Diamonds85 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Trying to put a 'Newcastleish' team together of riders who don't look like they're going to get a CL team place in 2023 just for fun... Obviously Danny King has a place at Redcar, it's difficult finding a number 1 who realistically will be riding in the UK next year who doesn't already have a team spot. Shame we could have had a decent looking side... Although if Granty was still in charge it would've been at least 5 points lower than this I'm sure. 1 Danny King 8.05 2 Max Clegg 5.23 3 James Wright 5.51 4 Matthew Wethers 6.47 5 Tero Aarnio 7.55 6 Paul Starke 5.11 7 Archie Freeman 2.00 39.92 Another notable name is Ashley Morris, who doesn't have a team either... Sorry just realized that James is at Birmingham too... But yous get my point. Edited December 20, 2022 by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Troy Batchelor 7.29 Matthew Wethers 6.47 Broc Nicol 5.95 Dillon Ruml 5.47 Max Clegg 5.23 Dan Thompson 5.09 Connor Bailey 4.32 Total 39.82 Edited December 24, 2022 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Watching the Diamonds at Armadale in 2010 & being reminded of how good Bach & Larsen were! Made me remember how many great Danes the Diamonds had over the Years. What would be their strongest Danish 7? 1. Ole Olsen 2. Kenni Larsen 3. Bjarne Pedersen 4. Kenneth Bjerre 5. Nicki Pedersen 6. Rene Bach 7. Jesper Olsen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Diamonds legends in my eyes, but I didn't get to see the Olsen/Pedersen etc days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
