idanthyrsus Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I only get to away matches. And only a handful at that. Can't say I'm looking forward to going to Sheffield or Workington watching that team. Racing likely to be very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see where the heat wins are coming from It depends on how George lines the team up, but I can't see many teams coming to Brough and getting a heat advantage out of heats 2, 4 , 8 or 12 for a start. Ludde and Robbo can handle themselves around Brough, often beating top opposition riders. As I say, away from home will probably be a different kettle of bananas.

mauger65 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 just a pity about heats 1,3,5,6,7,9,10,11,13,and 15 where I see it will be difficult for us to get a heat advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Probably the worst team on paper in the last few years, in my opinion. Luckily, they ride on shale, so they have a chance to prove me wrong. Sincerely hope they do, because I don't like to see any team struggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joined this forum as I’m sick of reading the dross people keep posting. Newcastle have signed 7 riders willing to try their best for the club and as a supporter that’s all we can hope for, a rider going to try their best in every heat they ride. It’s time people get behind the club instead of keep stating how much they are going to struggle, stay positive as paper teams never win the league anyway and get behind the lads and support the diamonds.

Barbarian Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I agree with Dicko but it appears its people who support other teams are having most to say.It is what it is and supporters need to get behind the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idanthyrsus Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I rather suspect this is a "holding" 1-7. As soon as some of the polish mob realise they aren't going to ride and make themselves available, a change will be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 160 miles away do can't go to brough. Don't fancy several hours in the car to watch that team at Workington or Sheffield either. Can't see one rider on that team who is going to improve, therefore the team will get around 33 points away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondlil Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I assume you get the metro to chillingham road.& walk from there.if that’s the case,you walk up chillingham road and turn left onto the fossway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 It's all well and good saying this is a holding team until Polish teams release the riders they don't want is making the assumption that we could afford to sign any of them when they become available. Lets just get behind the riders putting on the Diamonds race bibs and enjoy watching speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
