Norfolk Bear 250 Posted June 13, 2022 How come Berwick can sign a Dane but Newcastle cannot, maybe they should bring in Kyle Buckley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought I'd be jealous of Summers signing elsewhere... That's how low we've sunk. Best we can do is replace Jack with Kyle Bickley, but in all honesty that's not much better either. Wonder if Nathan Greaves might come back... Lots of returning riders from the past this year, I always rated him at reserve... I feel really bad for George, yes I'd have replaced him, but only with a big hitter, if it was just for Jack Smith then no chance, give George the rest of the year and see where we stand in terms of signing him for next season (assuming there is one...) I would do a full team shake up if possible, only keeping Max and James. Starkey has proved quite unreliable and the only other one I'd have kept (Matty) is injured... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 698 Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) How about we bring in something like Lasse Bjerre and Kenneth Hansen for Lee and injured Matty (hear me out) and then a young Dane for Jack and go with something like... I thought we'd been well backed with money for this year, where the hell has it all gone!!??? 1. Bradley Waste of space Dean R/R - Guests (Not ideal I know) 2. Lasse Bjerre (Victor Palovaara??) 3. Kenneth Hansen (Victor Palovaara??) 4. Max Clegg 5. Paul Starke 6. One of many young Dane's who are kicking about (Victor Palovaara/Kyle Bickley??) 7. James Wright Have Victor, Lasse, Kenneth, the Danish market all been tried?? Another thing is, how serious is Starkey's injury, does he even have one? I have no idea when or where he got injured, or is he 'sick' again... I've been a bit surprised by him this year pulling out of so many injuries with food poisoning etc, was it genuine? Or has he just been unlucky many times this year... Edited June 13, 2022 by Diamonds85 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had to go down that direction and yet we signed Jack Smith.. unbelievable! Totally agree about the money also as had some good sponsorship this year.

It's depressing how far we've slipped up in the last 3 or 4 years... We're the laughing stock of the whole country where once we were one of the biggest, not even that long ago either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,863 Posted June 13, 2022 What's happened to the lad at Redcar Jonas B Anderson? Or lad rode for us back end of 2019 Mikkel B Andersen think was his name. Doubt either good enough for Poland, and nights not score you barrow loads of points but might score 6/7 and 5/6 a meeting 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of young'uns to try in Denmark, who we could trial for next season, like we did with Kenni and Rene... That's the problem though isn't it. Next season they'll want to be free to ride in Poland on a Sunday even if they don't actually end up getting any matches. Also these new Dane's won't come in and and score like Kenni or Rene did (apart from Birkemose). They'll be 5 pointers which is decent and better than what we've got but won't hang about to become future heat leaders. If they do they'll deffo get rides in Poland. Again I'm not defending the promotion because Summers to Oxford tells you everything you need to know about how serious an effort has been made to improve the team.

Basso even has Richard Juul as a mechanic, it should've been the easiest deal ever. Total mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
