Newcastle Diamonds V Ipswich Witches 25/5


Recommended Posts

Certainly had one 'whinger' in my vicinity, but most-me included- saw it as a good meeting. On the telly to the neutral viewer, it would have been at least a semi-classic, but for the stoppages. Given the words from George and Robbo in the programme though, they have doubts about our track surface. Has todays work rectified it I wonder. In my mind our 'home track advantage' has been nullified to date by the winter alterations, albeit with the right intentions.

How was the track?

There have been a few grumbles about it this year.

 

As a neutral last Sunday I thought it was an excellent meeting, on a decent track, there was passing and riders could race each other. No better example of that was Danny King in Ht13, going off 15m he passed one Ipswich rider and was hot on the heels of the other by the end.

Hope track helps home advantage for rest of the season especially for Ludvig and Robbo as we need more race wins but both struggling to pass. However sunday was a great meeting and vital win to end the poor home run especially with monarchs next who will expect 4 points. On the peformances King was excellent as was Kerr. At reserve Mills got stuck in and proved that a few reserve points and you might win, but Greenwood of the pace which is a concern.

We just need to sort out our reserves.

 

I think George will be waiting for next month and hoping King, Lindgren, Rose, Schramm and Robson average all drop a little. So he can swap Greenwood with someone who will push Rose back to the reserves and have a decent number 2. So the team will then look like this;

 

1. King

2. Random number 2!

3. Robbo

4. Kerr

5. Ludvig

6. Schrammy

7. Rose

AYE! :P Hope so anyway :)

 

If we brought in Claes would his average remain 6.20 or could we get it reduced for some reason?

Suggested him before but apparently he is still wrong :(

Claes would seem to be the 'forgotten man' of the Diamonds. To me he did nothing wrong, having a fantastic end to the 2012 season. For some reason it appears he was not wanted by the management!

I think he was wanted but;

 

  • He was too expensive for flights and stuff
  • George couldn't fit him into the team

I would love him to come back because after Robbo he was my favourite rider that season.

Cant see him being any more expensive to fly in than Rosen. As for not fitting. Well to me that was only because they wanted THB in instead.

THB?

 

And Rosen stayed with Lindgren and had his own bikes and I think he shared Lindgren's mechanics/facilities

 

Claes had none of this (I think)

THB= Tully

 

As to the rest - Seemed to have his own bikes- no doubt stayed with a willing promotion helper as is the norm- but real prob I think was no Dalbers therefore no support for his cause.

How does THB even mean Tully? :P

 

Plus next year I wouldn't mind seeing Tully and Claes back :t:

 

What are the chances of Tully coming back early and coming into the team now to free up some of the points in the main body?

Ask our mercurial centre green announcer re your query. As to the rest- Tully-yes, if fully fit and Claes would always be in my team given that his form has remained at 2012 levels.

He was the lean mean racing machine wasn't he?

 

Only in the latter part of the season. Prior to that and an element of miss-givens re. Tully himself he was announced as THB. As an aside here,. Question your nick-name and it is very much a bye- bye to you.
