PaulS Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Ashley has always been a deservedly popular Diamond, but this season he has stepped it up. I would think his heat 15 win against quality heat leader opposition might be his best ever race in a Diamonds racejacket...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great effort by the boys tonight with all 7 winning a heat ... but the star was Ashley ... riding superbly ... keep it up As for Sheffield .. they missed Howarth although Garrity was a good guest, Wright rode well and Shanes impressed..... but the villain of the piece was bjerre ...you can say he was unlucky with machinery or is it poor professionalism ........... he has a poor record round brough (unlike his brother who was superb) and to not complete a lap is not really acceptable why was wright so annoyed with Garrity in heat 15 ? Morris was a cut above the rest tonight, he certainly knows the fastest way around your track and must have decent machinery under him. Bjerre was an embarrassment tonight and as you correctly pointed out didn't complete a lap never mind a race! Don't know what was going on with him this evening, but he needs to get his gear sorted out and quickly. Garrity did a good job for Sheffield tonight apart from heat one where we set off on a 5 - 1 and ended up with a 2 - 4! I think Wright was having a go at him for (a) not letting him through to have a crack at Morris, although Jason was infront of him from the gate, and (b) Jason went out of shape on bends 3/4 of lap 3 and nearly had them both off! Pity that it's still winter up there in Newcastle, my feet were like two blocks of ice, and having a delay for the sun going down (in riders eyes) well that was a slap in the face!

With results going their way Scunthorpe can yet achieve 14 points ( 4 point away win at Redcar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh1218 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 What happens if Scunthorpe finish on 13 pts ie a Newcastle home win 3pts and a narrow win at Redcar 3pts , does it come down to head to head contest or the pts difference from the 6 group matches ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I would expect overall race point difference from the whole group fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have done what you thought was best, regardless of what other folk might do,,, must admit that I wish I had had a different hat on, to keep me big ears warm like Edited April 30, 2018 by ruffdiamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd known it was going to be arctic up there I'd have put 2 pair of socks on, me thermals, a jumper, a woolley hat and me tweed overcoat. Still think I'd have been cold! Perhaps that was part of Lasses problems yesterday, couldn't get his engines warmed up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well done Newcastle caught us on a bad day. R/R was never going to be covered sufficiently from day one. Josh Bates can be a decent scorer both home and away.We need to address it before Thursday if possible or we may get exploited.Hope Lasse gets his equipment sorted sooner rather than later.
