The White Knight Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Why? Because of possible changes to the Race Day/Night dictated by the BSPA. There is talk of changing Race Days with the BSPA stating that the Premier League races on certain nights and Championship races certain nights. It is an attempt to stop all of this nonsense of Doubling Up and Doubling Down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondlil Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Lewis Kerr has already confirmed on Twitter he had 2teams sorted for 2018.i would imagine scunny is one of them Can’t imagine KB at n/cle couldn’t afford him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Lynn & Lakeside would be my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Diamond Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Its pretty difficult to predict a team till we know that Diamonds are running, and what the rules are. Although i dont understand why teams can sign riders before AGM. That means promoters automatically go in with a biased agenda as they wont accept any rule that effect the signings, even if its a great rule that will benefit the sport. Hopefully this is best AGM in years with no politics it cant continue as it has been. Edited November 3, 2017 by Big Diamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an attempt to stop all of this nonsense of Doubling Up and Doubling Down. And the talk is said to be that the 'top flight' could be running on a Monday & Thursday, if that is the case, we won't be running on a Monday. The top flight won't be being run on a Sunday, so that would (I believe) mean that, if indeed we are running, we would stay on a Sunday. It's all hypothetical though.

From the Diamonds website 5 October 0750am http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100795 George English No one knows what is going to happen next year, whether we will be running on a Sunday or a Monday, but the crucial question is will Newcastle Speedway be running at all? You can help answer that by turning up in force on Monday next – it’s a 7.30 start – and cheer on the Diamonds as they seek to avenge last season’s Cup final defeat by Glasgow.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leander Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Is there any date of an announcement as to whether or not you are running next Season? I would think that that is likely to be at the time of the conference, once they've decided on the format for next year. i.e. race nights, 1 league or not. etc. If there is a premiership and championship next year (with fixed race nights, especially for the premiership) then I can see doubling up/down still being in place a it will be easier if the two leagues are running on different nights. If we need a big top end rider, with Steve in Poland, how about the return of Kenneth Bjerre? If I'm correct, he'd only be on a 8.22 average. As pointed out above, the limit should be 42.50... Partly because it needs to be, to make the league actually interesting again, and partly so we can have this team It'd be so good, probably win most things, but how likely would it be? Not very is my guess 1. Kenneth Bjerre 8.22 2. Lewis Rose 6.49 3. Kyle Newman 6.10 4. Ludvig Lindgren © 6.94 5. Aaron Summers 8.00 6. Ashley Morris 4.72 7. Alfie Bowtell 2.03 Total : 42.50 Another rider I'm a fan of that I'd like to see at our level (not necessarily with Newcastle) is Kai Huckenbeck I would think KB will have a polish contract.

Pretty sure Alfie will be riding for lakeside in the championship next year He's said he'd rather be at Newcastle, but how much of that was because he was getting interviewed in front of the Newcastle fans?

Rayleigh Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 what about a return of Matej Kus ? I agree, a rider who was I think was rider of the year at Berwick, rider of the year at Redcar and in his own admission had his best ever year when at Newcastle. He also is very committed to his teams and after being Newcastle fans being "Robert Lamberted" (something Kings Lynn, Peterboro and Rye House fans are only too aware of) that should be very important..

I wouldn't be against Matej Kus returning at all, if he can be fitted into the 3/4 with Ludvig again, that would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 1.R Worrall 2.T Aarnio 3.S Robson 4.L Lindgren 5.M Kus 6.A Morris 7.A Bowtell and it might fit, if its 42.50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have missed you though. Glad you are back. 1.R Worrall 2.T Aarnio 3.S Robson 4.L Lindgren 5.M Kus 6.A Morris 7.A Bowtell and it might fit, if its 42.50. Good Team with Kerr in for Lindgren if he was available and would fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leander Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 But if we run Monday, would that matter? If we have to run monday we'll close. The crowds just don't justify Monday nights. It was interesting that Lakeside stated they were re-applying to join the Premiership nest year, then suddenly changed to the Championship when it was realised that "fixed" nights would mean they would have to move from a friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Oh Dear - same old, same old. I have missed you though. Glad you are back. Could say the same about you But even you've got to admit, Ludvig partnered with Lewis and Matej the past few years has brought some entertaining races Just had a very busy few months, travelling with family and university, nice to be back If we have to run monday we'll close. The crowds just don't justify Monday nights. It was interesting that Lakeside stated they were re-applying to join the Premiership nest year, then suddenly changed to the Championship when it was realised that "fixed" nights would mean they would have to move from a friday. True true, didn't really think of that, I don't think I'd be able to make it most Mondays Hopefully fixed race nights is just for Premiership and we can stay on a Sunday? yeah,,, or for Robson as their both floating around a 7ave. Imo, Lewis Kerr is the weakest out of Ludvig, him and Robson, and to be on a similar average, no thank you, but then again, I've only seen him at Brough the last time he rode for us there, a few years ago, maybe he's come on A LOT since then. Anyway, I don't see Lewis Kerr at Newcastle next year, or Ludvig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
