Been following from a distance as always . Like everyone else I'm looking forward to finding out who the last 2 names on the team sheet are ! . I' sure the promotion are looking at every option and configuration. Who ever the last 2 guys are I'm sure it will finish the team off a treat . I'e been looking along all other teams and I think we have a good shout there is a lot of untapped strength in our guys so far . I' sure we will bring the best out in each other 100% . Team building across the the championship is kind of the same far as I can see . Most teams have a plus and I can also see a weakness . Our team so far is quite solid our guys all have the capabiliy to excel at various times through the year and we have the strength throughout to help a team member that might be struggling once in a while . If we all click at the same time there is going to be a thrashing handed out once in a while lol . As for myself I can tell you I'm in a better place mentally and with fitness . With the help of some valued sponcers and new ones I've acuired since coming Newcastle again I'm super happy with how the bikes are coming on ! . Im Looking forward to a Stella year this season riding for Newcastle in hoping the club will be able to rely on me when needed on the track and in the pits . Helping out and supprt with the other guys when needed . Im sure George and everyone else are going to finish the team the best way possible for the club . Looking forward to seeing you all soon ! Always good to hear you so enthusiastic Carl. Hope you and us Diamonds have a good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 So it’s in this weeks speedway star that it’s unlikely we will get Eddie Kennett due to the traveling from his home. Bit of a shame but maybe not totally unexpected. Maybe that’s why foreign riders get team places over brits though if there not willing to travel for a ride.

In the case of Kennett you can understand, if the money isn't right. Did I half read in the International section that one of the top German(?) ice racers has moved to Newcastle??? Get him signed, he'll be a revelation in this weather! It'll probably be September before this lot melts!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the DMU will recommend someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that we were pinning our hopes on Kennett but unfortunately it doesn't look like it will happen. Atleast we showed some ambition in going for him. Plan B or C now by the looks of it. Don't know whether it has come down to finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 What of the chances of us still getting Lewis Rose. I understand he has signed in Poland and according to Stal Rzeszow they have named all of the following riders as part of their squad, no disrespect to Lewis but what chance has he got of actually getting a ride? @GregHancock45 @morra2012 @NicklasPorsing M.Kuciapa T.Jędrzejak D.Stachyra E.Mazur @RorySchlein3 @Rose822 @aaronsummers88 @kyle_howarth P.Wojdyło M.Rząsa M.Curzytek A.Bieliński A.Potoniec They have named 16 riders, they only need 7 (10 max I would think) and I do not know how much experience Rose has on Polish tracks, but would he even be ahead of Summers, Schlein or Howarth. I am not meaning to sound unkind to Rose as I think he is a cracking racer and love watching him, just if he is sitting out the Championship (not saying he is) waiting on a ride in Poland, will he even get one? I am struggling to come up with 2 names to fill our remaining slots and think Rose is a good shout and I don't think he would miss many or any fixtures based on above.

How many meetings did Cookie get for his Polish team last year. I think they have included riders like Summers, Rose and Howarth (no disrespect to these riders) to pass some ruling but probably have very little intention of using any of them.

proud panther Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Would love to see Kennett change his mind & sign for Newcastle, & there aren't that many matches per season now. If he signed for a southern team, he would still have all the away matches to travel to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
