Diamonds85 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Brilliant start, solid 110% trier, couldn't ask for a much better 2 or 4 tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 One way local business & better off supporters could help clubs like Newcastle & Birmingham survive would be to own the air fence, tractors, graders etc. These would be available for the season BUT remain in the ownership of the "Club Guardians" I do think there are business's & supporter's willing to get involved in this way who would not just hand over a couple of grand into thin air! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promoters already know what is 90% in place for next season, when you say "we know the rules" as in fans, then "we" will be the last to know and understand what is going on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All down to the heads of the BSPL to let us all know what's going on... Does anyone know the exact date of the AGM this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Hitter 1 2. Max Clegg 3. James Wright 4. Connor Mountain 5. Big Hitter 2 6. Archie Freeman 7. Adam Roynon But of course, we don't know the team limits yet, so let's see what does and doesn't fit... Not even sure whether Max and Connor would be interested anymore?

James, Max and Connor would cost you about 15.5 points, chuck in Archie on 1 star and you could make room for 2 and a half big hitters, depending on points limits tho.

Diamonds85 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 3 minutes ago, Ryan555 said: Iâm not a Newcastle fan or anything but from an outsiders perspective Archie Freeman seemed to struggle last year Archie is a young 16/17 year old raw talent and a local Geordie rider who has mascotted and loved the club since a very young age... I remember Archie back into 2010!! When Kenni Larsen was around, must have made him 5 years old? We have watched him before and after most meetings over the years, practising and racing in the NJL and watched him develop as a rider. Last season was very tough for young Archie, however, towards the end of the season he was getting very close to the backs of the riders in front of him, and he had a lot of bad luck along the way, falls, bike failures etc... I honestly believe, if we can build a very strong team around him, give him absolutely 0 pressure, that he could be flying by the end of next season. He's basically Newcastle speedway's child... I do however, think he needs to work on his gating (which was noticeably better by the end of the season) and his anger (which understandably I guess, came out a few times last year too) Archie is a good little prospect who could be very good within the next 3 or 4 years... Same goes for Danny Smith, on a slightly lesser scale, we need to utilise him, if we haven't already lost him? Another rider who has impressed me, considering how little time he has ridden the 500s, is Jack Shimelt, already a quick looking rider around Brough and he's only been at it this year? As far as I can tell, another rider to keep an eye out for in the future... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple teams put together which I'd love to see, it's just dependent on the points limit and what the rules with the 2 rising stars are going to be next season? Be interesting to see what happens... 15.5 points isn't a lot for your 2, 3, 4... Also Archie would be a 2* on this year's rules, as he has now had CL experience, BUT that currently makes no difference to the team building limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
