Why dosent everyone just wait and see its the same every year who gona sign whos not and mr parks

stop putting everyone done mr no all your just a hanger on in the pits

 

That'll be Mr Park (no 's') and I haven't put anyone 'down', just giving The White Knight the information that it's not only George English putting the team together. As for 'hanger on' we've been through all that before.

Totally agree with you... George said himself in Speedway star couple of weeks ago that him and a certain other promotor/ director were in long distance phone calls over the make up of the team

thats where the shrewd management/team building come's into it ;)

 

your taking more of a leap of faith with inexperienced unknowns ...................

 

I think my real point is the weakness of reserves in this years huge 10 team league ... means that a team whose 2 reserves could click - could walk away with the league easily

I can easily see a decent reserve pairing picking up 10 points per meeting (say sissis and ayres riding for Glasgow) whilst a few others with 2 danny Philips (a little harsh I know) will average 3 points per every 8 races in a meeting - a 7 point differential is enormous and I can see that happening

 

so far - teams are packing the main body and the its reserves being squeezed............. I just think the 40 point average will create a runaway league champion (and sadly not us)

How can you say that without knowing one single signing for the Diamonds so far?

you could be right,,, maybe someone will come up with a couple of strong reserves.

 

It didnt happen last time , could Newcastle afford to go up ? Last time we were in the top league we closed following year , could be interesting.

Last time was optional though.

 

 

a think 'last time' there was a huge difference between the leagues also.

That won't happen they'll be miles over the top. They couldn't even realistically fit them in to their top 5. They would take up 7 points out of 40 leaving 33 ish for the top 5 so you are not going to get a powerhouse at the top end with that.

Another point is finding guests if your 2 point reserve is injured. That is going to be harder. for example if your no. 7 is averaging 2.4. Last year you could get anyone on a 3.00 to guest, this year it'll have to be someone below 2.4. Narrows the options considerably.

Can see a few teams going to win the league.then throwing it in the play offs

I can certainly see that happening.

 

Serious question.

 

Would anyone want Newcastle to be Promoted?

 

Personally I would prefer them to stay in the Championship rather than taking a chance on Promotion and everything going belly up.

 

Only my opinion.

Just think of the Monday night racing as Polish league ride on a Sunday

Would that only be an issue if you use riders who race on a Sunday, in your own team!! Surely they could not make us switch our race night just because it clashes with another countries race night. Would not want to go into the Elite League (sorry Premiership) anyway, has too many problems and I think the Championship is/was a better league.
