scaramanga Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 There's been some bad performances from riders nearing the end of the season. The promotion didn't allow for a meeting tomorrow, as, if they were out of the KO comp tonight, there would not have been a fixture to run. Now we have meetings with Ippy, presumably with Ippy on Thursday and our final meeting with them next Sunday. Pray for no rainoffs. i think first leg is saturday at ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Well done Newcastle, Palm Toft winning reserve race and heat 14 was vital. Hope you win final, good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Well done to the lads tonight, especially Robbo, Ned and Toft. Robbo was back to his brilliant self and definitely has not lost it, his heat 15 race with Roynon was worth the admission alone, I think its more to do with his bike as at Brough he seems to go backwards when out in the dirt. I would definitely have him back as second heat leader but we will have to wait and see. With Lemon he seems to be going downhill rapidly, his main strength was his gating and is missing the start every time or getting pushed out and just sits on the line for 4 laps hoping for a mistake. A good turnout of Diamonds fans tonight, it was a good atmosphere and the riders came out to thank the fans. Lets hope for the same at Ipswich Edited October 20, 2012 by Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 First thing, glad we are back in 2013. Well done Newcastle on the aggregate win at least Worky went out of a comp on the track, the Comets were so close to going on to a final. Got to say the race between Roynon and Robson in ht 15 was superb, one of the best races seen at DP, well done to both riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Agree it looked gone after heat 12 but for once we held our own in heats 13 and 15, albeit it heat 15 didn't matter. Robbo winning heat 13 was the key. That hasn't happened nearly enough this year but credit to him he did the business tonight. Someone mentioned he was on a new motor tonight. If that's true I wonder how significant that could be. I'll be very interested to see how he rides against Ipswich in terms of 2013. Credit again to Ned. He's been an unsung hero for us this year, particularly in the second half of the season when we really needed it. Of late he's been our best rider more often than not. Would be happy to see him return next year. We have had some luck in this semi. Had Rene ridden last week Worky may well have gone through but given our luck this year we'll take any breaks. Assume MPT will be the guest again in the final. Both teams look very evenly matched to me with no real big hitters and one NL reserve each. Should be a good contest, hope the weather doesn't spoil it. Won't be the guest in the second leg for two reasons 1) The 8-day rule and 2) Scunthorpe are at home to Somerset in the Second leg of the PL PLay-off Final. Well done lads in getting through!

Well done lads in getting through! 8 day rule can't apply surely? Don't suppose it matters though if Scunny are riding.

ciderman Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Anyone feeling low or wondering where this great sport of ours is heading and thinking I've had enough, why do I go? Had all the answers to their doubts last night, Heat 15 was purely Speedway at its best (Adam, Robbo if your reading this take a bow). Two riders racing fairly, giving it some , passing, re passing absolutely thrilling to watch, if their were 15 heats of that, the stadiums would be packed. Thanks guy's fo restoring my faith and making me realise why I love Speedway! Just a shame there aren't more like you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorj Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Workys string of bad luck carried on in heat 14 for Tero, otherwise we had the very good chance to go through to the final , I guess both teams have had bad luck this season though so can't be too disappointed. Newcastle finished top of the league so derserve silverware too, good luck against Ipswich 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show you cant assume how races might go and that it was right to call the result against the Witches as it stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
