Big Diamond 51 Posted July 16, 2014 Shame for Schrammy enjoy watching him ride but probably for the best to concentrate on his health good luck with whatever he does in the future. Happy with Nielsen signing could be for him to ride a track he is are cabable of scoring points at every week just like what happened with Mills. Also good for team makes us stronger at home which is main priority with the season Diamonds have had, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HadrianDog 291 Posted July 16, 2014 The guy is a hell of a trier on track and a true character off it too. A loss to the sport for sure, but as already said his health post ret. and in later years have to have been the deciding factor. Everyone knew that the time he has lost, with his 'hard as nails' approach had to point to a serious medical problem. Plus points to him also for standing aside and allowing Newcastle to move on too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
