Newcastle Diamonds 2014


Recommended Posts

 

He said to us that he wasn't coming back because he was going abroad instead

 

(only joking about first post, just kidding :) )

That's speedway though I guess, riders come and go all the time.

 

This year we had Barker, next year we'll have Worrall, probably someone else in 2015.

 

I'm sure you'll sign a good replacement and put a competitive side together, you always do.

I know that but he specifically said he wasn't riding PL this year.

 

He said that he was going full time elite and abroad.

 

Just wondering what the team will be, i hope craig cook comes to Newcastle (not as unrealistic as Richie going to Ipswich)

 

Then we could have

 

1. Craig Cook 10.52

2. 5.69

3. Stuart Robson 7.20

4. Lewis Kerr 6.09

5. Anton Rosen 7.00

6. Steve Worrall 3.00

7. Robert Lambert 3.00

At the dinner dance he said he was moving up into the elite league and was going to try and find a place to go abroad

 

Unrealistic wasn't a very good word to use surprising i think would be better

he was always going to double up.... He wanted a move though so he had options abroad and unfortunately, we being a weekend club would never keep him because of that, a bit delusional to think we stood more chance of getting cook( 2 hopes... Bob and wester) than Ritchie moving to a midweek club... Was always going to happen...goodluck to him, he owes us Nowt. Edited by Arson fire

Oh ok from my understanding he wanted to stop PL and ride EL only (got this info from a friend who attended the dinner dance)

 

I think i let the disappointment of seeing my favourite rider go to a team i personally dislike greatly and was in the middle of a rant when i said Craig cook should join, i agree we have two chances of signing him and they both end in all

 

And finally i agree richie doesn't owe us anything and i would like to wish him good luck in his 2014 campaign and his future career

 

I apologise for anything i said in my rant that anyone disagreed with :t:

Any particular reason why you "greatly dislike" Ipswich??

Guttered that Richies going elsewhere but he needs to go where he thinks its right for him.. Mind it leaves a space open for someone new in the Diamonds.

 

Id still love:

 

Stuart Robson

Ludvig Lindgren

Anton Rosen

Christian Henry

Lewis Kerr

Andrew Tully

Cookie Monster.

 

think that would do me thank you very much :-)

I would have Christian, not sure about Ludvig, when he is onit he is one of the best riders to watch, he just seems to every year have that low patch when he can't buy a point/big score and for that I did not include him.

 

If we can get Ludvig and Anton then he will be better as he seemed to improve loads when Anton was there. Plus he is young and he has more to learn I for one would like to see him back.

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.
