do you think he might still be on mam and dads passport ?,,, and they might not want to go away all the time, and they might not like Poland :(

you're a bit out of date!

 

FYI, kids under 16 need their own 'child passport' these days, and have done for ages. After 16 they need a full 'adult passport'

 

So RL travels on his own passport.

 

(it's probably kept in his mam's handbag though!)

Just thinking this morning, there could be an opportunity to blood a new 7.00 pointer assessed average rider along with Rose. No 'inside' on this, but it would work if we have been tracking someone like Jonas B Andersen at Redcar, and would save the hassle of trying to keep Havvy happy with a large transfer fee for Kus. Just a thought.

sorry to go slightly off topic but this whole loan business is ridiculous and i'm fairly sure wouldn't stand up to EC employment law scrutiny. You can't stop people working. Kus doesn't 'belong' to anyone, he's a freelance motor cycle racer and should be able to ride for whom he chooses.

Hey thats my excuse :)

'Minimum wage = minimum effort',,, that's mine :)

Not really sure it works like that in speedway,,, if he gets injured at work, could he claim or in fact get sick pay, or would he just get SSP ???

Whilst I support the current registration asset system, it does lead to unfair practices. A rider under contract to a team does not want to ride for his own team. His promoter wants him to stay on his terms, and insists on him staying or a transfer fee. If another team only wants to loan a rider, the affected rider has a choice of signing a low reward deal, or not ride that year. That is unfair, and flies in the face of the usual cooperation between clubs. Even if a rule, whereby a rider not in the new season 1 to 7 automatically is a free agent to go on loan, doesn't solve the problem, as the asset owning club just includes the rider till he either quits or signs for a low deal. There are many advantages to both rider and asset owning promotion with the asset system, but the above case is not fair and compatible to employment laws IMO.

Richie Worrall is the only other rider who would get us excited after landing Robert Lambert. Whatever obstacle there is surrounding Richie coming home to Newcastle should be an obstacle we can overturn to bring him back. So why is he not already signed for us?? He rides our track as well as any other good rider so come on Richie and George get the pen out and sign the contract.

There's no way that we can compete financially with Glasgow (the supposed destination for Richie W).

so is Lambert cheaper than Richie ?,,, bargain if he is :)

Think the difference being and I don't intend to sound smug like our East coast neighbours.

 

Lambert was never on the radar for Glasgow whist Richie W most certainly is so I don't think that it is a case off Lambert being cheaper more a case off Worrall waiting to consider if anyone matches or betters what is on offer.
