For those who didn't want him back, the last paragraph is just for you!! http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100824 I take it one is allowed an opinion Steve. You know mine. I don't hate Lindgren by the way, I just think that a change would have been better for him, and for Newcastle Diamonds. I do not think that he has reached the heights that his obvious potential demonstrated earlier in his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was apt to highlight this part of the article, due to a few on here saying they didn't want him back. I think "hate" is a strong word to use, but, like many riders, Ludvig is a bit like Marmite. You either like him (as a rider/capatain), or you don't!

mauger65 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 i really cant understand the grief luddo gets ....... the daft criticism he does not team ride .... eer yes he does the lad is enigma though ... even at brough he could beat craig cook in one race and then finish last in next ........ and that's part of the frustration with him...... he has undoubtedly talent, speed and ability but at times his gating gloves become boxing gloves !. and undoubtedly hes a better rider than his away form and that's where he needs to improve I for one am delighted he's back because he is entertaining and an adopted Geordie :-) and by the way .......... luddo averages 8 (proper average inc bonus points which is how all riders measure themselves and get paid on !) and lets be fair he would probably average 9 at best cos of his gating ..... lets hope he does it this season 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulS Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Lindgren is a talented rider, good round Brough Park, and a positive addition to 2018 team. He has however had some poor spells in the last season or two and I think he should be targeting 8+ in the season ahead. If he doesn't achieve that I don't envisage any trophies for the team.

ruffdiamond Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I hope the rest of the team, well Ash and Robbo don't feel dis-heartened because nobody is talking about them,,,, Ludde should have his own thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Our new co-promoter has been announced, but no mention of a new main sponsor. I cannot see the team surviving even with financial consraints without one but once again, the silence is deafening. Surely the club can confirm that we have one even if they can't be named just yet for a good reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Martin been officially accepted by the Brotherhood, a mean BSPA yet ??? maybe a sponsor could bd linked to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I watched Lindgren get passed by Luke Ruddick fair and square, it’s laughable 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
