diamond_ren Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Id take a chance on Ellis Perks even if it meant he would have to start in the main body of the side he is hungry and will only progress imo. Much rather sign him than someone like Aarnio for example. 1) R Wells 2) E Perks 3) L Rose 4) New Dane/Swede 5) R Bach 6) A Morris 7) A Bowtell Would this fit does anyone know? Struggling to come up with line ups with not many number 1s left. Edited November 29, 2017 by ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_ren Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Bach and Rose have Polish contracts To ride on a Saturday or Sunday? Ive literally no idea who we will end up with. Could be a team with no out and out number one just strength in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Diamond Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) This lack top riders is why I was worried about raising point limit. It sounds great on paper until some teams can’t put together competitive side. I can see 5 or 6 good sides rest filling the numbers and hoping to survive. If we run and I hope we do Diamonds might need 4.5/5 pointers at both reserve spots to even be competitive, Signing 2 pointer can’t happen unless heatleader situation changes. Only hope might be going abroad like we used to hopefully find another Kenni Larsen type rider, if not might at least get few assets.

ruffdiamond Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 apart from Worrall and Lambert, that were expected to leave and, maybe Lindgren needs a change,,, is there any other of the Diamonds 17 squad looking like going elsewhere atm ? a suppose I meant,,, has any of Morris, Robson, Rose, Hopwood, Bowtell and even Phillips mentioned needing to find a team ?

Dandelion Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I'd like us to sign someone like Patrick Hansen, Patrik Mikel or Alex Woentin, just watching the World U-21 championships from last year, there's a lot of exciting young foreigners that could come in and become out and out riders within a few years, especially Patrick Hansen, I'd love to see a new dane, and Rene Bach (If Poland doesn't get in the way) Lukas Fienhage could be another Kai Huckenbeck and Nicklas Porsing also, just with the KL connection, we've seemed to do that in the past with Rose/Kerr/Lambert I dunno And I think I'm really being desperate now, but Thomas H Jonasson on a converted average would only be 6.50... It would never happen but he looks nice on such a low average And I've always been a big fan of him, maybe it's what he needs, a big step back in his career and then build back up Edited November 29, 2017 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'fixed night' thing could lead to more double-uppers, as its effects are lessened. Edited November 30, 2017 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 agree,,, there may be a few without a team. This 'fixed night' thing could lead to more double-uppers, as its effects are lessened. Problem is those possible double uppers you are talking about if they average over 6 points in the premier league and don't have a championship average from 2017 , then they are not allowed in championship for 2018. So there very few potential heat leaders around that would be available and for Newcastle and Peterborough being Sunday tracks it makes it even harder to get top end riders.

balderdash&piffle Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 yeah, but if there's no decent riders for a Sunday, what can ye do ? Same problem up the road, we got a second heat leader riding at No1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alang Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Same problem up the road, we got a second heat leader riding at No1 Not according to the club website we haven't.We've got an untouchable at No.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's asking a lot but we can always wait and see if the BSPA see some sense and reverse there inane decision to ban riders like Nicholls and Kennett from entering the championship .Perhaps a joint delegation of affected promoters should get together and put there case to the BSPA /SCB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(× or ÷ ) easily to suit both leagues,,, but didn't see it anywhere or hear that it was for one season only !!!

Yeah but if they do that won't the team who have already declared or started naming riders kick up one almighty fuss!!! I'm struggling to see where our out out and out number one is gonna come from, assuming we go down that route. I think you need a rider who can win heats 13 and 15 (home and away) and finding one of those with an average below 8 with what is left is gonna be difficult, they are like rocking horse s**t. We'll just have to wait and see. I am assuming that Lewis Rose won't be a Diamond as I believe he has signed with Rzeszow and they must be a Sunday track as Aaron Summers is also in their declared lineup/squad and as he has sign for Berwick, I find it hard to believe they would have signed a rider with continental commitments on the same night as them. I appreciate that Rose and Summers are part of a 16 man squad and may never get a ride but it has to be factored in, especially is the team does well and they are required at the end of the year. After all, Poland must be obeyed or suffer the consequences!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
