DiamondGlory Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Beautiful racing all night, one of the best matches this season so far. I never thought we'd actually win. Guess I should stop doubting the Diamonds when it comes to away fixtures! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Beautiful racing all night, one of the best matches this season so far. I never thought we'd actually win. Guess I should stop doubting the Diamonds when it comes to away fixtures! It would have been a surprise to me if the Diamonds hadn't won, especially with Shanes in instead of the unfortunate Philips. This current Panthers team has no chance of making the play offs without some changes, but i can't see that happening in the right places. It does make for cracking meetings however, and last night was a belter. Well done Newcastle.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) I honestly can't believe Newcastle fans didn't think they would win..... Robert and Worrall were always going go to close to being unbeaten as you've only got Holder to beat. Rose/Morris and Lindgren isn't to dis-similar on current form to Ully/Hansen and Lambert. Shanes in at reserve for Phillips was a major bonus aswell. Newcastle always like to pick up points with too many off form riders for the Panthers. Roll on next week now Edited May 14, 2017 by Panthers89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I should stop doubting the Diamonds when it comes to away fixtures! We only won because of the guest reserve .If Hopwood only scores 1 or 2 there wont be many more results like that . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther1997 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Anyone know anything about what happened between Lambert and a fan after heat 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Anyone know anything about what happened between Lambert and a fan after heat 15? A 'Fan' was hurling abuse towards Lambert, and Lambert then approached him. Security didn't even step in, mechanics had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bri1966 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) We appreciated his riding ability and still do and I don't recall anyone saying he wasn't any good it was all down to the amount of matches that he didn't turn up for which he now seems to have corrected . Good win for Newcastle tonight your misfortune to lose Danny Phillips to injury turned out in your favour with Shanes replacing him as I couldn't imagine Danny scoring anywhere near 8 points You deserve a drink , and if was buying it i'd make sure you ate the glass , but I take nothing away from Newcastle they were good value and deserved there win , but your repeated comments are uncalled for and are not constructive just bloody minded and vindictive.

hawks 1975 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 A stonking meeting! Proper speedway as someone on TV is wont to say. And on a slicker than usual circuit due to circumstances beyond the managements control. Apart from young Coles, every rider had their moments in providing top drawer entertainment, and hopefully all those who had a look from the MCN Festival will try it again. Panthers fans/management should not panic - the shock heat 8 1-5 allied to James Shanes' eye catching guest performance - effectively won Newcastle the match, given that Steve W and Robert L were always going to score big. Simon Lambert gets some stick, but he made some excellent gates and rode his socks off in the difficult No 2 slot. Great racing. Great entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 If racing of that quality results from the track preparation that was possible then do that every week! Superb racing from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 points for artistic impression are only awarded in silly sports like sycronised swimming and ski jumping..... Speedway is a silly sport. That must have filtered down to Foxhole at some point?

Roll on next week now We normally have bad results away from home, so it's just a case of relying on home fixtures. I don't think Phillips would have scored as much as Shanes. Both teams rode well to be honest. It was back and forth on the scorecard all night, I think heat 8 was the decider when we got a 5-1.

Crump99 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 First agenda item for the winter sorted then Second item. I understand that top of the agenda is 4 tractors starting at tapes for a flying one lap of track grading after heats 4, 8 & 12 with the fastest tractor doing 3 victory grading laps prior to heat 15. The Ippo promotion, who put the suggestion forward following fan pressure, are apparently salivating at the prospect and are keen to stage a BSPA main event of a Top Graders tractor 16 lapper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was thinking that if points are on offer then all trackmen rakers etc will need to have averages and be built to a limit to make it fair. Double the tinkering options available for some then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
