I’d imagine Aarnio if he fits.

Wasn't signed because he is riding in Poland on Sundays(some). Things of course might have changed as they did with Lewis Rose last year.

Ah didn’t realize that cheers. Don’t you need a sponsorship form or something to sign Australians? I’m sure I recall Newcastle don’t/didn’t have one? Although some one may correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes, you need a visa, and a sponsor who can guarantee things like weekly payment and accomodation. Not needed if they have British patriality  in their family, upto grand parents level I think or dual nationality.

all very strange in what has been the usual way Club has been run, as some have said, relatively new Promoter and obviously he thinks he has found a better option, may be cheaper option. Will be interesting to see who it is. Campton is my guess

Not sure how many points we have to play with. Obviously it's hard on Palovaara and something i thought Newcastle wouldn't do but if there's a chance to bring one of the best number one riders in the league it's a no brainer. We have some real heat leaders now.

There might now be a case that, in future, the 1-7 nominated and (presumably) contracted and registered pre-season is required to actually start the season -- with an obvious caveat of MC permission to make a change in the case of an off-season injury, or other unavailability.

Obviously in “the best interest of the sport caveat” as usual depending on the Promotion.

1-7 signed  = 37.57 (using the averages on the Diamonds website).  Steve W = 8.17 (less any reduction he might get).

Palovaara is 6.25 - so would leave 6.68 to play with.

Worrall might get a 2% reduction (at best) so lowest he can be is 8.01.

So bigger change needed to fit Worrall in.

Rider has to be 6.68 or lower

I might be wrong but i always thought Team Decs had to be in by 1 March to be checked and ratified by BSPA.

Until Team Decs go in and are ratified, ethically I guess a Club have not "declared" officially 1-7.

He's entitled to a 2.5% reduction, and will be 7.97 (as dictated by the average he was brought in on at Workington).
