There's always the National League. Only three other teams to have beaten us to signings there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scampispeedway 67 Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) If Newcastle went into the National League would enough people attend to make it viable and considering at present there are only 7 teams in that League with the nearest being Belle Vue and would mean long hikes to Plymouth and the Isle of Wight and Sittingbourne.

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted November 19, 2019 Honestly What a fantastic signing by Sheffield... wonder if he fancies coming home on a double up... we could do with an out and out No 1... Very rare I get envious but this gets close... Regards THJ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't think you could have anyone over a 12 point average as it's actually impossible to reach when on an actual average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of viability it would only concern he home crowd as i suspect as many Plymouth fans would travel to Newcastle as vice versa. In terms of NL it depends how sensible promotions are as technically there are less potential team places for riders and therefore demands shouldn't be as high BUT there is often one side who scoops up the best available by putting together strong packages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As 'THJ' said, I don't believe there is a rule to prevent it, indeed in 2017 Kings Lynn and Swindon both started the season with riders over 12 - albeit with a 50 point limit.

Potentially it could stack up as a genuine business move especially if the rider is friends of the club and attracts more supporters than he takes away in points monies....i did say could. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
