After a BSPA Management Committee meeting on Tuesday the Sapphire Engineering Diamonds now know that they will need a replacement rider for skipper Jason King and that rider will be former Diamond, Lubos Tomicek. Newcastle made an application to the MC requesting a facility to cover for Jason but that was rejected necessitating the need for a replacement. Diamonds co-promoter George English, a member of that committee, though obviously he had no involvement in the voting, said 'We did not expect to win the vote but we did receive a very fair hearing, in the end we lost out to a democratic process and we have to accept the decision.' 'We immediately sought permission from Jon Cook at Lakeside to bring Lubos back to the Diamonds and with the assistance of my former co-promoter Dave Rowland all the plans were put in place and Lubos immediately left Prague and headed to the UK.' 'He will be back in time for our opening matches this weekend and he will be welcomed by Jason who is still very much our club captain.' From www.newcastlespeedway.net/

ROBSON ESCAPES BERWICK CRASH
SUNDAY MARCH 20, 2011
NEWCASTLE star Stuart Robson escaped serious injury in a last-race crash in the Diamonds’ opening-night victory at Berwick.
Robson was in pain from his foot after clashing with Bandits’ Kozza Smith during Heat 15 of Newcastle’s 50-43 victory, which also featured a five-ride maximum from Mark Lemon.
Diamonds boss George English said: “It really was frightening to watch and thankfully Stu seems to have survived with very light injuries, indeed he should be riding in the second leg tonight – although he blew one motor early on and had his second one severely bashed about in Heat 15, so we’re not sure what he’ll be riding just yet.
“All my team deserved credit for the success and I was particularly pleased with the manner our new reserve lads went about their job.”
