Assuming the points limit stays at 42.50 what about this.

 

1) R Bach 7.85

2) L Kerr 6.09

3) A Rosen 7.00

4) S Robson 7.20

5) R Wells 7.81

6) C Schramm 3.52

7) S Worrall 3.00

 

How good would that team be at brough? it'd be untouchable and very entertaining.

 

 

Has René Bach actually indicated he wants to come to Newcastle - it might be a nice idea - but you can't go round pinching other Team's Riders.

I don't know? More wishful thinking to be honest but isn't he Peterboroughs? So i'd say we have as much chance as signing him as anyone else. He does need to "come home" though lol

 

Yes, Rene is a Peterborough asset. :mad:

Rene still lives with the family who own and run Sapphire Engineering(Newcastle's main sponsor), and is usually at Brough most Sunday nights, so we could have as good a chance as anyone if he left Worky. Most exciting rider to have ever ridden for Newcastle ever, IMO.

Yeah I see him most sundays too and wish he was riding for us lol, I think unfortunately for Rene the injury put him back a massive amount which is not surprising, such a shame really.

I didn't realise that had gone against 'us'. It had been a 'grey area'.

Yes, unfortunately. Collateral damage of the Cov/Pet AGM dispute. All wrong. :mad::nono:

Just to deviate (yes that is what I do best) I believe the Promoters Meeting is this weekend. If anyone knows different then please say when it is. Hopefully at their meeting they will decide to do things that we will approve of :t: But usually they announce decisions we do not like :cry: . Team Averages, TR's ~ restrictions on this and that.

 

Maybe 2014 will be run under more sensible rules decided at this conference or maybe NOT! :nono:

I think it is unlikely that they will be able to come to many decisions at this stage, due to the uncertainty of the SKY TV money. Whilst the PL teams don't get a big enough share for it mean much to their business, no TV money to the EL teams means the PL teams will have to change to accomodate the EL's decisions. I am sure there will be several options down to 'if this and then that', but it's likely be late December before most things can be definate. Biggest AGM for years IMO.

Most interesting too I would say. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the Meeting.

I'd agree. But they say that every year and little changes.

 

Meanwhile, dependant on the structure/points limit etc., for 2014, I'd be inclined to build the team around Anton and Lewi. The rest, to fit in around them.

Time decisions on how speedway is run in the UK to be taken away from promoters self interest, and passed on to the FIM or the ACU.

Not really workable in either case. If there was to be a governing body it would have to be a truly independent body but who would finance it. Self governance can work if there is an unselfish will for it, but recourse to the ACU to resolve big issues between promotions and for interpretation/application of rules.

I agree with abbott but would also like Christian henry as a certain starter and the rest to fit with what is left
