oriole Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Looking forward to this one. We need a big lead to take to brough park. I still get nightmares after last years capitulation. Up the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. Â I'd settle for that too. Â We saw what we can do against poor opposition last week and (with all due respect) we should get something similar this weekend, but we need to keep it close as you never know what's going to happen!

diamond@heart Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. Think George may punch the air with delight if we pass 35 and do a friggin dance if we pass 40. Hopefully not a massacre and we can keep it close.

Cue Ball Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Think that you're being unnecessarily pessimistic as to your chances - there are a lot teams that have `historically` done badly at Owlerton that are pushing us/beating us now. I hope that with Roynan signed and Facu at reserve we should hold our own and beat you - might depend on how Worral rides, I seem to remember last year that he was disappointing to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 After Newcastle won their first leg of the KO Cup tie at Edinburgh but then bombed out by losing at home, who knows how this will end up? Â Good luck to Adam Roynon, and to Facu at reserve They will be the men to make a difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Newcastle teams in the past have struggled at Owlerton but hey! This Newcastle side may not fear the big track as much as our sides used to. The tigers fans are forecasting a home win. Well maybe... but don't be surprised if you are out-gated and out-paced by the 2013 diamonds. 50-40 to Sheffield? I think not! I am going for an away win, possibly a last heat decider. I hope Newcastle entertain and all 14 riders come through unscathed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Very low key Diamonds fans on this thread considering most neutrals would predict a win for them by 10+. Probably because we have such an awful record at Sheffield. Other than a Lemon/Bach/Larsen inspired win down there in 2010 we have generally been stuffed in all competitions. Â Sheffield on paper look quite decent now but hopefully we'll do enough tonight to enable the win over two legs. I would be over the moon with 40. The Tully/Lindgren pair worries me tonight as neither have great records on big fast tacks. Hope they prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Looking forward to seeing adams debut tonight,been out since april with head injuries so we put him straight into the no pressure role of carrying the reserves !!!!!!!!!! Marvellous.Good luck adam bet your glad you didn't get the easier no 4 role !!! If we are to progress to the final we don't need any passengers tonight.

Halifordukesfan Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Better take a picnic or something to do tonight as there's likely to be a looooooooooong sun break, and the management are not renown for engaging with the fans & keeping tthem entertained during long breaks in racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 apart from this bloke yeah well its more entertaining to have a rebel rouser. otherwise we would all nod off on this thread wouldn't we? now I fancy a pint of Guinness whose round is it?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Im all for caution and respect for the opposition etc etc but many Diamonds fans seem happy with 35 points! Â Thats caution on the scale of an orphaned puppy left on the doorstep of the local Korean takeaway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Check the updates and you'll see why. The Diamonds are used to throttle control and turning left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 More than happy with that. First really good show from Richie around Sheffield which is good to see. Robbo, Henry and Schramm all doing their jobs well and another superb away showing from Lewis Kerr who has not had a bad match on the road this season. Was worried about the Tully/Lindgren pairing before hand and so it proved although at Least Lindgren managed to beat the reserves. This is why I personally would have had Ned in the team as he was so reliable on the road. Good result though and should be more than enough for the second leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
