erniew Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Lewis Rose out of hospital, but will not be racing anywhere this weekend. Leaves us with R/R and another NL guest for Schrammy. could be a long night at Armadale, regardless how well the team rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, we may be limited for choice, but we can have a PL guest (up to an average of 4) to replace him, as we did on Sunday with Berwick reserve Liam Carr.

DIAMONDS Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 My luck suggests this may actually happen. Better not, I'm skint! Your loss Why a NL guest for Schrammy? OK, we may be limited for choice, but we can have a PL guest (up to an average of 4) to replace him, as we did on Sunday with Berwick reserve Liam Carr. Oliver Greenwood Luke Crang Paul Starke (Coming up from the south coast though) These are any of the riders I would like to see replace Schrammy for this meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sorry, blonde moment! Forgot about his average. I will still be supporting whoever rides for the Diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 i think you are being a bit harsh on the bottom end Riders. Whist they are not performing successfully at present, we are particularly unlucky with our Team formation at present. With Lewis Rose, to my mind, riding reasonably well as a Reserve, finding himself thrust in to the main body of the Team far too early because of circumstances, the injury to Chris Schramm, and the Lambert problem, the Team has been somewhat thrown in to an unfortunate situation. Add to this the National League three pointer who will take time to settle and the recipe for a few defeats is very obviously there. I would not criticise the Riders, they are doing their very best in a very difficult situation. George is aware of the situation and will, I am sure, endeavour to put things right. I certainly don't expect a win at Armadale - as long as the 'Lads' try hard and do their best - nobody can ask more than that. Let's hope for an injury free Meeting too - for both Teams was that not the only way it would work, going for the big hitting number 1 ??? not like you ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Your loss Oliver Greenwood Luke Crang Paul Starke (Coming up from the south coast though) These are any of the riders I would like to see replace Schrammy for this meeting Thought I had seen it already that Luke Crang is guesting on Friday or has the Monarchs website got it wrong. Not the first time that our team has been announced on the opposition teams' website first- laughable!

HadrianDog Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Since we must declare a team /riding order pre-meeting its obvious that the Monarchs have based their preview on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Lewis Rose will miss tomorrows meeting, Newcastle will go with R/R, Redcars Luke Crang will come in as a guest for Chris Schramm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadrianDog Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 At this rate the jinx will frighten off prospective guests. Don't suppose that Stevie W could ride for both teams tomorrow night. Whoever we get lets hope they have experience of Armadale or at least a small tight track somewhere. Still say we should try to persuade Jase out of retirement even as a stop-gap to re-whet his appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fair to say the MC have stretched the odd rule from time to time but even they wouldn't let Worrall ride for both teams, though they`ve tried most things so why not give it a go.

TheScotsman Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I have to say I have some slight concerns about this match. Newcy have a very strong top 4 who are at least a match for Edinburgh's. How Aaron will fare is anyone's guess but if the horrendous wound opens up and he has to pull out then the pressure is all on Stevie. But Stevie is only human (so I'm told) and could have bike problems all night for instance. Deek was pretty poor last week according to the updates so all in all it could be pretty damn close given Newcy's usual liking for the 'Dale. Or it could be another runaway Monarchs win. Certainly don't want to start like we did for half a dozen heats against Ippo last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEITH M Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Or it could be another runaway Monarchs win. Edinburgh will hit 60 tonight without any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Expect us to take all 3 points tonight but it could be harder than all the other home matches we have had this season. With King, Robson, Lindgren and Kerr (if he gates) all capable of winning races. I think our strength in depth will be the difference tonight.
