Diamond geezer 60 Posted July 8, 2018 Wow well done to the comets, fantastic team effort with plenty of effort. Four man team dominated the diamonds, and can see why they are winning meetings across the country. Now for Newcastle. Ludvig lindgren, number 1 (by not a number 1) at the start of the season. Who can’t ride anywhere away from home but regularly gets a position on strength of his home form and team spirit, only beats josh emblton and Kyle Bickley all night.. then watches Stuart fall heavily and turns back to the pits.... only for Rene Bach to walk out to meet him on way back... its not fair to single out ludvig in particular, but the excuses of him not being a number one and out of his depth are gone. I think the team are proving why each rider starts every season (with the exception of Ashley and maybe Stuart where age is playing it’s part) a unreliable middle order rider...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulS 55 Posted July 8, 2018 Ashley did well at #2 in the past. I'd put him back at 2 and Ludde to #4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,134 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) A remarkable result given the Comets were basically a four man team. That’s one decent side they’ve put together. It’s a shame it’ll probably bankrupt em Edited July 9, 2018 by Shadders 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A PERFORMING TEAM . time for the commercial manager to do his bit and shout to the rest of Cumbria as to the quality of the team and try and bring in some more sponsorship and when they get it , pick it up asap .. but no more freebie tickets .

idanthyrsus 96 Posted July 9, 2018 Newcastle Riders scored: 6+1, 5+2, 9, 6+3, 4, 4+1 and 6. About what you'd expect from second strings and reserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted July 9, 2018 A think at the start of the season if someone had said that we would only suffer 1 home defeat by August, most would've been happy. I find it hard to draw any positives from last night, but not much went Newcastles way, Well done Worky, who generally out gated and out battled us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with that is Ludde and Matej can't ride with each other. At home I'd put Ludde at 5 and Tero at 2. Ash us doing OK at 3/4 in my opinion.
