mike7164 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Well good luck to all OUR riders over Sunday & Monday sadly though I will not be attending either day, Sunday because I've been the last few years and had to turn around and come home including in 2016 as the entrance to the stadium is not open & I can't access through the pits, and Monday as I have other commitments GRR!

Dandelion Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm not that surprised - if it isn't a round thing kicked around by over paid prima donnas - they aren't interested. I know, there was like 10 minutes of football everynight, and then they MIGHT mention one other sport and that's it..... But normally the speedway gets a mention once a year when the P&P is on, plus, the Newcastle twitter has some dude from the BBC on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) I heard it is on tomorrow night thats because it will take at least a full day of editing to find 30 seconds of anything remotely interesting Edited March 20, 2017 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I watched the practice on Sunday and after a slow start with the delay and the track needing to dry out, the action soon got underway. No Lambert as I believe he was in Poland (don't quote me on that) but some good laps by Steve and Ashley and Danny Phillips looked good, he was attacking the track more and looked to have more confidence. I was impressed with Connor, he was the first to take a tumble when trying to use the tricky parts of bends 1 and 2 but that did not phase him. Michael was in attendance and passing on good advice to Connor, which to be fair he was listening to and carrying out and by the time I left you could see an improvement. Ludvig seemed to have a number of bike issues and made more bike changes than Tomasz Gollob , according to Twitter I think he got them sorted for Monday, hopefully the clouds of white smoke coming out of his engine at one point were not too costly . Lewis Rose seemed to show no ill effects from his injury but I think his eyesight may have been affected judging by the colour scheme on his bikes!!! Â All in all I saw what I expected from the practice session and I think we should hopefully be in with an entertaining season. I soon realised how f*****g cold Brough Park is so wrap up well on Sunday night!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Danny and Connor might not be too bad in the end, hope Danny has a lot better season next year and Connor settles in well Hope that's not a sign of things to come with Robert and Ludvig though Good to hear that Steve and Ashley were doing good and especially Lewis after his injuries, even though his bike sounds weird Good luck for 2017 to not just the Diamonds, but to all the riders in the world, safe travels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highside Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I like the look of the new kevlars alot more black than previous seasons, after all the diamonds are black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I like the look of the new kevlars alot more black than previous seasons, after all the diamonds are black and white. Looking forward to seeing them on Sunday because apparently some dude who 'feels no fear' is more important in the sport section of the news than an actual North East sports team and I'm going away to Finland now, so I won't be able to watch the news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
