Peterborough Panthers V Newcastle Diamonds (sgb Championship) 30/08/2017


Recommended Posts

Announced tonight that Worrall rides at Peterborough on Wednesday.

 

King replaces Lambert and Newman replaces Robson.

 

I think that was what was said.

 

That is what we were told at Newcastle tonight :approve:

Well we are truly fooked! Makes diamonds a lot stronger

It's a meaningless meeting anyway , I expect the attendance will be low as it's a midweek fixture and with playoffs now firmly out of reach there is very little interest to attract a decent sized crowd even with there being no league racing at the showground for five and a half weeks, so win or lose does anyone care as all that's at stake is pride.

According to programme tonight George wrote Belle vue is a re arranged meeting therefore n/cle have priority for stevie, Danny King replaces Rob,and Ryan Douglas replaces Robbor

Should read Robbo

 

The article was written on Wednesday/Thursday of last week. Things change. George was interviewed by Roy during the break for the air-fence repair (during the Newcastle v Scunny match at Brough Park on Sunday) and he said it was "Kevin Doolan and Aaron Summers at Scunthorpe, Danny King and Kyle Newman at Peterborough and Ricky Wells at Berwick."

Our website is now showing Schlein and Douglas for Panthers with King and Newman for Diamonds - fingers crossed for the weather now!

Panthers select V Newcastle select nothing at stake.The sport has to do better to keep fans interested.Whats the average attendance at Show ground this season?

More than likely it will be less than the average attendance on Wednesday night, as you say a meaningless fixture with nothing at stake and 4 of the 13 riders performing will be guests. Plus R/R .

Meaningless :shock:

 

Have you not read the press releases.

 

With rain forecast most of the day, including a couple hours of heavy rain at some point, it'll be touch and go whether this survives anyway if that forecast is anything like.

Don't think it will touch and go..I think its a dead cert that it'll be off with the amount of rain forecast and for the first time ever..I don't even care.

 

If the afternoon rain hit the EoES then it'll not survive so the question is do they take the risk or call it off by the lunchtime cut off? Who's running the ship? We're struggling for dates even now. Generally though, it's the usual cram the fixtures in at the end of the season scenario. For whatever reason, you can't go the whole of August without home fixtures.
