Ned Kelly 41 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Joey Ringwood looked smooth enough on Friday night, but couldn't get off the starts to save his life. He is still a much better rider than last season, and Glasgow Tigers would be mad not to have him back to continue his progress. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 say .... Glasgow were to sign joey Ringwood...... it would leave 7.10....... who is still available to sign....... I make it ..... p franc..... m lemon....r aspegren...... oustergaard...... h bager or a 7pt untried European rider ...... anybody have any other riders who would do a job . I assume you mean Ostergaard. Signed for Peterborough weeks ago and I think Aspregren is also signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I assume you mean Ostergaard. Signed for Peterborough weeks ago and I think Aspregren is also signed. It's Pontus Aspgren who rode for Rye House last year , that's signed for Somerset . The previous poster meant Robin Aspgren who rode for Berwick last year , he's still available .

StevePark Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 But lanham has a deduction as being British Lanham will have a deduction surely ? No. Reduction only for riders who have ridden in NL for last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers64 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 No. Reduction only for riders who have ridden in NL for last few years. What about going down the Stefan Ekberg route & signing a swede that rode in EL 2008 for Poole & previously rode for Oxford Frede Eriksson who still rides in Sweden for Hammarby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 i suppose he could get a reduction because of his age and you could apply to the bee ess pee a, so he only has to do 3 laps. still a good rider on his day/night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 The length of time to officially sign Joey seems a wee bit odd.................I was sure that the last two riders would be announced as a pair and that the delay would be in signing the other guy and not Joey. I always felt that Joey had been told off-the-bat "you're in as long as we can use up all the other points on six other decent (or potentially decent) guys". I wonder if he's had an offer from elsewhere and the promotions hand was forced? We'll probably never know. I'd still want all the remaining points to be used up......................and not an assessed 7.00 novice please, no thanks. I know he's very much splitting opinions on here but I'd still be reasonably happy with Mark Lemon. Yes he'll never (probably) be a 9.00+ rider again but he'd do a steady middle order 6.50-7.00, and he'd been good at mentoring Dimitri and Joey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think the visa problems some Aussies are finding has thrown an additional spanner in the works . Where last week one or two riders might have thought about travelling to Glasgow every week , those riders will now be holding fire to see what happens next .

Hey PaulCo have there been guys who've signed for other teams who now will not or cannot now come due to visa problems? If yes = who?

Joseq7 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ah ha I see there's a "visas" thread in the speedway discussions section. Fair enough. Interesting stuff. Watch this space. Or that space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 What about going down the Stefan Ekberg route & signing a swede that rode in EL 2008 for Poole & previously rode for Oxford Frede Eriksson who still rides in Sweden for Hammarby Fred had a storming season for Poole in his last year here so his average may be too high. Dependent of course on which of the many conflicting formulas and rules are used to calculate it. Cracking rider and bloke too, why not have a look at Erik Andersson who also rode for Oxford,bit like "The Fish" in the way he occasionally liked to check the fence was still there but a good little racer.
