maybe not their fault , about three or four years ago Birmingham turned up with a woefully weak team and last year I attended the Leicester fixture which had to be cancelled before a wheel was turned in front of decent crowd because of track problems (early afternoon rain ).

Chris Harris guests again, reminds me of my time at work there was always one guy who would never turn down an overtime shift, he would say "yes whats the question!" Nothing against Chris , just think he is going to burn himself out.
