cheekycobra 159 Posted May 30, 2013 If averages are true that Dyer will go into the Redcar 1-5 maybe they are looking to get rid of Carl Wilkinson when he drops to reserve. Seems funny that Redcar have flown Simon Nielsen in to ride for Redcar in the Julie Lewis meeting tonight So i wonder if it is to see how he goes with the view to signing him. Dont think Redcar have flown Nielsen in. More he's putting himself in the shop window. Wilko had shown a slight improvement recently, and will slot well into a reserve place.

dantodan 314 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) just how much does it cost a team to have a foreign rider? The air fares in peak holiday times will be high. I often wonder how much of a teams income goes to the airlines and also in mileage expenses for a southern based rider to travel up to the north Redcar, Newcastle, Workington, Berwick and Scotland. I know that there are not enough British riders of PL quality around but if the foreign riders are so expensive maybe the league needs to employ more NL standard riders, would we notice if heat two was contested by 4 NL standard riders? I think not. Its all very well listing a load of foreign riders as available. Lubos Tomicek and Claes Nedermark appeal to me as worthy of a team place, but what about British NL riders? We (Newcastle)gambled on an English NL rider Lewis Kerr who must be a cheaper option than a foreigner and he has settled with Newcastle in the PL and is doing great. Berwick have NL Paul Starke also doing quite well. Not counting Aussies and NZ'ers do we really need to fork out a fortune on foreign riders who can score Just a few more points in the PL than NL lads?

RedcarRacer 228 Posted May 30, 2013 If Redcar management had anything about them, they would be doing everything in their powers to keep Dyer at reserve for as long as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wjm 261 Posted May 30, 2013 Linus Eklof would be a decent addition for a PL side looking to strengthen up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionking 127 Posted May 30, 2013 Leicester don't pay riders airfares . At Leicester if you sign for X amount of money per point its upto the rider to get in & out the country if they decide to live abroad. This was the problem we had with Linus Eklof he costs an absolute fortune then sometimes doesn't give 100% Linus Eklof would be a decent addition for a PL side looking to strengthen up.

StevePark 2,781 Posted May 31, 2013 If Redcar management had anything about them, they would be doing everything in their powers to keep Dyer at reserve for as long as possible. Too late! Wilko drops to reserve on the new Green Sheets, and I don't think it would make sence dropping anyone (and I haven't done the maths either, to see if it's possible) to get Dyer back down to reserve. just how much does it cost a team to have a foreign rider? The air fares in peak holiday times will be high. I often wonder how much of a teams income goes to the airlines and also in mileage expenses for a southern based rider to travel up to the north Redcar, Newcastle, Workington, Berwick and Scotland.

Berwick have NL Paul Starke also doing quite well. Not counting Aussies and NZ'ers do we really need to fork out a fortune on foreign riders who can score Just a few more points in the PL than NL lads? 1) It depends entirely on who that foreign rider is. Some cost a fortune (and find getting a team place difficult) and some don't, and find a team place nearly every season because of it. 2) Teams aren't looking for 3 pointers in the main, though. It's more middle order/top end riders that teams are looking at. 3) No, we probably wouldn't notice if heat 2 was "an NL race," but we would notice if those riders weren't PL ready when it came to, say, heat 4 when the two number 7's came up against two number 5's.

Dave aka TheRealDL 5 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Here are some of the riders that are available: Taylor Poole Dakota North (for a PL place) Jesper B Monberg Matt Tresarrieu Claes Nerdermark Magnus Karlsson/Adam Roynon Ryan Fisher (for a PL place) Josef Franc Emiliano Sanchez Some good riders that would score some good points for some of the teams looking to make a change. Unfortunately the rolling averages seem to have pushed a number of riders out of the Premier League , but your list ought to include: Jordan Frampton, Lee Complin, Gino Manzares, Hynek Stichauer, James Holder, Richard Sweetman, Andre Compton.... and for the same reason as your Karlsson / Roynon post - Ricky Ashworth / Eddie(ward) Kennett.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted June 1, 2013 Part of the problem for us armchair team managers s that we dont have the true averages of those available to hand. All those mentioned that rode last year will now have a different average to that at the end of last year despite not riding due to the number of meeting included in the calculation being reduced. Six meetings have fallen off the sample six which could make for a significant swing - up or down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
