Flappy 1,594 Posted January 17, 2018 We didn't hang on they didn't have a plan. Nicholls and a 4 pointer really doesn't change much imo as Lambert will be at number 2 where he's struggled all too often. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parkendlass 102 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Spot on Workyboy. There is absolutely no way teams that have done their work, and got themselves organised, should face upheaval because of other teams who dawdle and dawdle and then expect to have things all their own way. Not on !! Edited January 17, 2018 by parkendlass 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not on !! Explain how that comment applies to Newcastle. We have not known if we were even running till just before Xmas, therefore not able to even talk to most targets, but some riders pledged their allegiance to us in those circumstances in the hope we ran. Thank you Ash Morris, Stuey Robson and others to be announced. I wonder if it is because it is Newcastle why you made that stupid statement. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholls and a 4 pointer really doesn't change much imo as Lambert will be at number 2 where he's struggled all too often. Which means we will be operating with at least 3 potential reserves. With the first four already signed making Grondal the fifth signing was a shocking decision leaving very little room for getting the last two signings right , what ever the plan was it's baffled a few people and I can't see why others should worry about who Panthers last two signings are , I cant see how any of those signed so far have improvement in them . It looks like another season of middle to bottom of league team to me and with or without Nicholls I see it making very little difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We at the Comet's didn't know we were running till middle of November but Laura (bless her) managed to get a team sorted. So what's your problem? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what's your problem? The difference is you still have the same promoters that were in position last year. No changes. On the other hand, last years promotion has had to be dissolved, and a new company is in the process of still being set up. Until things were certain that we were going to get acceptance and be able to run, we were not really in a position to formally sign anybody in case things didn't work out. But I am sure you knew that anyway. Thanks for your concern. Edited January 18, 2018 by Tsunami 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) on what grounds would a new promotor NOT be accepted you only have to look at most promotors and if you dig deep enough you can find a dark past . money laundering, drugs, and dare i say it . two promotors trying to pull a fast one over the rest of u.k. speedway . now they want sympathy for not having a no 1 . i am sure the bent bspa/scb will bend the rules for the remaining two clubs and sod the ones who didnt have a chance to go for nicholls/kennet or any other available prem rider . but speedway goes on , JUST .

If they change the rule you have the same chance as all other teams to sign them and re declare but with the attitude coming from you towards these riders one can understand why you've got little chance of signing either of them anyway. The season is still a couple of months away as yet so what's the hurry to complete teams as there is no time limit . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting things organised applies to everything we do. Someone chucking a spanner in what is an organised thing causes trouble, but not to the spanner thrower. I haven't mentioned Newcastle. It matters not what team it is, it is nothing to do with Newcastle. My team Redcar have still got half the team to announce, but they are going about their business quietly.

So you reply knowing it was Newcastle. Redcar aren't looking for a No 1 as you already have Barker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not on !! There is another way to look at the situation , it seems that the teams that Quickly sorted their teams, knew about the new rule, that suddenly got brought in re the blocking of some Prem riders, I heard that a few Teams were not represented in Tenerife, and nothing of this rule was reported directly afterwards, I have never seen that many teams sorted out way before Xmas, seems a bit of a dodgy coincidence to me, so some teams who are not part of the Maffia, are struggling to get a competitive team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
