Newcastle 2016


Recommended Posts

Yes Kenni Larsen and Kenneth Bjerre would have been my 2 'fantasy speedway' choices for the number one spot but I suspected both were just unrealistic.

 

The question is, who is an out-and-out number one that the promotion could actually secure and afford?

 

Add said #1 onto my team list there and maybe that team will do well enough to get the necessary 50-100 extra fans through the turnstiles…

On a sadder note: does anybody know whether the GRT Media DVDs will continue? i.e. were there business partners involved who could carry the business forward, or perhaps a buyer for the business?

 

Sadly, they won't continue.

See there are a lot of people wanting the majority of the team from this year to return - honestly think that would be a big mistake although I wouldn't be surprised if it happened either. Two riders I would have kept from this year are the ones signed up so a good start but think the rest of the team needs to be fresh blood to be competitive in challenging on all fronts - do I think that will happen no but we will see as to be honest I thought LL would have been the first name on George's list but so far no word. George said at the end of last season that there was a requirement of 70 fans to add to the current attendances and I will state now if there 'on paper' looks to be a competitive team I will be back but not if it's the same old same old as the last few seasons.

KB isn't realistic. That team looks weak at reserve too and personally Rosen is a no for me. He was poor last sesson.

 

The 3 point rule was badly thought out for me. I don't know who these 3 pointers are and fear some of the northern tracks in paricular will have to take riders who are not ready for PL racing. The big issue though is that it could cost riders on 4 point ish averages team places, as I would imagine most teams will want an experienced high scoring reserve alongside the 3 pointer. We'll see.

Good team but there is no chance of Kenneth Bjerre signing, he has Poland and my guess is Liam Carr to Edinburgh or Berwick

 

Liam has just signed for Cov in the NL so seeing that they are a Friday night team I cannot see him at Edinburgh?

 

Whoever is signed it is worth making them an asset to get priority over fixture clashes.

I reckon now that Barker has gone to Glasgow after all theres gonna be a big news Worrall homecoming....

Would love to think so.

Just been Tweeted that "You Diamonds fans could well be in for an exciting couple of days! stay tuned" Whatever that means!

Was that tweet from a reliable source or a stirrer? Edited by bobh
