Be giving it a miss unfortunately due to my daughter's wedding  later today & it'll be a case of looking after our amazing granddaughter on Sunday as she's still a bit young yet for the speedway so I'll be watching the updates as well as watching Newcastle hopefully getting a result against spurs on the TV

Although I believe the Diamonds will lose this meeting, I am greatly looking forward to getting back to the speedway :) It's all a bit of fun tonight for some valuable track time for the lads, really hope the new riders can get to grips with the track this season. Fingers crossed. Does anyone have any information on any extra races that will be on tonight beyond the 15 heats against the Stoke side, thank you

We're Newcastle riding better than the select team or was it a typical challenge match to keep scores close ?

Max, Matty, James and Paul were all very solid, great rides from the four of them, impressed and they should be good for the season (at home anyway)

Lee, he's been out of the saddle for about a decade but tbh didn't look too bad tonight, once the rust wears off and he sorts out whatever mechanical problems he seemed to be having tonight, he won't be a bad reserve, looked quite spectacular too on occasions, but I don't think the outside line has worked at Brough for many years now...

George, has a long way to come to be any decent, however he showed slight improvement in his third and fourth ride compared to his first two (looked a little slower, but less wild), don't think he's going to be the big hitting reserve I dreamt he would be, but give him a couple months, he should be there or there abouts an ok number 7 at home, not too concerned

Bradley, the less said the better about tonight, didn't look like he was comfortable for a single second and appeared to give up when left miles behind, he could only just about keep Connor Coles behind him at one point. Yes, it's his first season back after a couple off, and he's bound to be rusty too, I never expected him to be a good out and out number 1, but he better be improving on the performance he showed tonight, or else it's going to be pretty embarrassing for him this season.

Again, we have a team with absolutely zero top end strength and you could feel the atmosphere in the stadium was duller than ever tonight, I heard a few people complaining as they were leaving the stadium that they wouldn't be back next week, and the crowd was already tiny this week, Christ knows what's it's going to be later on in the year... I don't want to know

Well after an amazing day yesterday my daughter's wedding.. I thought ( grandad duties ) I'd  give it a miss & watch the Newcastle game on TV which may have had an impact on today's crowd & was not a good watch . So let's hope for a decent crowd next Sunday at brough to help the lads on track against a very good looking redcar team

Hopefully we can put a decent show on at Leicester next sat & show the rest of the league that we are a good team
