Diamondlil 33 Posted December 28, 2017 Think the only agreement re paying air fares is with Danish Federation where clubs have to pay 2 airfares back home per season,not aware of a Swedish agreement. But then what do I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then what do I know new danes would be put up in accomadation like roy Clarke,s house so wouldn,t have to worry about flights but everyone is only guessing like myself just wish they would hurry up and get the team sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 904 Posted December 29, 2017 not a newcastle fan but same goes for all fans regardless of which team suerly its more important to track down and get the right riders rather than just getting the team announced as quick as possible 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then what do I know The DMU contracts include all flights to Danish championships and Euru and World competitions like U19 and U21comps as a right, and at a fixed cost to the signing club. Swedish flights are by negotiation, but usually have a top level value after which the rider is responsible for his flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted December 30, 2017 But isn't Ludvig based in Newcastle? I mean, I know he goes back and forth between England and Sweden, but surely it's his Swedish clubs that should pay for most of his flights as he's coming from England!! Even if he is Swedish by nationality, I dunno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Max 216 Posted January 2, 2018 Can see us having a new dane/swede in the team on the reduced average introduced - to me it is the way to build a stromg team - get a couple in your team and you are only using 10.4 points . Any decent rider in Swedish/Danish league should easily meet the 5.2 average. In the past with a 7.00 assessed average it was a gamble and very few made it in first year (if at all).
