IronScorpion Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 If he was rotten, why use him as a guest or try to sign him? "IF", was one of the reasons why Rob Grant quit before changing his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"IF", was one of the reasons why Rob Grant quit before changing his mind. He was replaced mid season because he was rotten. Simple as that..maybe go read my previous posts about Barker and when he has point to prove. Save you going over old ground again . All conjecture, seen no evidence of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I was encouraged by Sunday. To beat a pretty strong Stoke select containing a couple of Brough specialists with a non contributing #1 and a brand new #7 made me hope for a decent set of home results as even if BWD and Congreve don’t meet their averages but do improve, then I think the rest of the team will carry us over the line more often than not. I expect a few hammerings away but that doesn’t tend to affect the crowds at home which is the main thing for now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Not sure why I keep reading about Newcastle facing a "strong" Stoke side? Steve Worrall (9.05) James Sarjeant (4.08) Ricky Wells (6.59) Leon Flint (5.89) Ben Barker (6.87) Connor Coles (2.00) Joe Alcock (2.00) Total: 36.48 That team average is well below the Championship 42.00 limit. Does makes sense for Newcastle to start off against a "weak" side to gain confidence ahead of official matches, but they'll certainly find it tougher from now on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 You have just proved that averages don’t tell the whole story of team strength. It was a strong Stoke team at Brough Park. It had 2 former Newcastle #1’s and another rider who usually rides Brough very well. On paper, they should have won but as we all know, speedway isn’t run on paper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was that many of the riders had ridden for, or had a connection, with Stoke, as a memory to Dave Tattum. The side had riders who are pretty useful around Brough, so the averages are pretty obsolete, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the case with a lot of riders nowadays,mediocre riders draining Clubs finances.That wont change anytime soon though.Clubs will just fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
