dantodan Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Newcastle v Edinburgh have always been entertaining contests. However the first leg at Edinburgh ended 34-56 to the monarchs and now the diamonds have a mountain to climb.

What about 2016.. I am really pleased to be discussing Newcastle speedway in 2016. Our crowds are not very big but obviously George and the promotion team think the support is good enough to continue. Who is the most successful Newcastle Promoter? Well Johnnie Hoskins, Mike Parker and Ian Thomas were great promoters but our current guy local man George English gets my vote. George has been in charge since 1997 thats 18yrs and counting. George is miles ahead of our other promoters in length of time running the diamonds without turning his back on us. Keep going George and yes I know he has a promotional team behind him but George has been an ever present since 1997 So what can we expect against the monarchs? I think we will be battling to win the meeting not the aggregate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulS Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 How about re-declaring the team, Rose for Henry? Could we get Robert Lambert in for Kerr just until the end of the year at least? Whatever the team, a 22 point deficit will be a big ask, fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert signed for Rye House about 3 months ago... And its probably too late to re-declare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulS Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Actually, isn't Lambert injured... Rose for Henry means only 1 guest needed for Kerr though and we will then have 7 riders which usually helps... Lambert signed for Rye House about 3 months ago... And its probably too late to re-declare. Ah yes of course deadline was 28 August wasn't it? But Lewis R still an option as returning from injury.

Terrace Grumbler Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Er...aren't we rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, gentlemen? On the basis that Sunday will very probably be the last meeting of the season, I have some important questions: 1. What happened to the George English Snr Memorial Trophy? It was always a good way to bring the curtain down; 2. Why isn't there a riders v. mechanics tug of war on the centre green? 3. Will the Key Draw ever be back? Seriously...I know money is very short, but on the basis they all bring decent travelling support, next season how about a Northern 4TT with Berwick, Glasgow, Workington and ourselves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't think we were going to beat Glasgow in the PL at home, and Sheffield having to pull back 25 points. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
