    This team is set up points wise very much like the team I rode in for Berwick.  I recall we lost the league by one sole point on the last day of the season against rye house . This was at there track and a reall climax to the season . . One hell of a year for Berwick that season and there fans   as most of there fans wrote us off that year to . The bandits had no number 1 or a strong one and we constantly were swapping team positions through the year with the green sheets . But beleave me there is always someone that pops up and smashed a good score and the rest support . Might not be the same rider every week but A rider will always have a good night . Then all the rest have to just do there job . 

    Shame no press day but a chalange at home to get some laps on the track and bikes settled . 

    Might take a few meeting for us to settle but I think we could surrise a few people . So have faith guys and girls might just be the under dog team you could enjoy watching the most for a long time . 

     

    Catch ya soon people

    I'm unsure about the Newcastle DIamonds squad so far. Wrote a couple of articles about them so far with some thoughts on Ashley Morris and Carl Wilkinson. 1 about the signing of Carl Wilkinson and 2 about Ashley Morris and whether he can be an effective heat leader for the Diamonds or not.

    Would like to say thanks for a very positive report there . I think the stats you used were very fair and very true . It' nice to see a report look at the whole picture not just the short comings . Roll on 2018 and getting settled at my new home over the first few meetings

    Well guys thought I would drop a cheeky message in to say hi etc . Been following from a distance as always . 

    Like everyone else I'm looking forward to finding out who the last 2 names on the team sheet are ! . I' sure the promotion are looking at every option and configuration.  Who ever the last 2 guys are I'm sure it will finish the team off a treat . I'e been looking along all other teams and I think we have a good shout there is a lot of untapped strength in our guys so far . I' sure we will bring the best out in each other 100% . Team building across the the championship is kind of the same far as I can see . Most teams have a plus and I can also see a weakness  . Our team so far is quite solid our guys all have the capabiliy to excel at various times through the year and we have the strength throughout to help a team member that might be struggling once in a while  . If we all click at the same time there is going to be a thrashing handed out once in a while lol .

    As for myself I can tell you I'm in a better place mentally and with fitness . With the help of some valued sponcers and new ones I've acuired since coming Newcastle again I'm super happy with how the bikes are coming on ! . 

    Im Looking forward to a Stella year this season riding for Newcastle in hoping the club will be able to rely on me when needed on the track and in the pits . Helping out and supprt with the other guys when needed . 

    Im sure George and everyone else are going to finish the team the best way possible for the club . 

    Looking forward to seeing you all soon !

    Craig is fine was walking around at the end just took a bang to head and cut his elbow. He only had the one bike with him (witch he bent) as his others are off to Italy for the GP qualifer .

     

    Now onto the meeting Scunthorpe as expected were poor Carl Wilkinson being their best rider sums it up really.

     

    Masters, Wolbert and Cook until he crashed were untouchable. Max was fast just can't get out the gate and Rob is a bit all over the place at the moment at home but making up for it away at least. Thanks to Doolan for guesting always good to watch round the dale. :t:

    Charming ehh ........

    Not ment in a harsh way to any of my team mates they all do there up most im sure . The going was very hard and in all honestly if you asked both teams the meeting shouldn't have run as track was crap ..... no disrespect to the track staff at all as they worked there hardest to get us out there . The time they had and the condition of the track when I arrived they went above and beyond . Also most of the track staff there are my mates as well . I was pointing out the fact yet again im the point of discussion for falling off . Yet other riders got off the bike plenty as well . Getting kind of sick of it tbh . I could just sit there take a cheeky last place or 1 point but I want the team to win . So I push hard ,,,,,,, harder than most . Did you see anyone trying to make the moves I was on an unfit track actually trying to race . My point is I can soon change my approach to racing and take the easy points . Saves the risk of damage to my bikes that the other 2 jobs I have pay for to put on track . Like the fans say and im the first to agree , you can have your opinion . Also I can have mine as I put money in as well to be there . Just saying like . Think im done with forums now just like most riders are . Hope you all have a brill summers racing catch you around the track's .

    It's quite funny I said to my dad before the meeting started Wilko would be the first one off and he proved me right lol (thankfully he didn't get injured) Can't fault his commitment though and he actually got better as the meeting went on, great pass on rosen to win heat 11

    I might have fell twice . Just so happens I was in heat 1 also hendry 90% got off the bike in heat one with finger tips holding him on . Then blow me people fall in heat 2 . ......etc etc . Also might add I think from who was there I was the only one trying to save face and get stuck in . Gona be a looooooong season I think . Saying that I did my average both meetings the only one of the only riders that did .
