It'll certainly be packed with riders & I suppose if anybody wants to see top riders I'm sure the promotion would be very grateful for any donations ( sponsorship wise to attract GP SEC or POLISH top riders ) to help with the huge costs..

I would hope so, but will they be quality riders or the best of a bad bunch as has been the case in previous years!! We already know 7 of the riders, I just hope the other 9 offer some quality. We wait and see, but see my comment below, probs won't make any difference to me as I probably won't be there due to other commitments on the revised date!!! 1 hour ago, StevePark said: Just to jog your memory: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100992 My memory is fine, but my point is we had plenty of opportunities when we had no speedway on weekends when the meeting could have been staged or other meetings staged. I also not the line "This scenario just makes us more determined to put on something special later on in the season." My concern is that if the lineup is s***e, people will not bother especially if the weather is poor as it often is this time of year. I was able to make the original staging and the revised one but am struggling to make the new date, which kinda p****s me off. BUt you can't please everyone.

StevePark Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Club information statement After the disappointment of the weather intervening in the much anticipated local derby Cup Final 2nd leg at Newcastle Speedway on Sunday both the Newcastle Boiler Technical Services Diamonds and the Redcar Bears are all set do battle once again this coming Sunday, October 20th to decide who will be the 2019 Knock Out Cup winners. With Redcar holding a 12 point lead from the first leg on Teesside there was much anticipation for a thrilling second leg only for the awful autumn weather to intervene. All that has done though is to further heighten the expected anticipation as the two local teams battle it out in this major final for the first time. The action gets under way at the Newcastle Stadium (Brough Park) this coming Sunday at 6.30pm and Newcastle team boss George English says that his team is ready for the challenge. English said: "at the commencement of this Final we were the underdogs but that is something we have been throughout the whole of this competition and we love nothing better than proving the doubters wrong." He went on: "Redcar have had a superb season and they are rightly the favourites however that suits us down to the ground, two horse races often end up with a surprise result, we are more than capable of producing a fine performance and coming out on top. "No matter what the outcome on Sunday evening, for which both teams are expected to be the same as last Sunday, north east sports fans are in for a real treat." With the Cup Final taking place this Sunday the clubs 90th Anniversary meeting will now be staged on Sunday October 27th. As well as the Diamonds the likes of Ben Barker, Tero Aarnio, Richard Lawson and Lewis Kerr have already accepted bookings to take part in the celebrations which will highlight a famous name of Newcastle’s past as the 6 pairs in the meeting will be named after a famous face of the different decades. For example the Pairing representing the 60’s is of course named after Ivan Mauger and each pair will be racing in specially designed race jackets which supporters can bid for in the auction after the meeting. As well as senior riders the future is represented by the youngsters whose races will be interspersed into the main action. It is also hoped that some vintage machines will be on display and they will no doubt be looked over by the welcome appearance of former Newcastle riders. There are still limited sponsorship opportunities for this special night with Pairs available at £390 and individual riders at £90, the packages for each include some very special items. Anyone interested in assisting at this meeting can contact Newcastle Speedway executive, Steve Brock via Email at info@newcastlediamonds.co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Wonder if Ludde will be there, as he has served the Diamonds for the majority of the last decade ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Well, I hope the cup match is run next Sunday as (I suspect like some others) I'll be away on 27th - it's half term. I wouldn't have attended the 90th anniversary meeting anyway after the fiasco around the first date for it. One way or another, for me it feels as though the season ended weeks ago: in fact, I'm not sure it ever really got started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought so. The only thing is that there will be no/little car park space, but we had that issue a few weeks ago when the circus was there. I am sure the club will issue a statement before the meeting (possibly during the KO Cup Final match the week before?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guesses are: 60 - already stated as Mauger 70 - no idea before my time 80 - Owen, but what about Hunter 90 - Interesting as I would say Bargh, but what about Pedersen (Nicki) or Thorpe 00 - Olsen or Pedersen 10 - Larsen, Bach, Worral or Robson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I reckon Tom for the 70's and Joe for the 80's. A coincidence you mention Rod Hunter. He features in this weeks "A Walk in the Park."

Your probs right about Owen, as in Tom for the 70's and Joe the 80's, to be fair you could nominate quite a few for the 80's in my opinion, Emerson, Beaton, Blackadder, Bloxsome et al.
