StevePark Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I don't know why anyone thinks Craig Cook is a possible signing. I would assume he'll be back at Edinburgh although personally I can't see anything for him to gain riding PL other than easy money. He needs to be riding in Poland & Sweden if he is to progress there is nothing left for him to achieve at PL level. Good luck to Richie. He needs another year in the PL but if he can get a deal in the Polish first division then it's the right move. Plenty of options for the Diamonds, no need to panic. Lewis is the key signing - probably even more so than Richie to be honest. Al Stewart says (on another thread) "He's very keen to ride abroad but because of his EL average he is rated at the same level as GP riders in both Sweden and Denmark, so hasn't secured a place there. He has offers from Poland but possibly from clubs where other riders have had problems". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Seems strange Steve going to Edinburgh after claiming he was looking for a team.... Meaning we either didnt go for him or couldnt agree terms if we did...or of course he didnt want to come back....Intrigued to know who our reserves will be.

diamond_ren Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Me personally wouldn't mind seeing Richard Lawson as our number 1, I know he's not everyone's cup of tea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Robert Lambert is friendly with Lewis Kerr I wonder if he is a possibility ? Only problem would be if King's Lynn have Kerr & Lambert at reserve, they probably would not wish both riding for the same PL side. If Berwick use Carr instead of Starke, then PS might be a target. Likewise if Ellis is not in Ipswich plans, he's worth considering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Also Robert Will probably want to continue to ride Internationally on Weekends/Sundays like he has done in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 we are loosing some good riders wish we knew who we were getting :-( Or even losing them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Strength in depth 1. Stuart Robson 7.20 2. 6.35 3. Ulrich Ostergaard 6.52 4. David Howe 6.34 5. Anton Rosen 7.00 6. Robert Lambert 3.00 7. Lewis Kerr 6.09 Dunno how much Lewis being at reserve sacrifices the rest of the team or weather its worth it but how about this for LK being at reserve. ged away .... Your guess is everyone and anyone well then we can finally agree on something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 So the other twin is going to Armadale, good luck Steve we all think you have it in you to be a great rider. Nothing yet about any riders Newcastle are bringing in. Well George we are waiting for you to build our 2014 team. Personally, I was entertained by Chris Schramm so I hope he will be included in the side. Yes I know what Schrammies short comings are but still would like to watch him in 2014. Lewi Kerr if signed should go on to occupy 1 3 or 5 positions later in the season but he still needs time to develop further into a heatleader. So are we going for a 9 point plus number 1 or will it be a strong in depth side again. My only problem with that is when heats 13 and 15 come around a top number 1 will get us at least 3 points in these difficult heats. Looking forward to some news about incoming riders not outgoing ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian would come in on 7.07, (but would leave Ludo as number 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
