dantodan Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Speedway began at Brough in 1929 on this date 17th May 1929 86 yrs ago, check out the history website www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk Newcastle Speedway is fairly unique in speedway, we started in 1929 and have never had a change of track, not many tracks in the land can boast 86 yrs at the same location. Newcastle did have another track based at the cities Gosforth Park but they ran alongside Brough Park so cannot by confused with "The" Newcastle Speedway which has always been Brough Park Newcastle Lewis Kerr Anton Rosen R/R Steve Worrall Christian Henry Ludvig Lindgren Simon Nielsen Lewis Rose Edinburgh Sam MastersErik Riss R/RKevin WolbertJustin Sedgmen Craig CookMax CleggRobert Branford Unfortunately I will miss this match as I will be in Croatia for a holiday with my family.

erniew Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I too will miss this one, visiting family in Berkshire. Unfortunately, no Reading to go and get a fix. Hope it's a cracking meeting with the Diamonds coming out on top, and no injuries please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIS002 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Think the D's won't be as lucky as last night. Safe meeting for all but see a 6 to 8 point away win for Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping for a 'Diamonds' win - but - to be honest I am not expecting one. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Masters, Wolbert and Cook could win this on their own Newcastle put on a decent show up there with a 3 man team, but hopefully the rest will turn up at home and take the win,,, our reserves need to be on their game, and the other one too ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Both me and Barry Wallace were at the first meeting, John. Bet you bought Barry a pint and are still waiting for him to get you one back Sunderland 17 year old Gordon Byers won the first ever race at Brough Park on 17th May 1929. Unfortuately Brough closed down in 1930 so you and Barry were out of work until Speedway came back to Brough in 1938. Edinburgh started in 1928 at Marine Gardens, Seafield Rd., Portobello, Edinburgh so the Monarch beat us by a year! Can't be at this match cos family comes first. The match promises to be a cracker. I hope to see Cookie and the others later when they ride at Brough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Tough one this hopefully though we can get at least a point from the meeting. Can see both teams top 4's scoring around the same it will come down to the reserves IMO if Erik can pick up any points it will be a bonus.

jackofdiamonds Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Cook is allowed to get a few tonight as he is in my fantasy team. I expect Newcastle to take the points. Ever the optimist . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
