Tsunami 10,219 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) 34 minutes ago, racers and royals said: They certainly wouldn`t persuade him to ride for a Sunday team. He will be riding for Pila in Poland Yes, that was the same circumstances last year, but as THJ suggests in the previous post, he then proceeded to mess people around, signing and unsigning and eventually got picked by Redcar. Too fickle to deal with. Edited December 7, 2018 by Tsunami 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamond@heart 399 Posted December 7, 2018 17 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: Newcastle in a bit of bother regarding team building. With riders riding in Poland. 1. Rene Bach 7.19 2. Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 3. Matthew Wethers 5.78 4. Matej Kus 5.63 5. Nike Lunna 5.63 6. Carl Wilkinson 3.96 7. Max Clegg 3.25 = 37.91 I didn't think Rene was doing the UK next year, isn't his girlfriend due to have a baby which I think has ruled him out or some other commitment? Might have just made that up but thought I have read it somewhere I wonder how much of cleanout Newcastle are going to have. Might be good to freshen the team up, obviously it will take new riders a while to get used to the track but might benefit all. I think Ludvig for one needs a change of scenery and I would like to see Rose back, not sure if he has finished with speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winditon 233 Posted December 7, 2018 Looks like Richard Lawson and Ricky Wells are possibly the only what you would call championship number 1s available now. I personally would like to see Wells at Newcastle as he is a track specialist and think he would be a great signing. Although they could both be signed by someone and just haven't been confirmed yet. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted December 7, 2018 I just can't see or think of any riders who will be in the team, not saying they're not lined up, it just makes it more exciting to who we have signed when they're announced, the totally unknown is interesting and I have no idea what the outcome of team building will be, fun times ahead... Just wish Rene could be with us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mentalmik 5 Posted December 7, 2018 Wells gone now. Options very limited on any heat leader's. Most have there team's sorted now I thought we were told we wouldn't have to wait as long as before. Hate this time of year and hoping for a competitive team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted December 7, 2018 Victor Palovaara intimated that he was keen to return to the Championship in 2019, after his short stint with Edinburgh. As far as I can see, he has not been contracted to any Polish club in 2019. Given he was decent with the Diamonds previously, might be worth a punt again.

Hate this time of year and hoping for a competitive team I'm sure there'll be someone in George's magic hat... Or that's what we constantly get reassured... It does feel like we're left in silence a lot more than some other clubs, but could be worse, we have speedway and our promotion generally do a good job in the end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Pavlova, and would love him to be back (Nike, Pavlova and Aaron, hairiest speedway team in history maybe?) But someone told me a while back he left Newcastle in bad terms, so maybe he wouldn't want to come back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
