Ommer Mon 381 Posted September 19, 2013 The Dudley Management have said there will be a major rider announcement at next week's meeting against IOW. I wonder what that could be as we have no idea what the League structure will look like next season. Presuming we will still be in the NL, and he qualifies, I'll open the batting with Brady Kurtz, who was brilliant at the Golden Hammer. Who would you like to see?

therefused 819 Posted September 19, 2013 i thought brady didnt qualify as having uk patriality and therefore isnt eligible to ride in the nl? thats the reason Somerset opted for Nielsen this year instead of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 679 Posted September 19, 2013 With the IOW been there, Could it be the return of Tom Perry? Can't see Blackbird or Morris wanting to Ride in the NL next season (if thats were Dudley are staying). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greyhoundp 990 Posted September 19, 2013 I will take a wild guess, that it will be the signing as an assett of either Max Clegg or Nathan Grieves, with 2 outside possibilities of either Brady Kurtz or Michael Neill, if its an higher profile rider, who would indicate we are stepping up, then it has to be Royno, much missed by Heathens fans, and that would certainly set tongues wagging with regards British Speedways future..which would i hope for ? well any of them to be honest, but should we finally manage to win the Play Offs, then much as we have enjoyed NL racing, it would be time to step up.

You have been doing this a lot longer than me and, I bow to your superiority. I automatically assumed it would be a signing for next season but the seasoned supporter has read more into the title of 'Big Rider News'. I'll go for Max Clegg.

Bagpuss 10,779 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) I'm sure I read somewhere that Somerset promised Kurtz a place for 2014 when they couldn't fit him in this year? Edited September 19, 2013 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am as intrigued by this as anyone, its very unusual for The Heathens to announce a signing, for the following season, whilst the current season is in progress, normally they like to announce these things to coincide with the local media, so i tend to agree with you that it will be the signing of a current rider,which can only mean as an assett, and young Max has created one heck of an impression, not only with the older fans, but he has his own younger fans who quite simply adore him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 19, 2013 I'm sure I read somewhere that Somerset promised Kurt a place for 2014 when they couldn't fit him in this year? And Plymouth said a few months back they wanted to sign him. Plymouth currently have his brother and a close friend (Rasmus Jensen) in their team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted September 19, 2013 Maybe Dudley will announce Paul Starke as the first one on next year list,could fit into either league. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good call on Starkie He would be one of the first names on my team list too and, if its NL, then I would get Cleggy and Nathan signed up. Both of them are bound to improve.
