pablo133 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 i still dont see how sitting in the car park (not driving) can add up hours ? also how come we replace worrall with a 6 point rider in josh bates ?? surely there must be someone with a similar average to worrall available ?

Noticed that just looked at his scores at Scunthorpe this season and pretty average has to be said - not that many PL matches today but there are a few EL matches so maybe a few doubling up riders are unavailable. Surprised not gone for Robbo as usual. Edited August 29, 2016 by acclennell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8scot Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) How can the coach drivers run out when he has probably sat in the car park half asleep from 6pm - 9.45 pm strangeGreat bus company, sponsor of Edinburgh Speedway...... The bus took fans to the Forth Road Bridge for a sponsored walk prior to coming to Newcastle Tachographs are complicated things Edited August 29, 2016 by Gr8scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Great bus company, sponsor of Edinburgh Speedway...... The bus took fans to the Forth Road Bridge for a sponsored walk prior to coming to Newcastle by the sounds of it, they were nearly doing a sponsored walk home,,, mind you they might ov raised more money tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I thought Rosen's last average was 5.07? I'm just quoting Anton's final average from the Speedway GB website http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/pl15_issue_final.pdf Have they really signed someone? New riders announced soon RiderS??? Agree, but it is open to abuse (another process open to abuse in GB speedway) Twisted Knee Bruised Back Sprained Wrist Sore Foot All difficult to disprove....... And could put a rider out for a month if required?? I would agree it is open to abuse, but then again ANY injury bad enough to keep a rider out and 6 men teams in the play offs is enough to ruin it imo, I hate watching meetings without 14 riders, it just feels like something is missing lol, George made a signing last night??? Ben Hopwood? XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I just realized, people are saying riders to be announced soon, that could suggest 2 riders Matej Kus and Lewis Rose out for Tero Aarnio and Anton Rosen maybe? It works average wise, and I clearly have too much time on my hands with it being a bank holiday Would hate to see Kus go but if it means good things for the team, it could happen He's been one of my favorites this year Usually a rider , but seriously i get what you are saying i would rather watch my 1-7 but injuries are part & parcel I'm afraid and usually dictate how your season pans out. I realize this, but surely SOMETHING can be done to allow teams to field 7 riders every meeting if they want, even in football, the most ridiculous sport ever, they have that signing a goalkeeper outside the transfer window or something? Maybe in speedway it could be signing a back up outside the cut off date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem unfair when you lose a rider due to injury as is the case last night I am sure George English has something sorted though . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much doubt it to be honest especially as for the last month MK scores have picked up a bit Edited August 29, 2016 by acclennell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acclennell Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I don't want it to happen but something has to give Think I'd prefer MK and VP taking LR rides between then to be honest as think that would get more points than TA and AR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Think I'd prefer MK and VP taking LR rides between then to be honest as think that would get more points than TA and AR Probably I would as well, but there is then the risk of another injury and we are well and truly stuffed then. By bringing in ONE new rider we are least better placed if we do have injuries to still contest the RaceOffs. We will hear very soon.

dantodan Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Come on Diamonds plus three. Step up to the plate Ludde, Matej, Victor and Danny go like "Bats Outta Hell" Ricky, Josh and Arthur just prove the faith Newcastle's bosses have in you The club that is paying you need results. Sorry Scunthorpe but I think this Newcastle plus three side may just do the business. A close contest with the diamonds winning by the odd point or two. Such a shame when a promoter signs a very good team and then has to book in 3 guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
