mike7164 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Well I can't see this anywhere and considering it takes place tomorrow here goes. It sees us in more Knock out cup action for the second home meeting in a row, as we take on Sheffield tigers in the first leg. Riders order now as both teams official websites listed. Newcastle Diamonds 1. Steve Worrall2. Victor Palovaara3. Matej Kus4. Ludvig Lindgren5. Robert Lambert6. Lewis Rose7. Danny Phillips Sheffield Tigers 1. Simon Stead2. Dimitri Berge3. Jonas B Andersen guest4. Kyle Howarth5. Jason Garrity R/R6. Arthur Sissis7. Nathan Greaves Edited July 17, 2016 by mike7164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Without Garrity I forsee Sheffield getting quite a few points behind in the first leg, probably too many to get back, especially after the way the Diamonds rode a few weeks ago at Sheffield!

Dandelion Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 A tough meeting against who I feel (especially with Garrity) is the strongest looking side on paper, however without Garrity I think the Diamonds will win this meeting by about 12 or 14 points and we just gotta hope we can get the 2nd leg in before Garrity returns, although I do wish him the best of recoveries as he's one of my favourite riders and I never like to see an injured rider When is Garrity due to return?

There was a article in the Sheffield Star saying it would be August before Jason is back. Also, Josh Bates has pulled out of a guest booking for Kings Lynn tonight after crashing in his final ride at Coventry on Friday so not sure if he's riding tomorrow ??? EDIT Jonas Andersen guests for Bates Edited July 16, 2016 by Tigerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I think Sheffield will do well to keep it to 10 points. Garrity is a huge loss - different story with him in the side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graz gp Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 That's a sorry score card for the Tigers. Not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andys Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Superb performance tonight although totally baffled my Mr Mcgregors decision in heat 13 as were most fans from both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Boom.... Expected a comfortable home win but not by 34 points. Surely that will be enough even if we are in PL select mode on Thursday. We got 40 there in the League and that was with Garrity banging in a 15 point max. Without him it looks a hopeless task for Sheffield. The Diamonds were awesome. Victor exceptional as was Ludde. Breathtaking wins for Ludde in heat 14 over the decent Andersen and again in heat 15. Sheffield were poor with Stead having one of his bad Brough nights. Howarth gave it everything but has rarely scored well here. Berge and the two reserves were off the pace. I've said if before but I'd back us against anyone over 2 legs providing we can field our full team. That probably won't be necessary here. As others have said I have no idea why Stead was excluded in heat 13. Utterly bizarre. Edited July 17, 2016 by NJC71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brough Diamond Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Chronicle suggests Luddy and Victor missing also? Hope iit's wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Heat 13 Stead's back wheel clipped Lamberts front wheel coming out of bend 2 but it looked as much Robert's fault trying to cut back under Stead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Diamond Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Fantastic performance by the Diamonds and could have been more, Steve fall cost him maximum, Kus be disappointed didn't win heat 12 and Robert and Lewis were under par but still got good points. Danny struggled and his points were gifted but good to see Steve helping him after meeting hope it helps Danny. Sheffield were poor apart from single win each from Stead, Howarth and Anderson and clearly missed Garrity and maybe Bates as Anderson was competitive but did little apart from 12 and 14 which made his score looked better than it should. Should have enough but professional performance needed cant take nothing for granted especially against Tigers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 another fantastic home performance by diamonds team is clearly built for the playoffs and cup - tbf would be good for league but we never have our full team out for the away games which is costing us points mind you the speedway gods seem to have it in for us the league cup ruling was joke, we had a decent chance at the pairs until we had to field our 4th rider and a reserve !!!!! - and now the 4TT which I would think we would be in a great shout for ................ no lindgren pava or kus .... UNBELIEVABLE .................. who would be a promoter !!!!!!! and yes - weirdest decision of the season ............. steads joke of an exclusion ............ it was a racing incident and the race should have continued ................... just summed up sheffields night really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Palovaara is available, might be wrong. If that is the case our lineup I assume will be Lambert, Worrall, Palovaara and Rose with Phillips as reserve!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 its a real shame about the 'fours' as, I think its one of Matty's tracks and now no 'Lightning',,, when really we shudda been in with a great chance, but like the pairs we have suffered suppose that the price you pay when you have GP stars and internationals in your team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
