Tsunami Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Not really going to be hard to beat is it, the way we are going at the moment. Things will pick up believe me. Anyway in the meanwhile we have this fantastic meeting to celebrate our 80 years Anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Diamond Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Looking forward to this meeting will be a nice break from team speedway with the season Diamonds have had so far. Hopefully some good riders to finish the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some good riders to finish the lineup. I'm hoping that the last 2 to be named will be released tonight at the home meeting against Scunny. It makes sense if they have been signed up.

Tsunami Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I see in last nights programme that old boy Will Lawson is in the field for next Sundays 80th Anniversary meeting at Brough starting at 5.30pm. Unfortuntely Glasgow are riding against Edinburgh and Redcar are at Newport otherwise it would have been great to have riders such as Parks, Grieves, Proctor and Fisher. Only 2 more riders names to be released and we have the full field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seedef27 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Two good riders to fill the last two spots cant wait for sunday. And as a footnote i would not rule out either of the aforementioned 2 walking away with the cash but they will have to get past Bjarne or JayKay 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLSDiamond Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well the field is assembled and the adverts are rolling out on the local radio. Lets hope alot of old fans / new fans and fans from other tracks come along and hopefully witness some cracking racing from some of the sports elite. Roll on Sunday. Is anyone from other tracks coming along ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone from other tracks coming along ??????? Unfortunately both Kenneth Bjerre and Krzysztof Kasprzsak have had to withdraw - due to their Polish League clubs' re-arrangement of fixtures that had been rained off earlier in the season. Travis McGowan comes into the field to replace one of them - with the other replacement announced shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Pity about that because it would have been great to see Kasprzsak for the first time at Brough and of course to have seen KB return as a GP star now. Never mind these fields regularly change and McGowan is no mug. As GLS has said, it would be great to see old fans back for this one and hope that everyone is trying to bring others to see a classic field riding for the biggest pot ever at Newcastle for a championship meeting. Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 With Leigh Lanham now in the field, I know of 2 daughtas who will be very pleased to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hannibal Thomas Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Cannot believe we have lost the two best riders from the field, how unlucky are the great Diamonds fans this year? Would have been great to see the master of Brough Park who learnt all from Juul defending his turf, letting the opposition have head starts only to win by the length of a straight - hopefully we will see you at the place with the muck soon Mr Bjerre!

mike7164 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I also must add I am really looking forward to seeing Leigh Lanham back at Brough as its been a few years since he's been there with Arena and usually flies round our track do you not fancy being a No 1 for us Leigh? And also as a sponsor of William Lawson who started his career with Newcastle I would just like to wish him the best of luck for the meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
