Mr Blobby Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Somewhere I think we can keep it close and get a point. Couple of changes in our riding order however. Ricky goes to number 1 Sam to 5. With mark Riss going to 4 and Max Clegg going to number 6. Ben hopwood making his debut at reserve for the diamonds in this one also.

DiamondGlory Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Us getting a win is pretty much always a given, but I agree. Wouldnt be surprised if the Monarchs took a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Weather report for those fans above the Border coming down to Newcastle today. It's slightly overcast at the moment, but the sun is just about to start to peek out and be out for the rest of the day. Little chance of rain, with maybe a spot in the afternoon, and the temperature is forecast to be 15 to 16 degrees. So a nice day for a day out, and to see a good meeting between old foes the Diamonds versus the Monarchs. We tend to win up there, and they tend to win tour place, but I think we will win this one to deny them a point. See you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8scot Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks for the weather report Tsunami Our result will lie in the hands of Max I fear. If the change to reserve suits him.... great, but if not we will miss Mark taking extra rides. Safe meeting for all See you there indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was hoping Monarchs would have considered moving Josh from riding in the opening heat away from home, in order that he could see how others were riding the track in the first two heats. They could have kept the previous pairings for the majority of races, albeit in a different riding order , if they had lined up as Wells, Mark Riss, Masters, Pickering, Eric Riss, Clegg, Davey. Not sure we will restrict the Diamonds to a six point win, given the impressive displays by Worrall & Lambert at Peterborough on Saturday. If Clegg cannot improve at reserve today, imo we should be looking at the likes of Liam Carr as an alternative option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 If you are going to give Clegg a chance to pull his finger out at reserve it needs to be a bit longer than one meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 No Chatzone updates today Paulco, they are helping us in trying to secure a texter. Blimey they usually have no problems in that department , apart from the one time Midnight Lady asked me if I could do it at an Edinburgh v Glasgow meeting at Armadale a few years back , and the Chatzone nearly exploded lol . I didn't have to do it in the end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 If you are going to give Clegg a chance to pull his finger out at reserve it needs to be a bit longer than one meeting. Agree - we've kept faith with him this long we need to give him a run at reserve to try to rebuild some confidence. With a little bit of luck and who knows even a bit of gamesmanship (absolutely don't condone gamesmanship ), we could nick a point out of this. But Newcy are pretty useful round their own field.

TheScotsman Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Need to ramp up the luck a little bit by the look of the score. And maybe we are getting a wee bit now!! Cleggy - 3 wins!! Pick the bones out of that!! 2 down after 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 No-one in the Chatzone Predictions thread I don't think!! Ability has always been there. Newcy should be a good kind of track for him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 So pleased for Max Clegg. Never nice to see any rider struggling. That's one hell of a turn around in form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well I never - great 2 points. Keep the faith. So pleased for Max Clegg. Never nice to see any rider struggling. That's one hell of a turn around in form Indeed I had expected him to kick on this season so have been surprised at his struggles. But tonight was an incredible score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
