Panic buttons being pressed after ONE home defeat!"FFS. Crowds holding up well because they are generally being entertained and winning all but two home meetings this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid your money and supported the team instead of trolling on here when ever they get beat you'd know the crowds are holding up just fine... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) With it looking possible that Newcastle won't have a home or away fixture for nearly 4 weeks, will fans forget about speedway, or forget about last nights result ?

Nobody on here trolling mate just asking a simple question and making a simple statement which if I remember right we live in a free state so we’re allowed to do so, I’ve paid my money to watch for over 25 years but due to family reasons I haven’t been this season but what that has to do with you I dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to feel for the promotion how are they supposed to build momentum and get it advertised especially with the kids holidays starting soon, speedway as a whole is not doing itself any favours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SteelShoe Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Well the victory capped a fabulous weekend of results for the Comets . Regardless of how the Diamonds riders performed they were only as good as they were allowed too on the night . When i got into the stadium and heard that once again we had been unable to secure a guest and young Josh Embleton had agreed to step in i admit to being downbeat with all negative stuff that is going on in speedway right now. This didn't last long though because even with young Kyle who is finding life difficult in a tough league being unable to score the other four lads were just immense. I can't ever remember witnessing 4 Worky riders achieve 11 race wins in such circumstances on a track with such a big home advantage. The lads deserve huge plaudits for the way they attacked the track and once again young Cumbrian prodigy Dan Bewley demonstrated his talent and great racing acumen that deny his years and experience within speedway. I'm just so proud that he his riding for his local team this season, he is worth the admission on his own. I'm just so pleased for Laura the way things are going at the moment because if anyone deserves to be dealt a better hand than she has been dealt especially this season it is surely Laura. Thanks Laura for keeping things together when someone of lesser character may well have just given up . Your right up there in my book !

mauger65 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) luckily missed last nights horror show..... but we have been dodging bullets at home all season I like ranting roy…. but his digs at us keyboard warriors a few weeks ago seem somewhat misjudged …… all we ever pointed out is the team is weak … the averages don't lie with lakeside, peterboro, Glasgow and Workington still to visit us in the league it could be a somewhat of a depressing 2nd half of the season this team is going places …….. it certainly is Roy …. from 5th to 10th still sticking with my original bottom 3 of redcar, Berwick and Newcastle Edited July 9, 2018 by mauger65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing performance from our team with poor gating on a dusty track, but credit the Comets for riding so well. They have got some good results on the road and performed well again.

Even the R/R for Proctor got 8 points, rasmus has not been out of form, in fact he is having a great season and in the few home meetings that we have had, he has been brilliant , home and away he swapped places with mason and if rene had scored 7 or less from the home meeting v berwick , rene would have been @ reserve 7 days later ! worky rider averages are very close to each other . it is a different Jensen this year . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don't understand why we have our two highest averaged riders at 1 and 2?? They looked like they couldn't ride together on Sunday as they were both chasing the same piece of track. Would it not be a better option to have Ludvig at 5 or 3 and Aarnio or Kus at 2. I still finding Kus perplexing, fantastic in first 3 races (made the gate in all 3, I appreciate) and then solid last and not interested in last two, does he just give up as he cannot pass riders or what, but not very good from a Diamonds fans point of view to see him coasting around at the back and looking down at his machine (come on Matej your fooling nobody, we all know that their is sod all wrong with the bike!!). The defeat on Sunday was and should not have happened, yes Worky are a good team but to be 2 mean short (and had two riders who didn't score) and still beat us shows how vastly under the averages we are, yes Rasmus scored a boat load but we have two riders at reserve who should have been able to match his scoring. People may say that I am panicking after one home defeat, but the facts are we had 7 riders and they had 6 of which only 4 scored, we were the home team, now tell me that is not a worrying stat. Anyone know why we are not in the Pairs, or have I missed something and I still don't know why Ludvig was not in the 4's, I appreciate that meeting is now history, just find it strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pairs is the top ten (or eight) teams decided by combined greensheet average of top two riders from each team. Newcastle are eleventh since our top two (Ludde and Robbo) don't even add up to 14!

That's what you get with Kus,not a surprise but still 3 race wins cannot be sniffed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
