RS50 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I was told at the weekend other teams are not helping us with fixture changes so that is why theres no update,and riders we are after are wanting silly money or going to miss too many meetings so theres no change imminent unless its changed since the weekend.The new promotors are trying but nothings going our way at the moment. Thanks for the info. I do realise making team changes can be difficult (but having seen indications from management they were considering a change thought an announcement would be made). Regarding the league fixtures, do we not just have to arrange a match with Plymouth, and a second match with Workington? Surprised we did not use last Thursday, nice day in July. As there are two Thursdays free, before late September and before (I presume) the cut off date for play off qualification dates, would have thought using these two dates would be the solution. As far as I can see, no opposition rider would be riding for an elite or National league team on those dates. The promoters did say they were looking to stage around 25 matches in the season. With play off qualification looking, unlikely would have though best to get matches in now rather than staging "meaningless" matches at end of season when weather could be "unfortunate" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we are up against.Wonder if roynon will be offered his place back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king junior Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Don't be to surprised to see covatti line uo for yourselves I'd be happy with that, especially if he came as an asset too. Or a straight swap of Roynon for Nielsen would do nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Adam Roynon now available..... and Roland Benko...... Having already sacked him would Sheffield be allowed to re-introduce Roynon, and would the rider be all that keen on the idea anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Simon is more than welcome at Newcastle... Too right Steve - he would be a perfect fit. Also - he likes our Track which is obviously a big plus for him. Could we not sign him as a replacement for Schramm, re-declare the Team with Simon as our Rider? Obviously I would like Schramm to be fit soon - but - equally obviously, it appears, sadly, that this isn't going to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to both, but I don't know if we can redeclare for this Thurdsay (although Ben Wilson has been declared in Sheffs team for Thursday). We'd have to be quick to get Simon in for Thurs., if that is what George and his co-promoters have in mind. Edit: 48 hours before a meeting, springs to mind for any changes, but I'm sure someone will correct me if that is incorrect.

DAVEK Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I think the re-declaration of the Sheffield team would have been done before the press release today. Welcome home Ben and good luck. Nice to have you back again Edited July 15, 2014 by DAVEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Schramm showing no signs of a return, and Simon's availability now, I would go for that switch in readiness for Sunday. Simon did not go well at Sheffield, so I reckon we could go with someone better on Thursday. Possibly Ole Greenwood or Nicky Barrett.
