I certainly hope all the fears are unfounded as the promotion have put heart and soul into this venture and made a damn good job of it up to now. What ever happens it wont be through lack of trying on their part.Lets hope.

I think the new names to the UK may well surprise everyone Celina, Tate and Antti are dark horses and will be keen to make their names. I wouldn't mind betting the Premiership sides will be watching to pick up their next reserves.

Surprised to see Celina in the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue, that could be a baptism of fire for the start of her British league career

Are you going to try and sign Stevie Nicks as our seventh signing and second female rider, she could put on a half time show as well with such favourites as "Dont Stop Comets" and "Go Your Own Way Cookie". Well I suppose if theres nowt else to talk about we can fantasise she would fill northside.

Has anyone heard any rumours ?

I see Plymouth will be after another rider as Nico Covatti has been injured in Argentina, he has a broken arm and leg so unfortunately will be a long job I think. Hope we have our 7th signing sewn up

I have been watching Antti Vuolas on youtube we may well have a dark horse there on a 5 average he seems better than 5 would suggest

Celina came across well, very good English speaker, hope all goes well. Fantastic publicity for the club.

I agree on that we cant afford to bring one rider, and not the number 1 to boot, in on more than others that would create a very unhappy ship and trigger requests for more money from others.

Hopefully that wont happen. If the six named riders are all good to go I suppose the worst case scenario is we have to sign a 4.5 / 5.0 rider which will mean we start with a weak team on paper, as long as the signing has improvement potential thats ok but we dont want someone just to make up numbers, Im sure the promoters are trying their hardest to ensure that isnt the case.

True but the doomsday clock is only at 90 seconds to midnight so 2 minutes is a luxury world will end before the signing , Only joking but just getting frustrated.

Sorry to say but the 7th rider announcement dragged on too long now people are getting bored with the uncertainty, you can see that by the number, or lack of posts recently. I know some posters will say plenty of time yet but the clock is ticking.

Thinking from the other side of the argument there is now a group of riders without a club for 2024 who you would think want to ride so there may be a good deal to be struck.

I agree hanging on to get a suitable rider at the price you can afford could back fire, I hope it hasnt at this late stage.

I agree totally, I personally am thankful we have championship racing again. I think initially steady away should be the plan, we can break eggs with big sticks once things are established.
