Kevin Wolbert has had a couple really good season by his standards recently... Would do really well over here I think if his head was in it...
-
He wasn't a guest for Plymouth, they signed him on a short term contract
-
Wonder if it would be a Jason Crump type scenario... Use his average from 6 years ago with certain percentage taken off for each year out... Either way 8.00 is a decent average for Kevin already...
-
Until the first set of averages and someone like Scunny can fit him in maybe?

Scunthorpe Scorpions 2022

Don't worry, I'm sure Godfrey himself is working very hard behind the scenes to bend the rules ever so slightly Hence the delay in announcements... -
Would Kevin Wolbert's average be 8.00? After his 2016 PL average... Or would he get a new one? Maybe Kevin and Norick at 3 and 4 hmmm, the two Germans If you could add Sam, Josh, Kye and 2 reserves that would be a hell of a team... But I highly doubt that would fit would it?
-
I'm sure Nick was a 4.00 and Ondrej was a 5.00. But that may be different if they were signed now. Im not sure?
-
I'm guessing that counts as one of the leagues where he'd be a 5.00 rather than a 4.00 then? No idea, only just heard of that for the first time yesterday
-
Good shout as the senior reserve... But who will be the junior reserve? Or will they go down the same route as the Diamonds and have 10 points down at reserve and not as powerful of a top end? Will be interesting to see...
-
I struggle to see who edinburgh are gonna have at reserve... unless they go for willie Lawson again and nathan Greaves rides again?
-
Well it was going to be 4.00 assessed last year? But what leagues did he ride in 2021? Will it be 5.00 now? Either way we can fit him in and he would easily up that average??? Just permit issues... are slovenians easier than Czechs?
-
Hmmm, interesting... Not sure tbh?
-
Thanks for the info... This instead then? Redcar Bears Avg. 1 Charles Wright 8.28 2 Kasper Andersen 5.87 3 Erik Riss 7.84 4 Norick Blodorn 5.00 5 Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 6 Dillon Ruml 4.00 7 Jordan Jenkins 3.70

As our nearest and dearest, I'd love to see the Bears put out a very strong line up for next year. Always nice to have strong next door neighbours Probably way off reality, but this would be a cool line up to see Redcar Bears Avg. 1 Charles Wright 8.28 2 Kasper Andersen 5.87 3 Erik Riss 7.84 4 James Sarjeant 4.16 5 Lewis Kerr 7.67 6 Norick Blodorn 4.00 7 Jordan Jenkins 3.70 Total: 41.52 Remaining: 0.48 I know James Sarjeant at 4 seems pretty terrible, but I'm thinking if him and Norick swap after the first set of averages come out, Norick and Erik would be a brilliant 3 and 4. Lewis is a decent number 5, Charles is a very strong number 1 and Kasper would be the best number 2 in the league by a mile. If the Tommy Jorgensen rumours are true (and I hope they are) then possibly Redcar Bears Avg. Charles Wright 8.28 Jack Thomas 5.15 Kasper Andersen 5.87 Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 Lewis Kerr 7.67 Norick Blodorn 4.00 Jordan Jenkins 3.70 Or Adam Roynon rather than Jack Thomas? Probably miles off but either way, I'm excited to see the team tonight

But I don't understand. In speedway riders sign year long contracts or short term contracts 99% of the time. So Benjamin's contract was up with Poole, why is it then any of Poole's business where he plans on riding next season. Beyond "Are you riding for us next year, these are our terms" and a yes no answer... Basso doesn't owe Poole anything really? And that's the way the Ford's seem to see it? But why? Nail on the head. Jealousy... I wish we would sign a rider like that, But I'm not jealous about it, I'm excited about the prospect of seeing Ben at Newcastle racing for the away side...
-
Real shame because I really enjoyed my 2 visits to Poole last year, thought it was a brilliant track and great set up, didn't realise it was ran by a bunch of children though? Just wish the young lad good luck for the future, you didn't get what you wanted boo hoo. No need to shame him, I'm sure he's not going to bother riding for yous again, even if the scenario was different now. Hope he becomes world champ
-
I'd rather my team DID accommodate Basso, so I could watch him and be entertained, rather than watching more R/R So he has to base his whole career based on what Matt Ford wants him to do? And if not Matt will spit his dummy out? I don't know much about the Fords, but they seem to expect the whole of the speedway world to revolve around them? And if not they spit their dummy out and slate a young lad publicly? How petty and embarrassing...
-
So if our final rider is already signed up and sorted. Would it not be best for his sakes just to announce him? So he can more easily get sponsors etc... is there still no plans to announce? This is not a criticism, just a question.
-
Just to keep the Pirates stewing for a bit
-
What time is the team being announced?
-
Never knew that. Last I heard he was packing in speedway. I'd still be shocked to see him back over here though, but I can but hope... thanks for the info
-
Would be happy with a completely new face also. A brand new rider to these shores. Are we allowed to sign Nick Skorja or Ondrej Smetana again. Preferably Nick.
-
I would be surprised if Ludde considered riding in Sweden again nevermind over here... we can hope though. Ideal last signing for that team imo Tero would be great too as third heat leader or number 4 too
-
Sundstrom has retired
-
He can ride for other NL clubs...
