Newcastle 2016


Recommended Posts

Would not go for Rosen, after his showing on Sunday, I appreciate he was not riding his own equipment but did not look fast at all. Shame Compton does not fit. Sounds like promotion do not want to leave it too long as it puts to much pressure on the reserve, Rose in particular I think.

this showed at Workington on Saturday. Rose and Phillips didnt manage to beat an opponent all night which cost us dearly. At home RR is ok with Rose flying at Brough but we cant put that type of pressure on them away. Plus if one gets injured we are then in real trouble.

Not sure of the best option but pretty sure George and Alan will be working on it as we type

Would Kozza Smith fit? Not too sure how well he goes around Brough but I know he's a good rider, especially in a team without pressure, 5.87 is his average, although I don't think this would fit :( Andre would NEVER fit unfortunately

 

A fti Aarnio

palovaara

Manzares (If it's not his visa causing the problem)

Rosen

Eklof

Aspegren

Birks

or Rusty Harrison would do me

 

 

Edit: How about one of these new Aussies on a 5.00? Heard plenty of their names about

JOSEF FRANC???

Joe Jacobs

 

.....I'll stop now lol

Oh, I had the feeling Birks had but didn't know about Harrison, such a shame

Frightening to hear about what happened to Kenni Larsen, I hope he gets well soon, even though I never got chance to watch him at Brough, it makes me really sad to see that

Am I right on thinking that BV own Steve Worrall and KL own Lambert and Rose, so when you race Scunny on bank holiday Monday you'll be missing those 3 and possibly Aarnio will still be out injured? So only 3 regular Diamonds!

I expect Aarnio will be (sadly) replaced by then.

Still, it seems strange to accept a date when your top 2 and reserve are missing.

It's already happened this season where only Phillips and Lindgren were there for us, and maybe one other, I can't remember and can't be botherted to go look, it seems daft to me

Hopefully not :(

That was only a challenge though I believe? A competitive meeting is a completely different matter.

Away to Redcar in the (abandoned) Tyne Tees Trophy match. The other there was Matej Kus.

He would be very welcome back later this or indeed another season! But we need more

than R/R while Tero recovers from his operation.

Newcastle are a top 4 looking team to me, but they won't finish there if their most influential riders are always missing.

Aye true, I didn't really think about it only being a challenge

Oh, I thought Kus wasn't there either so I had my tiny little brain confused :P

I agree with you, we will need a change if Tero is out for a while, I'm just saying I hope he's not and he's back much sooner than everyone thinks

So Aarnio's average for next month is 6.24, so wouldn't it be worth waiting until next month to make a change, because there'd be a lot more points to play with then we could get someone like Josef Franc (If he still even rides speedway, but I watched him in the WC a few years back and he's an ex Diamonds so knows the track) on a 5.67, or where did Steve Boxall disappear to? Maybe not the most popular rider but he seems like a hard riding number 2 for sure, and how well would Steen Jensen ride Brough? Impressed me for Berwick a few years ago, just some thoughts, probably waaay off the right ones, but there's nothing like starting some good ol' speculation ^_^

Kalle Katajisto 6.07??? A Finn for a Finn, and being part Finnish myself, yes please!! :)

But doesn't that mean we'd have to declare the team on Sunday itself, so I doubt it would be ready in time for this weekend :P

yeah, your probly right and I suppose all the offices will be shut on Sunday and Monday with it being a holiday, so no admin folk around, but ye can only try :)
