Seems to be getting longer each week....Yes I agree both teams were using rider replacement but even before the starting gate problems and the gentleman being attended to by first aiders on the terracing it was still nearly 20/25 minutes between end of heat 14 and original start of heat 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brough Diamond Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I was really looking forward to this meeting and actually arrived at my Dad’s at 5:15 ready to travel to the track when he noticed the Newcastle team on the updates site. We were both so annoyed at the booking of a guest who struggled to beat 2 Newcastle juniors on his last visit that we both decided enough is enough. I dont mind if we win or lose as long as we’ve given it a good go. The club itself isnt my issue either, its the fact that British speedway is in such an appaling state that we are actually allowed to turn out that kind of side and the BSPA are content with it? I’ve supported the Diamonds through thick and thin since 75 and my Dad hasnt missed a season since we re-opened after the war but something is seriously wrong when we look and shake our heads with regret! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 The guest was an affront to the paying public. Lindgren and possibly Morris apart the team's performances were abject and should have made the promotion embarrassed. The only good thing to come out of that is that I hope it will silence Ludde's detractors for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Anyone that thought Newcastle might have got a result tonight, needs to see a doctor. Such a shame Ludde couldn't take part in ht 15 as he was well on his way to smashing all the Glasgow max's The guest situation done us no favours and the delay before ht 15 wasn't good, but hope the fella in the crowd is ok.

His action could have seriously damaged both Ludde and his bike with his stupid move to block Ludde on the line. Don't even think about people who say the throttle works both ways, as Ludde had seen the gap and in a rush for the line the little Tw*t Sargent closed it after Ludde had already moved for the space. One day Sargent will get his comeupence, here's hoping. Missed Tero, and a hopeless guest who has not shown any Brough form, but I can only assume it had been thought that Tero was going to be riding and Stewart was the only local, available at the last minute. Robbo had a shocker except one ride and the rest just filled in holes behind the top riders that Glasgow had. Summers for Vissing, who is useless and dangerous at Brough, was a very big upgrade. Nice to see the Gems get a heathy win against the Giants 26-8 in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Got to agree with Brought Diamond as I also have had enough and it's not against the riders but the promotion. As Ranting Roy said tonight if your going to get a guest get a good one , refering to Summers.I think that sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrace Grumbler Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Should you find yourself in need of a chortle, have a look at the write-up of Sunday's match on the Diamonds' website. it's a different world on there, where we're the best team in the league, every loss is heroic and undeserved, and Archie Freeman is world champion. PS Where is TWK? Edited August 9, 2018 by Terrace Grumbler Mind yer own business, you're too nosey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Where is TWK? You don't give yourself any credibility by being sarcastic about the best youngster the area has produced for years. If we didn't bother to try to bring on the better youth of today, I suspect you would be the biggest Terrace Grumbler for "doing nowt as usual'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, he's probly searching for some shred of evidence that would suggest our new no.1 & skipper is doing better than the last one BTW, a think Archie has really moved forward in the last 18/24 mth.

PS Where is TWK? You've clearly read a completely different report to the one on the website. And, as Dave says, to have a sarcastic dig at a 13-year old, is totally uncalled for, totally unfair and you should, perhaps, think before you type in future?

mauger65 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) to be fair guys I don't think TG is having a pop at archie - his ire is at the joke reporting by the diamonds which has given no credibility to the management at all us keyboard warriors know nowt ………….. yet our predictions have been a damn site more accurate than ranting roys and the promotion the team has never been good enough ………. that is not even up for debate anymore with Workington, lakeside peterboro and an improving Scunthorpe to visit us ……….. a home win is difficult to foresee and an away win … well lets not even go there ………. we are in a 3 way battle with redcar and Sheffield for the wooden spoon …. and given we visit them and they hit us for 60+ last time ……… well they are obvious away wins for us …………... in the last 6 weeks every team have been trying to improve their sides ………… we have 3 points to play and we did nowt ……… even though the team is clearly not good enough lets be honest … we lucky to be unbeaten at home til Workington …………. the opposition teams seemed hell bent on giving us points …. well our luck has run out still … its only Workington on sunday who have rene bach at reserve !!!!!!!!! quote of the season …. ranting roy after Sheffield ….. 'this team is going places' ……………. it certainly is Edited August 9, 2018 by mauger65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Do not think Rene or Nicolai will be riding Sunday as both required for Poland and only national league guests allowed as replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still confused as to why the Comets are saying that this is a re-aranged fixture? Unless I'm missing something in my fuddled brain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I can't understand why we have Robbo and Ludvig as 1 and 2, surely Ludvig would be better utilised at 3 or 4 and Kus and 2?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
