NJC71 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Is it just me or does the PL seem short of fixtures this year? Only 6 matches throughout the whole of June and only 5 currently scheduled for July for the Diamonds. For the riders who aren't doubling up or riding abroad that is a paucity of matches. Must be a real struggle to make any money. Needs looking at in the Winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a "small" point for this year Steve, but this happens a lot to us, very thin schedule for the first 3 months then everything for the last 3, no wonder we never win owt, always go better fresh!!

NJC71 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Might have something to do with a certain footy competition being held in Brazil?[/ If the World Cup was an issue I would have expected more fixtures in early June before it started and more after it finishes. According to the fixture list, if we don't make the play-offs our season will be over by the end of August. Or alternatively why bother at all. Let's just not have a season when there is a World Cup or European Championship on. Rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) It's not very often a teams heat leaders fail to beat an opponent. If Newcastle get a 5-1 here in heat 13 thats exactly what has happened. edit > Can't even be rubbish properly! Nick Morris has beat an opponent.

andypoll Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Charles Wright doing a great job again. Overshadowed by injuries to members of both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4life Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 First of all, hope all of the Injured riders wont be out for too long after there crashes tonight. Kerr's in particular looking a bad one. Get well soon to all of Them. Secondly, the track was awful, In particular bend 2 and finally a rider gets hurt because of the state of that bend, but no doubt we will get told it was 'a rider error'. Absolute nonsense. Overall, diamonds rode well with Mills in particular impressing as did Wright for the Rebels who imo was worth the admission money alone and was always in the thick of it.

HadrianDog Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 well done milsy. great effort. Yeah, he was a revelation. Tell me again why your lot dumped him? Clearly, as with Schrambo , a change of scenery has worked wonders. We may win a prize for having the oldest reserve pairing, but hey, if it works!
