Agree perhaps you can copy and paste this on the Glasgow thread as they all have ESP on there and know it was the Promotions fault . 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly Like the time Andrew Tully fractured his spine in press and practice and instead of changing the team before the season started waited for nearly four month for Andy to put his self right... or the various other riders who have been injured and who would have been dropped in an instant by other clubs yet over the years the Newcaslte promotions have stood loyally by their riders... even riders who have been sadly out of form and the fans have been baying for them to be cut consecutive Newcastle promotions have blindly and stubbornly backed their team selection. (Rightly or Wrongly whatever your take is on the matter) There will be more to this than meets the eye that's for sure and it may or may not come out in time as to what has gone on but it certainly isn't as contrived as Vape Gape over the border.... So yep pretty disgusting... oh the comment that is... not the actions of the promotion Regards THJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer48 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Well if this goes the way a few people have surmised then I think the Diamonds promotion are doing exactly the right thing. Weakish top end with a solid middle order hasn't exactly been a success in the recent past and with Danny Phillips at reserve I don't think that end of the team will be pulling up any trees either. Heats 13 and 15 are often crucial and I think the team will be more competetive with a solid top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 If the rider was told that his services were no longer wanted then it is a poor show from the Newcastle Promotion. Whatever the reason for releasing a rider do it via text message is wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a rider texts a promotion to say I'm going elsewhere as he's been offered a better deal which does happen as it did to the diamonds a few seasons ago & the rider was never mentioned which means that the promotion who have a hard enough job to assemble a team had to reschedule the team at the time & had to inform a couple of riders sorry but we've been dropped in it,,so is that WRONG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have done it by facebook or whats app, texting is so old fashioned these days. Oh, and two wrongs don't make a right, apparently.

As it happens it was very touch & go that we ran last season but I can't really remember of the years I've gone that there has never been on the verge of shutting.. do you get your information off a doom & gloomer sauce I wonder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) What a great shame Victor has gone Not going to comment as I don't know the circumstances... All I can do is speculate the possible changes? Steve and Gino/Mikkel B in and Matty and Victor out maybe? Although I would love to see Tero back, interesting times ahead... Edit: Tero and Matej fit perfectly for Matty and Victor 1. Thomas Jorgensen 2. Nike Lunna 3. Lasse Bjerre 4. Matej Kus 5. Tero Aarnio 6. Danny Phillips 7. Max Clegg.
