Redcar Bears V Newcastle Diamonds Premier League, Thurs 31st July At 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Here we go again, Boro v Newcastle. The Diamonds are going great guns at home but are not so good on their travels.

 

Lewis Kerr will miss the match due to lopping the top of a finger on Sunday at Brough. That is a big blow as the Diamonds will miss his points. I presume it will be R/R on Thursday for Lewi?

R/R for Lewi K. Craig Cook for Danny King.

 

Will Mark Lemon be riding for the Bears, or a NL guest?

It means that everyone below him in the averages and one above can take his rides--thats how it works,you should know that as Newcastle use it alot!!

 

I think you know exactly what I meant :D . How do Redcar get a facility, when I'm pretty sure in the past, no facility was made available?

As per discussions on another thread re averages it would appear to be another "lets make a new rule up that isn't listed anywhere!!"

 

I can't recollect this scenario actually happening in the past, so when are you thinking of when facility wasn't granted?

Why hasnt King got a true average now?

 

He gets a 'proper' average on 1st August (9.06). His original 11.18 average is classed as a 'converted' average, rather than an 'assessed' average, apparently.

I thought it happened a couple of years ago when he rode for Newcastle? Could be wrong though!

Don't remember it, but with BSPA may well have happened!

 

Back to Thursday obviously r/r for Lemo is better than a NL rider, but still probably weakens the Bears. Kerr missing does on paper weaken Diamonds, but he was poor at Redcar earlier in season.

Cook will strengthen Diamonds, although I was looking forward to seeing King, who knows he might have got a max, but Cook will score heavily.

 

IMO Bears are favourites, but match will depend on Lindgren (who could score anywhere from 3/4 up to 17/18) and Rose plus two reserves, if any of these gives Cook and Robbo good support then Diamonds may nick it.

 

Lets have a good track, decent weather and a good, safe meeting :D

We might scrape a point for a narrow defeat.

 

What has the track been like the last few weeks? Last time I was there it was bare as a badgers bum.

Unfortunately not been for 3 weeks (holiday then ill) but before that it starts good but rapidly loses dirt from inner half leaving a fast line round the boards (airfence)

If I remeber correctly, Proctor took ages to get a 'proper' average, due to call offs etc., but can't remember when he actually got one and after how many meetings.

Er Steve how do you know a badgers bum is bare!. :nono: wot have you been up to?

 

The Diamonds 2014 are a strange side. It has been hard to forecast any result. As we have not been going well away from Brough I sadly say Redcar to win this and us looking for the odd point. The Cookie Monster will do us proud I am sure and if he ever gets sick of Armadale we will have him for a career move
