I was only there on sunday. So Andrew came a cropper on Monday?? I hope he is ok. I think he will overtake Stuart and be our number 1 rider in 2013, he was the fastest visitor in 2012 so what will he be clocking when he knows Brough like the back of his hand. Maybe Richie and Ludvig will with Stuart contest the number 1 spot but I am sure Andrew will do it for us, he moved on from Armadale at just the right time I think. Go on Andy prove me right

Decent rides by all the team members over the two sessions. Track need loads of work to get it on on Sunday, but complaints from some fans that it didn't start 'on time' FFS.

Christian didn't ride yesterday, but was impressive today despite a slidey fall, one of many on the third bend. Tully took a heavy tumble coming out of the forth bend hitting the fence and seemed in a lot of pain. Hes had a broken thigh I believe in the past. Walked into the ambulance but put on stretcher later.

Weather was baltic for both days and snow flurries today, resulting in a shortened session after the photo shoot and few rides by most riders.

Free tea and coffee for fans yesterday, to appreciate them making the effort to come and support their team in such weather.

Hi Tsunami

 

Amazingly cold on Sunday(when we were there) and no better today. Brrrr! last year I am told it was 20 degrees celcius. Let us hope the weather is kinder to us next week for the opener and all summer as we will have no cover thanks to William Hill dragging his feet with the concrete steps

Yes, it is a shame for this year. Over zealous H & S officers taking their job too seriously. The middle section of the steps, below the refs box, is obviously iffy and should be closed. That does not follow for the two flanks, where you stand, and common sense should have been applied.

IMO they should have condemned the middle section, and given then 6 months each for the two flanks to be brought up to standard. Way over the top reaction with no regard to the continuence of a major dual sports facilities within the city. 'Jobsworths' at it's best.

thats a bad start to the team for before a wheel is turned going to be a hard man to replace Vissing????

 

Vissing`s on his way to Edinburgh.

 

Sad to hear of Tullys injury,hopefully he`ll not miss to much of the season and will be back scoring points for the Diamonds very soon.

Terrible shame for Tully.

 

The team building thread says 7.01 with another 1.14 to spare: so a total of 8.15 :shock:

 

Monberg is 7.26. Nedermark 6.20.

 

Desperately bad News about Andrew. I thought he looked good yesterday. Let's hope that he gets well soon. Hopefully he will be able to resume his career. I thought he was a super signing for us.
