graz gp Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I thought Josh bates rode very well to-night he was in control of the bike and rode with a bit of style. I saw him speaking to Steady before the meeting it must have rubbed off. To easy for the Tigers. Newcastle were very disappointing apart from Hall, and he never won a race.

romans lovechild Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Newcastle fans - its no use slagging off the guests(doolan and wilko) when they both outscored your number one, poor showings on the road could be a lot to do with not having a genuine number one. tigers though were on fire tonight, top performances from bates, bellego, andre, ash and Jason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acclennell Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) we arnt good enough, havent been all season and arnt now.... we seen plenty of his back tonight by the looks of it. We even made simon lambert (gws) look like simon stead on sunday And yet still nothing is done about it and people ask why supporters don't turn up - simple the team has never been strong enough from day one and all the people stating that this is all that can be afforded - well don't complain then or ask for fans to turn up if that's the case. I think it's too late now even if changes are made as the season is already over should have been done weeks ago if not before a wheel was even turned.

Terrace Grumbler Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think we're too far into the season for changes to have much effect. The position is not surprising but still disappointing; it looks like another season as also-rans and we're getting close to the time when you look at the fixture list in the programme and think that there aren't many meetings left...but it seems the season only started a few weeks ago. Such is life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's match wasn't our team though was it? 2 of our 3 guests (kudos to RH though) had a disappointing meeting. It's pointless saying a team's not strong enough when it wasn't actually the team. 3 of the 4 riders missing tonight have promise to improve - plus Stevie Worrall who has been mostly sensational. Lewi K is much better than tonight's score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Duppcomic Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Good job Sheffield's guest only scored 6. An equivalent Simon Stead Score and it really would have been a massacre. The score doesn't reflect some great racing last night though. Give us racing like that every week and there will be few compaints regardless of how many guests the opposition have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy2706 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 There appeared to be a starting gate malfunction last night, I wondered if the two tapes infringements genuinely were infringements? Whilst it was a good result for Sheffield supporters who seemed fairly thick on the ground, it must be very disheartening for "genuine" Newcastle team members and supporters alike to see a result like this? That said, it was a better match than the result would suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonian Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I didn't really take much notice of the score last night until after heat 13, and was quiet surprised how far Sheffield were infront. The scoreline certainly didn't reflect the racing for me as it seemed much closer, although Sheffield were always in control. Some great races last night and all the tigers seemed to be on form except Arthur who struggled abit. Bates was very impressive and hopefully he's making that step up. Really good to see Ash Birks flying again, Garrity and Andre unstopable and Bellego gave some all out action racing. Good solid crowd again too and nice little promotion with the air horns for the kids, should do that more often. Can't quiet understand the moaning from diamonds fans though, you only had 3 teams members racing yesterday, so to say your embarassed etc is strange, it basically wasn't your team. Move on and go support your lads on sunday i'd say! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 A don't think many at Newcastle expect a result at Sheffield,,, so going into a match with a negative attitude, probably doesn't help :-( I'm all up for 'reverse psychology', but it's when to use it, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewi K is much better than tonight's score. Got nothing to do with yesterday's match, I have made these comments since day one and if you really think that this team is strong enough to challenge on any front then your clearly kidding yourself. Steve Worrall has been a big plus and you have to give the lad a massive amount of credit for that but the team is certainly not strong enough and never has been or will be - nothing to do with yesterday's result and by the way the score wasn't that much better than the League Cup one either.

Again it's not one match though why are people thinking this - can anyone on here please tell me that this team is strong enough without their black and white blinkers on.

ruffdiamond Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 That's maybe part of the problem with speedway,,, there are a few who have 'said this from day one',,, but to say the team will 'never' be strong enough is a bit hard predict, unless you're a clairvoyant,,, and by the way, yesterday's score was worse than the League Cup one, but don't let the facts get in the way ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Good to see a decent performance from Ash Birks after his max whilst guesting for Scunny. It would appear to have something to do with the Ricky Ashworth engine he's using! Good to see Ricky there again last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Are people over-looking that we at Newcastle have an in-experienced team? Let's not forget that Lewis Kerr was a 3 point reserve only 3 years ago and, like Ludvig last year, it isn't really his fault he's at number one. Steve W is only a few years into his speedway career. Ludvig is Ludvig and in the grand scheme of things still relatively inexperienced. Lewis Rose only just starting out really, too. Also most are coming back from injuries. Not excuses, really. These are just pointers. Perhaps we should give them a bit of slack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Good performance from the tigers,some great racing and a big score.We need to get Arthur up to speed.He could do with andre showing him the wide line.Well done to all our lads lets hope for the same next week.
