StevePark Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Does this rule have any bearing on our team as we have 3 Brits, 2 Swedes, 1 Dane and 1 Aussie who has an English wife?? I believe that Christian is a classed as a long term resident (similar to Ricky Wells). It doesn't effect the others as they are EU.

dantodan Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Nothing much happening so I just thought I would list our riders with their averages Newcastle 1. Lewis Kerr 7.54 2. Stevie Worrall 7.46 3. Ludvig Lindgren 7.12 4. Anton Rosen 6.69 5. Christian Henry 6.24 6. Lewis Rose 4.05 7. Simon Nielsen 3.36 Team Total 42.46 If everyone can ride just a point above their averages we will be in for lots of last heat deciders. Home wins look quite likely but not so good in away matches but you only need a couple of riders to consistently hit big scores to transform this side of "second strings" into a team we can be proud of. I will be there every week hoping we have two or three riders to emerge as genuine heatleaders Edited January 29, 2015 by dantodan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be there every week hoping we have two or three riders to emerge as genuine heatleaders now that the full team is listed,,, what position would you have the member's in ???,,, here's my punt,,, No.1 Lewis Kerr - still waiting for the debate on wether or not, he may or may not be a 'real' No.1,,, but I'll base it on the 'fact', that by the rules of the averages, he has to start the season as our No.1,,, No.2 Christian Henry - good solid number 2 ;-) No.3 Anton Rosen,,, No.4 Ludvig Lindgren - I would pair these together cos their 'The Turnip Twins',,, Anton could have the red hat and Ludvig, the blue one, cos his bike is normally blue and yellow, so it matches and in away meeting's he can have the yellow hat, (well most of the time anyway),,, No.5 Stevie Worrall - I think he is a much better gater than any of 'The Turnip Twins' and think that goes a long way in this sport,,, No.6 Simon Neilsen - cos I would put Lewis Rose at 7,,, No.7 Lewis Rose - I see a lot of improvement from Lewis this season, and also think that if we need a TR by ht.8,,, it would be a better option,,, I would like to stress, the post is based on my own opinion, and I am not 'saying' it's right,,, even tho I believe it to be, thanks :-) Edited January 29, 2015 by ruffdiamond 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAMYAMBANDIT Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 For 'services to rule-fiddling'? I was a great fan of Ian, fiddling the rules 'NO' knowing the rule book inside out and interpreting to his advantage 'YES'. Perhaps a few more in speedway management should take a leaf out of his book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the system is not fiddling my friend, the system is the set of rules in place, by knowing the rules he could work the system in his favour. He was just a bl**dy shrewd old bas*a*d. A few more like him might put the mojo back into speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 No, fiddled. Breaking rules is fiddling! You will probably remember at Newport, when he insisted that a certain rider(same average ?) had to ride in the Newport team, whilst all along he knew he was wrong. But he got away with it and Worky won. I took the Newcastle team to Worky in about 2002, and he stopped me using Wayne Broadhurst, who was an 'old hand'. I knew he was still under 150 meetings limit, but he argued with the ref Tony Steele and it was referred to Peter Morrish to confirm the position. Peter replied before the meeting, he could ride for us as he had 3 meetings left as an old hand, but of course Ian didn't tell the ref till after the meeting started. I had paid off Wayne and called off his booking for Glasgow on the Sunday, and had to use a local junior, and I then booked Richie Hall for his debut at the Glasgow meeting. We were holding our own in this must win meeting, and in heat 13 or 15, if we got a 5-1 we had the win with Jesper and Bjarne. Even with the riders on green light starters orders he opened the pits gate and ran towards them down the straight, which was the most stupidist thing anybody could do. He then claimed that Stoney's Dad had accused Bjarne of using an illegal tyre. which of course was not true. If he had left it, he could have got Bjarne excluded with the Machine examiner after the meeting. I got Bjarne and Jesper together, told them what had happened, wound them up and of course they romped home with the 5-1 over Stoney and Peter Karlsson. I was told later that Karlsson's clutch was slipping, and he couldn't it fix in time, so they were trying to buy time to get it fixed. Thomas was livid as they were out of contention in the PL title, but of course we went to bottom club Glasgow and just got beat, missing the points that Wayne would have got. Thomas won again in a way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Is that Lindgren team riding in the picture and looking across to see where Lewis is? Didn't think he could team ride according to some Lindgren is Captain this year - I wish him all the best. I never said that he couldn't Team Ride by the way - I think I said that he Team rode nowhere near often enough. I look forward to seeing him Team Ride a bit more often when I come to Brough for the Cup Meetings. I want to give the lad a chance to prove himself as Team Captain and Team Rider this year.
