But then what do I know new danes would be put up in accomadation like roy Clarke,s house so wouldn,t have to worry about flights but everyone is only guessing like myself just wish they would hurry up and get the team sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 not a newcastle fan but same goes for all fans regardless of which team suerly its more important to track down and get the right riders rather than just getting the team announced as quick as possible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then what do I know The DMU contracts include all flights to Danish championships and Euru and World competitions like U19 and U21comps as a right, and at a fixed cost to the signing club. Swedish flights are by negotiation, but usually have a top level value after which the rider is responsible for his flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 But isn't Ludvig based in Newcastle? I mean, I know he goes back and forth between England and Sweden, but surely it's his Swedish clubs that should pay for most of his flights as he's coming from England!! Even if he is Swedish by nationality, I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Max Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Can see us having a new dane/swede in the team on the reduced average introduced - to me it is the way to build a stromg team - get a couple in your team and you are only using 10.4 points . Any decent rider in Swedish/Danish league should easily meet the 5.2 average. In the past with a 7.00 assessed average it was a gamble and very few made it in first year (if at all).

Dandelion Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) From the Danish league, the most realistic names that I wouldn't mind seeing would be Jesper Sogaard (We were going to sign him a few years ago didn't we? And then decided he wasn't very good, I've seen him a few times last year in Denmark, and I dunno if he was just on good form, but he was flying) Patrick Hansen (Probably wouldn't want to ride in our league and I think he has a Polish team, but not sure if they ride Sundays) Peter Karger (He's had experience in this country before, but dunno if he'd be good enough) Andreas Lyager (I think we all know him from Scunthorpe, would be a good addition, but would he come in on the 7.00 he was assessed on before, or would it now be reassessed to a 5.20?) Just from the few meetings I have seen in Denmark last year, I think these names are the ones who stood out to me the most, again, I have only seen a couple of these once, so maybe they're crappy riders who just happened to have a good meeting, but who knows, wouldn't all of these riders be an expensive gamble, where if we were going to get a couple of foreigners in, the likes of Rene and Ludvig we know what they can do Just my opinion for next season Edited January 2, 2018 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) I don't care if Ludvig is a 7 point rider, a 10 point rider or a 2 point rider for the rest of his career, some of his races are entertaining to watch, and that's all I'm bothered about, entertainment, one of the most entertaining riders I've seen over the years (in my opinion) is Chris Schramm, and by the time I was watching him regularly, he was below 4 points, but he was still worth at least half of the entrance fee alone, but of course, everyone can have opinions In my opinion, Rene Bach, Ashley Morris, Stuart Robson and Ludvig Lindgren doesn't get much better for entertainment purposes, just need the interesting story of a young number 7 getting better every week (Alfie) A massive number 1 who can just blow riders away (Nichols??? Maybe they will change the rules as rumors have suggested) All of these riders would go into my dream team... But that's it, a dream lol Edited January 3, 2018 by Dandelion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
