Chewbacca 653 Posted July 4, 2013 Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,781 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. I'd settle for that too. We saw what we can do against poor opposition last week and (with all due respect) we should get something similar this weekend, but we need to keep it close as you never know what's going to happen!

diamond@heart 399 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Given that Newcastle generally struggle to hit 35 at Owlerton I'd take a 50-40 defeat right now. Think George may punch the air with delight if we pass 35 and do a friggin dance if we pass 40. Hopefully not a massacre and we can keep it close.

Cue Ball 416 Posted July 4, 2013 Think that you're being unnecessarily pessimistic as to your chances - there are a lot teams that have `historically` done badly at Owlerton that are pushing us/beating us now. I hope that with Roynan signed and Facu at reserve we should hold our own and beat you - might depend on how Worral rides, I seem to remember last year that he was disappointing to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluthetiger 221 Posted July 4, 2013 After Newcastle won their first leg of the KO Cup tie at Edinburgh but then bombed out by losing at home, who knows how this will end up? Good luck to Adam Roynon, and to Facu at reserve They will be the men to make a difference 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted July 4, 2013 Very low key Diamonds fans on this thread considering most neutrals would predict a win for them by 10+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted July 4, 2013 Very low key Diamonds fans on this thread considering most neutrals would predict a win for them by 10+. not many if us big up our chances anywhere as you tend to look daft.... Plus we normally get mullered at owlerton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dantodan 314 Posted July 4, 2013 Newcastle teams in the past have struggled at Owlerton but hey! This Newcastle side may not fear the big track as much as our sides used to. The tigers fans are forecasting a home win. Well maybe... but don't be surprised if you are out-gated and out-paced by the 2013 diamonds. 50-40 to Sheffield? I think not! I am going for an away win, possibly a last heat decider. I hope Newcastle entertain and all 14 riders come through unscathed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJC71 388 Posted July 4, 2013 Very low key Diamonds fans on this thread considering most neutrals would predict a win for them by 10+. Probably because we have such an awful record at Sheffield. Other than a Lemon/Bach/Larsen inspired win down there in 2010 we have generally been stuffed in all competitions. Sheffield on paper look quite decent now but hopefully we'll do enough tonight to enable the win over two legs. I would be over the moon with 40. The Tully/Lindgren pair worries me tonight as neither have great records on big fast tacks. Hope they prove me wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
