I am happy for our riders to be part of Elite League teams but how often are they injured and miss our fixtures. I know the boot can be on the other foot and he could have taken the knock riding for us. Its an occupational hazard but hard to bear for the riders other team. Enjoy your enforced absence Lewi I hope you don't suffer any lasting problems.

 

R/R will give our riders another 8 heats of practise between them before our League Cup campaign starts.

Yeah agreed Arson but the result is the same. After Sundays postponement I am looking forward to us getting off the starting blocks even though the Comets are stronger than the Bandits so it will be an even tougher opener

 

The Diamonds need at least one rider notching up heat wins in every match. Maybe Steve can do it? He had 2 wins at Berwick..If I were a gambler I would put my shirt on Lewis Rose coming good but I feel that it will be a few weeks into our fixtures when he settles into the groove.

 

Even though I think we have one of the weakest teams in the PL I am looking forward to the lads proving me wrong. if we struggle we will see some last heat deciders and they are always exciting matches although I would be happier with 60 points at home every week!!!!

slightly cool, but will be cooler when the big yellow balloon goes to bed. so wrap up...

Wont be at this match tonight, or many other's for that matter, as working conditions take their toll on what's left of my social life? :cry:

 

Newcastle dont look particularly strong this year but they do have an annoying habit of riding well over ere no matter whom they bring!!

 

Still looking for a comfortable home win to make the 2nd leg a bit easier so I'll go for a 55-35 outcome and everyone finishing in one piece!! :D

As a Diamonds fan I have to say we look weaker than the Comets. Our riders can win races but maybe not consistently enough> Much as it pains me I can only put this match down as a Home Win if it was on a pools coupon.

 

But come on Diamonds
