Maybe he'll be in Newcastle kevlars Haha, Ashley and Connor at reserve, I like the sound of that Assuming it's the same rules (And assuming Connor is ok )
-
Haha, dammit, I always thought it was a z
-
Haha English is not my first language, I apologize I'd love to see Fredrik Lindgren or Jacob Thorsell riding for us next season, stupid Sunday night meetings and 6 point EL average limit thingy, plus I know none of these would ever happen because of averages and situations I just enjoy watching them

I would agree with the fact that Danny Phillips should have been replaced, but he hasn't now and he's what we've got until the end of the season, and I guess I am happy with that as long as Ashley Morris brings in some decent results, however I do not agree with a 6 man team, if we had another injury that would DEFIANTLY mean the end of the road for Newcastle Diamonds 2016, a 6 man team with Danny Phillips in it may as well be a 5 man team, no offence, and another injury could mean a 4 man team, I hope I'm not being too mean O.o He's 1 million times the rider I could ever be

I'm sure Connor Mountain may have been involved if he hadn't broken his back

I don't understand why everyone is freaking out? I think Ashley is a great reserve and has been for a very long time, I really look forward to seeing him around Brough Park, plus if we get Workington for example in the play offs, or Peterborough, he has the track experience at both tracks which is a bonus He started off the meeting the other week for Peterborough with 2, 2, 3 in his opening three rides and I don't think that's a coincidence He's a good quality rider and I think it's great how the promotion have made a signing so fast after Lewis' unfortunate fall I don't understand why people are debating why Lewis fell off, no one will know how it happened, just Lewis and his mechanic and a few other people in the pits, people from the crowd need to stop deciding what happened and saying things they're probably not 100% sure of. What is most important and unfortunate is that the incident has happened and poor Lewis has a serious injury and now need to spend the rest of this year (Or however long he needs to recover) recovering and then he can decide how his future lies then, I hope the operation goes well and that he stays strong and I'm sure from all of us at Newcastle Speedway, we wish him a very speedy recovery Good luck Lewis

I just realized, people are saying riders to be announced soon, that could suggest 2 riders Matej Kus and Lewis Rose out for Tero Aarnio and Anton Rosen maybe? It works average wise, and I clearly have too much time on my hands with it being a bank holiday Would hate to see Kus go but if it means good things for the team, it could happen He's been one of my favorites this year I realize this, but surely SOMETHING can be done to allow teams to field 7 riders every meeting if they want, even in football, the most ridiculous sport ever, they have that signing a goalkeeper outside the transfer window or something? Maybe in speedway it could be signing a back up outside the cut off date?

I'm just quoting Anton's final average from the Speedway GB website http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/pl15_issue_final.pdf Have they really signed someone? RiderS??? I would agree it is open to abuse, but then again ANY injury bad enough to keep a rider out and 6 men teams in the play offs is enough to ruin it imo, I hate watching meetings without 14 riders, it just feels like something is missing lol, George made a signing last night??? Ben Hopwood? XD

Ahhh, I was using next month's averages not this months so Rose's average is 5.12 Typical, the day after the cut off we get an injury, injuries are never good but that is the worst possible timing, I hope Rose has a speedy recovery and rides with us again next year Hopefully George did get on the phone and arrange something in 3 hours after the meeting last night What a miracle that would be, although I don't imagine 3 hours is nearly enough time, I think the rule should allow injured riders to be replaced so there is not 6 men teams in the play offs
-
Tero's average 6.24 Lewis' average 5.86 I am so gutted to hear about Lewis It's terrible news, if we do need to replace him, can we? I thought the final day to confirm changes was yesterday due to the cut off? Or does this not count for injured riders? If not there are many guests we can use in the meantime such as Lewis Kerr (5.67), Josh Bates (5.46) and Fernando Garcia (4.58), I know they're not Lewis Rose, but they're something, or maybe we could even use Matthew Wethers (5.70) as a permanent guest as Berwick are looking unlikely to make the playoffs??? (Same goes for Kerr) I hope Dan Bewley is ok too after that nasty looking crash Last night was the worst meeting of the season by far because of all the injuries Edit: Another thought, could we bring in Anton Rosen for the end of the season at number 6? And have Palovaara stay in the main body? Palovaara (5.49) and Rosen (5.14)
