CardinalSin Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Even hotter than Good Friday. Just done the track walk. Seems lots of material on it and well watered. Bob still working hard. Fingers crossed. And still crap racing!! On to heat 9 and I seriously give up! I can't recall a single pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Gutted, but well done all 5 of them.... This team are up and down like yoyos lol. Did Lewi has bike probs in heat 15?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Gutted, but well done all 5 of them.... This team are up and down like yoyos lol. Did Lewi has bike probs in heat 15?? Lindgen again rode a magnificent four laps to take the win but Tungte soon reeled in his handicap and passed Kerr on the run to the finish line once more in an excellent race to share the heat and indeed the match which ended a 45-45 draw giving Newcastle their first two Premier League points of 2014 Quoted from the Newcastle Diamonds website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 5 man team? Ref was on Newcastle side and some could say so was Worrall!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 One that both sides will feel they shouldve won. Track held up pretty well and there was genuine racing/passing. For an afternoon meeting it was decent and certainly tension filled. Quite how Rohan was disqualified from the original attempt of Heat 15 I dont know. When the red lights came on he was closest of all 4 to the tapes and ready to go! If the 2 minutes was up as he was still coasting round after his initial problems then why didnt the light and klaxon cone on? Best wishes to Schrammy and Ton Perry. 5 man team? Ref was on Newcastle side and some could say so was Worrall!?I think you missed a smiley off this Beerhut. It should replace the question mark. Im sure no one will be more gutted than Richie.

jackofdiamonds Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Let's not forget Newcastle had to ride with 1 rider in two heats, and Chris Schramm was leading heat 2 until his exclusion.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Ipswich looked again like the away team. Newcastle ran out of riders, Ipswich ran out of ideas! Looks like Tom Perry went to hospital with broken collarbone, no news on Schramm apart from had movement in limbs but back pain 2014 aves after today: Risager 7.44 Worrall 7.28 Tungate 6.36 Ellis 5.82 Manzares 5.71 Hawkins 5.02 Heeps 4.00 taken from lovespeedway24 “It’s two points lost as far as I’m concerned,” Witches boss Chris Louis bemoaned afterwards. “I’m sorry but I thought that was a pretty terrible performance. “Fair play to Newcastle. But they came here with a rider down (Rosen) and then lost a reserve (Schramm) before he’d completed a race. “There are no excuses. The track was good. Getting a draw in the last race wasn’t special for me, we should have had it won. And in a more worrying line for the current Witches septet Louis added: “The riders are testing my patience.” Edited May 5, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 As for the fans forum, wouldn't it be a lot better if we could actually ask questions of the riders and promoter? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Where do we start then , hmmm ! I suppose a genuine well done to Newcastle should be first on the agenda for overcoming the adversity of losing Chris Schramm so early , get well soon ! Racing was actually much better today with quite a few lines and passes , blue line took a lot longer to appear and credit where its due on track prep . Alas , that's where alot of the positives about the afternoon end . Richie W , a poor days work I'm afraid after demolition of the tapes in ht 1 , not looking very quick at all today . Gino , a good days work scoring nicely above his average , could end up as a one track rider though . ( Foxhall ) Morten , well done today , excellent points return and good performance . Cam , oh dear ! One good race but poor gating and low confidence really affecting his scoring for the team . Rohan , decent scoring till being screwed over by the ref big time ! Did what's expected of a heat leader . Tom Perry , as expected till his fall when in a point scoring position . really hope he's OK BTW ! Ritchie H , decent first few rides but seemed to run out of steam towards the end of his 7 outings . That's my quick review of today's team but how much do we miss Adam at the moment ? I decided to go to the alleged fans forum afterwards , not so much a forum as a quick chat from Kevin Long with Chris Louis and the riders about the meeting . Was hoping to ask a question or two about what's going wrong and what's being done to put things right , didn't happen ! Definitely not my or my dictionary's definition of a forum . If CL is as good as his word when I spoke to him afterwards we should all need to have questions and/or concerns ready for the next one ! So overall a pretty poor show today , generally unconvincing and pretty disappointing to only get a draw against a 5 man team , any school report would say , Must do better ! Well that's my rant over , what does everyone else think about the recent pitiful performances ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
