smod Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Tonight's meeting at Armadale sees the start of a new era at the stadium. In the past forty hours the ownership of the stadium has changed hands and the Cochrane family are now in charge. As greyhound people, their first priority is to make improvements on the dog side but signs of the initial upgrading to the stadium will be obvious this evening. We look forward to positive relationship and to see the stadium improving week by week. A big improvement on last week will be a well stocked bar! Newcastle have called up Scunthorpe National League rider Ryan McDonald to replace the injured Luke Crang. Diamonds boss George English faced a nightmare in finding a last minute replacement for Crang who was replacing Chris Schramm. Four of the Scotwaste Monarchs attended the Armadale Primary School Fun Day at lunchtime today. Aaron, Justin, Max and birthday boy Sam were the star attractions at the school event. Hopefully their efforts will entice some of the children to the stadium this evening. Birthday boy Sam and recent birthday boy Craig invite all supporters to the bar after the meeting this evening to enjoy a piece of their birthday cake.

Screm's putting it on a Speedway forum for anyone who might be interested . Does it matter where it came from ? Not to anyone who was eating Masters' cake last night it probably didn't . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilersrus Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Another great lingren performance? Using rider replacement and brining in a rider who is a novice in the conference? What's going on one disaster to another can't believe we couldn't get a pl guest the bad decisions already made are really coming home to roost i agree lingren hasn`t been at his best imo they should have kept henry who gives his all at every meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Lindgren didn't ride to badly last night and give 120% in every race which is all you can ask. It was only his gating which was the problem really otherwise would of scored a lot more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Lindgren is the least of our worries at the minute, even if top 4 scored 42 points between them we would still probably lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniew Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 10 rides between the reserves gave us 2 points, you're not going top win many meetings with that sort of return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 What is the chance of Andrew Tully coming back early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 What is the chance of Andrew Tully coming back early? Even if he did it would mean another team re-gig. No, what we need is an effective reserve pairing to back up what is on paper at least a fairly potent main body when they collectively click.

DIAMONDS Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've made my team changes but I wont share them 'cause everyone will get mad Even if he did it would mean another team re-gig.

screm Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 When we cut & paste stuff, we usually have the decency to quote the source, old chap. The bit I copied it from was taken from the Edinburgh Speedway Twitter page, take it up with them old bean or have a look for yourself, maybe you can post the bit I`ve missed, but for the life of me I cant find. It was tweeted on the 23rd (yesterday) under the heading "A new era begins". I've made my team changes but I wont share them 'cause everyone will get mad Another madman round here, how would anyone tell the difference. Its called manners Paul - they seem to be going rapidly out of fashion. Its only fair to at least credit someone when they did the work Fair point, I will bare it in mind.

StevePark Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Another great lingren performance? Using rider replacement and brining in a rider who is a novice in the conference? What's going on one disaster to another can't believe we couldn't get a pl guest the bad decisions already made are really coming home to roost So, ignoring the late withdrawal of Luke Crang, let's see who (PL) is eligible. Kasper Lykke (3.92), Oliver Greenwood (3.70), Joe Jacobs (3.37), Rafal Konopka (3.00) and, er, that's it from last night's availability. For future reference, others who qualify as PL reserve guests, who were unavailable last night: Liam Carr (3.00), Josh Bates (3.00), Paul Starke (3.63), Chris Mills (3.05),Roland Benko (3.24) Matt Williamson (3.00) and, of course Luke Crang (3.00).

Not a great choice actually. Never though I would be wishing for Schrammy so much to get better. And of course Lewis R. I think we will be decent again when they both return.

fred Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 You know it's not the best team when your wishing Chris Schramm was back! Newcastle were more decent before the team changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
