No thanks. Got no interest in Glasgow or Edinburgh. I think called a "sado" is a kind of verbal abuse don't you think?

It was tongue in cheek think you need to lighten up a bit on here.

Any thoughts on the next rider to be announced?  I go for either Ludvig or Danny Phillips!!!  I hope it is not Danny, simply for the fact I think Alfie would be a better bet and if Danny hasn't been on a bike since the accident, why would we take the risk!!

Think Nicholls would be a good signing and be great if he was the next one, I just think the commute from his base to Newcastle every week will be too much.

Good banter Boomerang. Hope I've passed my initiation. Seriously though regarding the team I hope Danny Phillips isn't conidered. Firstly I don't think he will ever improve much and secondly he has had quite a serious injury so he would be a big gamble. If our 2nd reserve is going to be around the 3 point average mark I think Alfie Bowtell is a much better option. I think ludvig will definitely be back. Anyone any thoughts on Jan Graversen as I think he is available. Looks like we are still waiting on he Nicholls/Kennett situation.

Best be prepared to have your eyes opened then. Abuse is second nature on here, and is usually water off a ducks back.

Yes I agree. They won't be cheap. Depends on how much of a budget our new promotion have at their disposal. 

Well I don't think the budget would stretch to the likes of the Lambert deal. I think both Kennet and Scott have berths in the Premier, but that won't pay them to ride in the PL alone as they don't do Poland, Sweden or Denmark either. They will both need for financial seasons, to have a supplement to their earnings especially on marginally lower money in an easier league like the Championships. If they had signed the other way around, their Championship salaries would have been higher than they can expect now. They won't be cheap, but I would think at least they will be at every meeting unlike one that we know. Funny enough they are both at Rye House alongside Robbo, what's to say Scott's travel could be combined with a hitched ride with Robbo to half his driving. No doubt there will be a plan to get him to Brough every Sunday and Glasgow, Edinburgh, Berwick fixtures will just be combined as two days racing instead of just one home meeting. Let's see what happens in the middle of next week. Never know we might have another couple of riders announced by then.

Still plenty of riders out there. Nicolls, Kennett, Jorgensen, Lindgren, Rose, Aarnio, Wilkinson, Graversen, Bowtell, Philips are the ones I can think of plus there will be foreign riders. So I think we could still assemble a pretty decent side.
