It’s a gamble but we really don’t appear to have much option. As with any gamble there is a potential upside as well as the downside that everyone is quick to jump on. Who is to say these two lads won’t average 7 on a speedway track?
Hopeful as always and will attend as always.
If the new #1 has an 8+ average then I’ll be happy. Just want us to compete in heats 13 & 15, especially at home. Far too many times in the last couple of years we eked out a 6 point lead after 12 heats only to get blown away at the sharp end.
Even when we pulled level in the cup final did anyone have the slightest faith we would win over the last 3 heats? That is a depressing feeling.
3 lapsed fans of my acquaintance would return if we got a genuine, big name, #1
i know the sums need to add up but I think many fans need a hero in the team. A 7.5 point #1 who loses heat 15 every week is never a hero.
Good effort from the Diamonds but undone in heats 13 and 15 again, as we have been all too often this season.
Concerned by the tone of the programme notes though. Fingers crossed for 2020
