HadrianDog Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hopefully I have not missed a thread buried somewhere else. Strangely silent on here re. the testy for who was a regular and well liked servant of Newcastle speedway. Any further news on this Sundays meeting from the Diamonds faithful would be welcome just to keep the event in the light of day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) There's a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/953218208059266/?active_tab=posts Not on facebook and have no intention of every going on it. (but that's just me!!!) I believe it is a 4 team event with (Newcastle, Edinburgh, Kings Lynn and Glasgow represented). Havelock, Screen and Loram as team managers plus another I guess, Christian or George??? (might be wrong on this!!!) - is Christian even riding in his own testimonial???? Admission if £16 but not sure if this is a flat rate for all, more info would be helpful i.e. are kids free or cheaper, concessions etc. Riders are I believe: Robbie Kessler Peter Carr Anton Rosen Brent Werner Stuart Robson Daniel Nermark Joe Screen Mark Lemon Ross Brady Steve Worrall Derek Sneddon Rene Bach Kevin Little Jonas Jensen Andre Compton Robert Eriksson Richard Juul Ludvig Lindgen James Grieves Lewis Kerr Ricky Wells Bradley Wilson Dean Erik Riss Kevin Wolbert Lee Payne George Stancl Will Lawson Paul Starke Jonny Swales Please feel free to correct me if I am incorrect on any of the above.

Add to that list Gary Havelock (Prob a manager) Jason Garrity Jason King Andrew Tully Scott Robson. As for the admission prices, the prices are as for a PL match. Season Tickets are NOT valid and the Online and card payment facilities are also NOT available, as it's not an official Diamonds fixture. Hope this helps.

Also I believe turnstiles open at 1:30pm and first race is 3:00pm. Prizes Raffle Christian Henry's wife as a grid girl I believe Rob Grant's Hog roast!!!. I hope he gets the weather for it, it's been pretty crap leading up to the meeting but I think the sun is supposed to come out on Sunday, would be nice as I'm sick of freezing my unmentionables off on the terraces!! What are the usual admission prices at Brough, I don't pay as I usually get in through a hole in the fence!!!

Terrace Grumbler Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well, I have persuaded my boys to come from London and Leeds for the day to see this - it will be brilliant to see these guys on track again and I just hope Christian gets good weather and a bumper crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8scot Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 We have a good few coming down from Edinburgh and I wish Christian a "day to remember for all the right reasons" I well remember when he first arrived in Edinburgh in shorts and flip flops and had us all running to find him some warmer clothes........... great guy who has suffered some awful accidents which prevented him showing us consistently what a terrific rider he could be Good luck lad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I very much hope Christian enjoyed his afternoon as much as we did. It was good to be reminded of what a cracking rider he was, and we spent some time reminding ourselves of the season when he was our #1. It was also heartwarming tosser the legends again: they all have a place in Diamonds' supporters memories. What we could not do however is name all the riders on the team photo in the photo gallery in the programme (the one with CH on the bike). In particular, who is in the no. 3 race jacket? While there may have been a heartwarming tosser or two on the terraces his afternoon I'm blaming auto spell correction and needless to say I meant to say "heartwarming to see". Sorry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably best not to ask why your auto-correct chose 'tosser' to replace 'to see'. Hope Christian had a super day.
