This double switch could go down as the worst ever .. Yeah. Because the 3 points scored from last time we were at Newcastle were a huge loss today. Edited June 24, 2018 by spin king junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 why laugh.doubt georgie has barely seen the track and it must be one of the hardest tracks to ride if you have never seen it before so no, not surprised broc didn't score tonight.he certainly looks a good signing to me having seen him thursday night.

Nowt to do with the track which you might be implying, just stupid tactics at the wrong time. There are 4 laps to each race, but some want it over during the first lap and in the last two weeks 2 riders have learned to think a bit more next time. I could ask how many riders have been badly hurt on the second bend at Owlerton. Incidentally I talked to one of the Sheffield riders tonight after the meeting, and he absolutely loved it.(note to oneself of his name for next year I think) Edited June 24, 2018 by Tsunami 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I know how much Newcastle speedway meens to you but the track is not good is it very poor shape not always prepaired bad but its certainly not always good and not the best for entertainment is a understatement  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel'n'Back Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Sheffield don't ride Newcastle well but I hope Kyle has a speedy recovery, that is our main concern at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so too, Sheffield might not ride Newcastle too well, but Kyle Howarth has been one of my favourite visitors at a Brough in the last few years and, his early absence marred the evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I hope kyle is Ok as hes always a good entertainer and tryer But as usual we have the usual harping on about the track ….. sorry to disappoint but it was 100% Kyles own fault (as was Riss the week before) …. went into the bend far too quick and lost control trying to avoid luddo as for the meeting .. took wait too long … I know there were plenty of stoppages but the ref was too slow with the 2 minutes otherwise predictable fare …… wright and shane good entertainment.... bjerre better than normal …. kurtz utter rubbish and nicol and wood were always going to find it tough ……… any hopes Sheffield had of getting a point disappeared in heat 1 (apart from Ipswich - every away seems to want us to win at home!!!! - strange old season) kus im afraid really needs to take a good look at himself ……… this trailing around last not trying it not acceptable ………… and please don't cite engine problems...…. there were quite a few comments made in the crowd about him …. not many repeatable !!!!!!!!!      1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment ,but like I said you have to ride to the conditions,you don't like the shape but Howarth rides for Wolves which is similar IMO ,so he has no issues with shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A think he was doing more to avoid taking Lindgren out, which led to his spill. Edited June 25, 2018 by ruffdiamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
