Broc Nicol will hopefully still be on the gas after his impressive debut, on paper we can win this. :-) Nothing is won on paper! but I’m looking forward to seeing Broc Nicol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted June 24, 2018 Broc and wood seem great acquisitions hahaha zero between them . This double switch could go down as the worst ever .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moranboys 399 Posted June 24, 2018 why laugh.doubt georgie has barely seen the track and it must be one of the hardest tracks to ride if you have never seen it before so no, not surprised broc didn't score tonight.he certainly looks a good signing to me having seen him thursday night.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) 39 minutes ago, scaramanga said: 3rd bend again at Newcastle how many riders have been injured on that bend over the years Well in the last couple of weeks, 2 Kamikazi rides by 2 riders in about third place, deciding to do a full blast in a straight line have tried it and got hurt. Nowt to do with the track which you might be implying, just stupid tactics at the wrong time. There are 4 laps to each race, but some want it over during the first lap and in the last two weeks 2 riders have learned to think a bit more next time. I could ask how many riders have been badly hurt on the second bend at Owlerton. Incidentally I talked to one of the Sheffield riders tonight after the meeting, and he absolutely loved it.(note to oneself of his name for next year I think) Edited June 24, 2018 by Tsunami 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 869 Posted June 24, 2018 I know how much Newcastle speedway meens to you but the track is not good is it very poor shape not always prepaired bad but its certainly not always good and not the best for entertainment is a understatement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hel'n'Back 146 Posted June 24, 2018 Sheffield don't ride Newcastle well but I hope Kyle has a speedy recovery, that is our main concern at the moment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
