Dandelion

I'm also warming to the idea of MPT leading our team next year, although every rider I've said that about immediately gets signed by someone else so maybe I should be quiet...

Damn... There goes the little bit of hope I had left lol... Oh well, plenty more Spuds in the sea

Oi I don't bite... That's clearly Errr... Ruff I think even if the league is 'watered down' in terms of name stature... We might get better value for money than before... As at the end of the day a race between 4 even matched amateurs would be better than a race of Jason Doyle Vs Ruff, Grumbler and Tsunami (Although that might actually be hilarious to watch xD) I don't watch speedway to see big name riders ride, I watch it to see 4 hard working lads give it their all to come first, and that's generally the entertainment value, to me anyway... Was there rumours a few months back that the Gems would go National League? I know obviously that's not happening now, but it would be really cool to see a team of the likes of Josh Embleton, Danny Phillips and Ben Hopwood every other week at Brough with the Diamonds in between too... Back to speedway every weekend from March to October then...

Interesting that Aaron Summers isn't on the Championship announcements on the SGB website, has he not been confirmed or have they just forgotten to add him? http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/championshipannouncements19

Think Nathan would be a lot better now, and at reserve to start with and he'd improve our away form a bit, I think most years, whatever our home team is, we'll have a large advantage as we have such an unusual shape track

Happy with Clegg as a signing, Welcome... Solid, young reserve How about... Michael Palm Toft 7.96 Gino Manzares 4.00 Nike Lunna 5.63 Matthew Wethers 5.78 Aaron Summers 7.18 Nathan Greaves 3.99 Max Clegg 3.17 Or Ellis Perks instead of Gino and Nathan would go to 2 and Ellis to 6 Alternatively we could go Kus instead of Gino and 2.00er (instead of Greaves) and Max at reserve?

I like Pavlova, and would love him to be back (Nike, Pavlova and Aaron, hairiest speedway team in history maybe?) But someone told me a while back he left Newcastle in bad terms, so maybe he wouldn't want to come back?

Thanks for the information I'm sure there'll be someone in George's magic hat... Or that's what we constantly get reassured... It does feel like we're left in silence a lot more than some other clubs, but could be worse, we have speedway and our promotion generally do a good job in the end

Isn't Pila in the second tier? Who ride midweek? I'm not sure...

I just can't see or think of any riders who will be in the team, not saying they're not lined up, it just makes it more exciting to who we have signed when they're announced, the totally unknown is interesting and I have no idea what the outcome of team building will be, fun times ahead... Just wish Rene could be with us

Interesting to see Tomas H Jonasson looking for uk rides... Presumably for PL though? Or would he stoop down low enough to ride in the Championship? :O Naaah... Bargain on a 6.96 average though (I think, 2017 PL average converted by 1.5) if someone could persuade him... Baby Bjerre, Summers and NBJ would be nice signings too... Different...

I thought he chose a Polish team where he was just a squad member so he could still ride weekends in uk?

Tero... Hopefully there'll be two Finns in the team

Disappointed that Ashley never signed But I am excited to see what Nike brings next season, he's on a very small average imo and I think he could do well... Could we have a very Finnish team next season? Or will another team take another one of our riders...? Time will tell... My latest and probably incorrect guess... But at least it shows we can still field a decent team with the riders we have left to choose from Aaron Summers 7.18 Matthew Wethers 5.78 Matej Kus 5.63 Nike Lunna 5.63 Tero Aarnio 6.83 Gappmaier/Bacon 4.84/4.67 2.00er 2.00

Tero, Ash, Ludvig and Richie for me Teamed with the already signed Wethers Leaves the reserves left to fill... Connor Coles and Danyon Hume? Or Max Clegg and Connor Coles? (Danny as replacment for 2.00er? What night do Stoke race? If it's Sunday then Coles is a no go Richie Worrall 7.80 Ashley Morris 5.44 Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 Matthew Wethers 5.78 Tero Aarnio 6.83 Hume/Clegg? 3.70/3.17 Coles/Phillips? 2.00 With Clegg at reserve we'd be able to fit Alfie Bowtell or Ben Hopwood at 7 instead of Coles/Phillips... Interesting times ahead... You never know... Kenneth Bjerre and Bjarne Pedersen may re-sign
