Fina Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Feel really sorry for Bickley, surely they must have known this was on the cards when they signed him. Talk about getting kicked when you are down 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the complete end to the Diamonds? We are no more? Gone forever? Or do we have chance to come back to the tapes next season?

You were obviously used and expendable, your white knighting of Grant was admirable but obviously misguided. He’s sh*te on you also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 There are now 7 former Newcastle riders looking for new team places and the first thing other clubs will be checking is their averages. Are their latest GSAs the most relevant? When Eastbourne recently folded their team results were expunged from the seasons records and associated match points were scrubbed. Rider stats for meetings involving Eastbourne were also discarded I believe. On this basis, if meetings involving Newcastle technically no longer exist, Newcastle have effectively not ridden this season and their riders averages would revert back to the original team building averages in place at the start of the season? Can someone please shed some light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect them to have a process for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect them to have a process for this. In fact, there is a formula. While Newcastle's team points are expunged (great word!) from the records, the riders' averages are maintained. This is true for the ex-Diamonds going elsewhere and riders who have raced in Newcastle matches. I believe there might be post-season adjustments, but for the rest of the year, no-one's averages will be affected by the removal of Newcastle team results.

That's good, at least someone knows (or is willing to keep fans updated)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
