idanthyrsus Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's because it's been updated from the original page, when it said Kus was riding! Curse the internet and it's ever changing content. It makes fools of all of us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike7164 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The link shows Kus is not riding. Am I missing something? Apologies as the info on the link has been modified after I posted that jackofdiamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike7164 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, but its not Richie Worrall guesting, its Kyle Howarth and Ryan Fisher: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100496 Is that correct as Fisher is due to ride for his own club at Berwick tomorrow according to the BSPA website?? Even though Our official website states the same as above post!! Edited April 15, 2016 by mike7164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) God knows only time will tell what team we will end up with what a shambles the sport is in. The simple mistake of which week it was was a BSF member, nowt to do with the organisation of Speedway. Don't be so judgemental.

Simple mistake that's maybe but you are mot telling me the sport is run correctly? and has no error of its ways! That is not only directed at Newcastle as the above post wasn't either.

Last Newcastle away meeting - 2 guests This away meeting - 1 guest and 1 R/R In the middle of the season this can be possibly expected with injuries and the like, but for the first couple of matches I would hope that each team is full strength. Without wishing to take the thread (which admittedly I started) off track, the decision to allow riders to ride for two teams is just utter nonsense. It was done to try and paper over the cracks of the elite league not being able to offer mid to lower average'd riders enough meetings to make a living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Newcastle Speedway's, not Speedways fault short term although long term it is Speedway's fault as a whole, Berwick have managed to sign riders who can make it to all of there meetings, Newcastle will of known about having to go to Thursday tracks, Friday tracks and Saturday tracks as well as Sundays but have went ahead and signed riders who have other commitments, you's may well have a better team than Berwick but I would prefer to come say 6th and watch my teams 7 riders home and away than come say 2nd/3rd and watch 6 riders and R/R at home and 5 riders R/R and a guest away due to your riders riding in different leagues and countries, you just have to make best with what you can work with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past Berwick have had riders who have missed meetings on a reasonably regular bases Rymel, Franc, Edberg, Alden, Franchetti , Bellego etc, though if Berwick have now decided to only sign riders who can or are willing to commit to every meeting then I applaud them for doing so.

jenga Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) being strong at home does not g/tee success . worky unbeaten at home last season , but still failed the reach the play off,s Edited April 16, 2016 by jenga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Like Berwick the Comets have suffered in the past with doubling up riders and riders who do individual meetings on a Saturday, this year we have none. There will probably a couple of meetings which Ricky misses due to GP qualifiers etc but on the whole we should track our 1-7 more often than not. The doubling up problem is worse this year as well with Belle Vue moving to a Friday night (whenever they start racing at home) and King's Lynn going to a Thursday. It seems Newcastle will suffer more than most but their promotion knew this when putting their team together. It's an excellent side on paper made even stronger today by Richie Worrall replacing Kus, I think the Comets unbeaten run at home is under threat.

NJC71 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Strong top 3 for the Dianonds but Lewis Rose will have to have a really good night for us to have any chance of picking up a point or two. With r/r again for Tero he'll provably need to take 7 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 People may have mixed thoughts about Tero's ability as a rider, but he is a whole hearted trier, who will not duck out of meetings unless he genuinely is injured. If he doesn't appear, he doesn't earn and unlike others, he hardly has an extensive list of other fixtures to fall back on to ride in and earn from.
