Ho hum. People have short memories. Q. Why didn't Newcastle sign Kus at the beginning of the season? A. He had already signed a Polish contract to ride in Poland on SUNDAYS. Q. Will Newcastle sign him now. A. Unlikely. Why? He has a polish contract to ride in Poland on SUNDAYS. ( and he's riding better over there than he is over here.................)

Does he often ride in Poland on a Sunday, cos he's rode twice for the Bears at Brough and is often seen frequenting the place and, whats his Polish team ?

diamond@heart 399 Posted June 4, 2018 I was gonna suggest Timo Lahti but just discovered he rides in Poland (Daugavpils), bloody polish leagues. I think Kus rides for Poznan in Poland, could be wrong. So Stuart might be back on Friday depending on practice and we need a replacement for Rose, I'm struggling to see where one will come from. I don't think it will be Kus as that would be suicide by the Diamonds, I can only think we are looking abroad, Sweden maybe???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunday 22 April Polish leagues hadn't started. Sunday 27 May Poznan didn't have a fixture (they were at Gneizo on Friday 25 May that weekend). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart Robson hopes to be back soon. How did Newcastle have a facility for Lewis Rose at Newcastle? He announced on his twitter on 30th April he was taking time out so that is more than 28 days ago. Kings Lynn changed their team on 30th April. Even if its taken from the 1st meeting he missed for Newcastle (6th May against Ipswich) the facility should have run out at Berwick on Saturday night. You need to include the 6th May as day 1 so day 28 will be 2nd June (not the 3rd). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that an ex-Management Committee member would go against anything laid down by the BSPA, so it was OK to use R/R for Lewis at Berwick and a guest for him at Brough on Sunday. It all comes down to what date Newcastle were awarded the facility from, rather than going by when it was announced on Twitter, or when another team signed a rider, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kus would be the obvious answer to come in. He is a club asset (no loan fee). He is available. Talking to him on Thursday he said he has not ridden in Poland this year. So unlikely he will for a while till his UK form improves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that was day 1 then would day 28 not be 2nd June at Berwick. I would have thought day 29 would be 3rd June (Newcastle's home meeting with Berwick). Berwick fixture would be the 5th Sunday so day 29 (you don't get 5 Sundays in any 4 week spell as far as I am aware). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
