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 Rene is back at Workington (along with Rasmus Jensen). http://www.workingtoncomets.co/news/article.asp?id=100892 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayNeutral Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 So much for rene saying he would only ride for Newcastle or Glasgow in the UK..... Considering Newcastle have only signed two riders...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceslider Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 If George can build a team now that avoids the Wooden Spoon - he deserves a medal!! However, I for one live in hope because nobody is in a better position than him to produce the very best team we can get behind and support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm assuming that there have been no announcements as to the team lineup is that everything is on hold until confirmation is received from the authorities as to the suitability of the new co-promoter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having looked at his Twitter page he still looks interested in riding over here and looks like he's keen to race!! He just needs to put some pants on and I think he'd do good at Newcastle, might be good to have an American in the side, who was the last American to actually ride for Newcastle? (Not guesting) On another note, has Mills retired? I know he's old, but last I heard, when we didn't pick him after 2014, he still was looking for a team, not suggesting him as a rider to use, just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and both p!ssed from the previous night at our Dinner Dance, travelled to Sheffield and the track was like a quagmire with lots of spray. Was it Nicki that won it and Brett third. ? Additionally Nicki had kicked a police car and was held in the cells for a few hours. Edited January 6, 2018 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniew Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You can see how little current information is coming out from the Diamonds 'PR Team' when people are reminiscing about riders and incidents from years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
