It's more the fact that they might both struggle to maintain their averages next season. Our success was having a strong reserve, & keeping the team minus Pedersen will take that advantage away in my opinion.
Hans would be the one I would move on. Got a lot of points by blocking riders rather than having a lot of speed last season. Not a lot of good if he missed the gate.
Can't believe any real Newcastle fans are unhappy with the team. A few weeks ago, the Diamonds were finished. If your last rider is a big hitter, it looks a decent team. Whoever the last rider is, it looks a better team than last year, & most importantly, you still have a speedway team to support.
Good luck with any help anyone can offer to keep the Diamonds going beyond next season. Newcastle are my second team now, & I will be coming to Brough Park next season to support them at least a couple of times. Let's hope THJ is up for a few drinks.
