bigcatdiary Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I am staggered that their is no preview of todays fixture on either the Plymouth website or the Newcastle website. ( just checked both) Pretty much sums up the current state of play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Richard Lawson signed for 2022. Had an outstanding season and seems in GB to be on a upward trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see Ben hasn't forgotten his way around Plymouth. Kyle Newman is worth a shout as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WembleyLion Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 At over 200 miles from home I don't get to visit too frequently but I'm glad I did this evening for what was a thoroughly enjoyable meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Another entertaining meeting tonight as Autumn approaches. No doubt the slightly cooler weather has helped the track staff in their preparation of the track as once against, there was exciting racing on a grippy track, with a few passing lines developing. The Gladiators new signing Lawson made a fine debut and was announced to the crowd as their first 2022 signing. He was supported again by the consistent Bowtell, the improving Cook and the hard charging Keleher. It was good to see guest Scott Nicholls now in the twilight of his career still getting stuck in and riding the Plymouth track with vigour. Jason Crump had a poor night, looking sluggish from the gate and down on power. A spectacular fall at the start of heat 3 when his clutch cable snapped, didn’t help his cause. For the Diamonds, Cornishman Ben Barker made a scintillating return to his old stomping ground. He alone, kept his side in the match. When he didn’t make one of his electric starts from the outside gate, he used every ounce of his track knowledge and craft, to carve his way past his opponents. His pass of Nicholls in heat 13 was superb, and his daring ride on the outside dirt to stay ahead of the chasing Lawson in heat 15 was brilliant Love him or loathe him, Barker is ( as the late Dave Lanning would say) entertainment personified The Diamonds challenge petered out with only Rondon and Wright providing any resistance to a now strong looking Plymouth team. The crowd looked pretty healthy again and the promotion must be well pleased with the set up they have developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Good attendance ,great racing, great track no issues at all,slick presentation, early start to team building for 2022,Good get together afterwards around the bbq polish sausage very popular with riders and fans. No begging bowl at Plymouth not bankrupt as many predicted riders wanting to ride for us as they know they will get paid bring on next season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the mess the sport is in I`m not so sure its the greatest idea to start signing riders when there is so much un-certainty around. What do Plymouth know that the rest don`t.
