Adam Roynon is always been overlooked , great gater and racer . Low average as he was injured last season . He would do a great job .

Forgot about Adam!! I did hear a few weeks back that he is returning? But he is another who HATES Brough... Says he's happy just to finish the meeting in one piece when he's there...

And just about every season before that.  I like Adam, but he should have quit the sport years ago.

So basically, if what you say is right, we're looking at something like...

1. Claus Vissing 8.43 DEN
2. Max Clegg 4.92 GBR
3. Ondrej Smetana 5.00 CZE
4. Matthew Wethers 6.92 AUS
5. Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 SWE
6.  4.26  
7. Jacob Bukhave 4.00 DEN

 

I'm guessing a former Potter, with the points left and who hasn't got another team, is Tom Perry? Or Ben Wilson if he still rides?

Gino Manzares is desperate to come back to England i think his average is around 4 something.

Yes, Vissing is a very good rider, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't want him on a 8 and a half... Plus I don't like him (Just my opinion) Seems very hot headed and erratic, inconsistent and not really a number 1... Just my opinion though :) Oh, and he doesn't go round Brough very well either

Agree. He's 8.5 without having ridden in heat 13 or 15 much last season (it matters). Riding at 1 he'll struggle to average 7 IMO. 

But no point in complaining about the team.  It is what it is and money aside and starting after everyone else aside we're just not an attractive proposition to the majority of riders.

Good shout, would like to see Gino in Britain... How about Aaron Fox? He made a good name for himself guesting for us ^_^

I think he's a 7.5 rider at best tbh... Might kick on next season, who knows?

We can still have a solid team without a big name... We just need 6.5/7 pointers all through the 1-5 and two strong reserves (Max and Jacob?)

Wow that got a bit of action going like eh....

Honestly I'm guessing too... however look whose left... and I mean rationally look... because of not knowing whether they were running or not Newcastle left it late to secure riders... one slick promoter had his team sorted before the end of September and the longer Newcastle left it the less riders there were to choose from and we also have the disadvantage of being a Sunday track... I hope I am totally wrong however I have put some thought into it and the more riders other clubs declare really starts to narrow down the options on riders available to the Diamonds..

My other guess referring to a Stoke rider is only because Dave Tatum is supporting Rob and for that reason and connection only is why I have suggested Stoke.. Could be a total red herring and fake news but these rumours start somewhere... see below...

His last tweet may be total coincidence, or it may not?

You can't beat a good conspiracy theory though eh... no coincidence as Adam is a massive Liverpool fan so I am guessing (again) the reference is to the toon draw against city (football)... not that he is joining the Diamonds... 

But a like the way ya thinking...

Come Tuesday and many of the questions will be answered

Not long now...

No no and again please no, I mean no disrespect to Adam Roynon and have always liked the lad and feel a bit for him but he is far to accident prom and not always his fault it has to be said IMO, but if Adam was to ride for us my heart would always be in my mouth and it would be a case of when not if he became injured.
