I've asked tero if his polish commitment wud stop a return to the Diamonds and he said not at all

Difficulties are that if Tero does well, and gets picked on a regular basis by his Polish team, Newcastle is screwed as other clubs will only change some fixtures but not all. Heyho, in those circumstances I know quite a number on here who would be condemning George given he knew that Tero's Polish fixtures did get in the way of his Diamond fixtures. Would have preferred both Tero and Ash as they are honest and loyal triers, but we now have to go down another path starting with Nike. He is an exciting rider, but prone to big crashes, so he should be an exciting rider to watch especially away on the bigger or faster tracks.

If Wells and Riss stay at Edinburgh, only Richie, Klindt and Nick Morris left out of top riders from last year assuming Barker and Wright at Redcar, Cook will be announced at Glasgow.

only Birmingham and Newcastle could take them and maybe Leicester ( not sure but thought Richie would be with his ex boss )

not many options left so maybe the 2 pointer bit may not be an option

time will tell

Edinburgh can't keep Riss and Wells. They only have 18.32 left for four riders. Riss and Wells total 16.98, so even with two two pointers it don't fit. They may possibly keep one with Worrall, (not sure if that even fits) but it would be a woefully weak bottom end.

Wow. A day of mega surprises for diamonds fans. Nike Lunna signed. Where did that come from. Never expected that.

Ash gone. GUTTED! Maybe a bigger surprise than the Lunna signing. Had him nailed on as a dead cert for 2019 diamonds. Really disappointed he's chose to go elsewhere.

Tero to Workington. Whilst possibly not as big a surprise, again a dissapointment. Not sure where our team building goes now., last years's engine room has been ripped out.

Bit slow 

I was responding to the top post by Leander, who is obviously unaware of the 'news.'

I’m struggling to think who we could get in for to fill the team.

Erik Riss, Kyle Newman, Ricky Wells, Nathan Grieves, Aaron Summers, NBJ, Matej Kus 

we probably won’t get one of them be more like Lindgren, Wilkinson etc 

Might manage to talk Robbo out of retirement ?

Don't forget that with fixed nights in the PL being mon and Thursday, it is still attractive to get any PL rider to double up without worrying about fixture conflicts. There must be a few with dual averages making some of them bargain signings.

Please be true...Robson, Pijper, Wilkinson and Kus would be perfect for the Greyhounds...:D

Run along son, or you'll be late in the morning for school.

'Agent Pijper' to Berwick would be my guess. Robson retired.

Think you will be correct about Wilko and Kus. Both can win races, so I don't think these are joke signings as you seem to...?

Would love to see Lewis Rose in the team - too much talent not to have another go at speedway IMHO.

Interesting to see Tomas H Jonasson looking for uk rides... Presumably for PL though? Or would he stoop down low enough to ride in the Championship? :O Naaah... Bargain on a 6.96 average though (I think, 2017 PL average converted by 1.5) if someone could persuade him... Baby Bjerre, Summers and NBJ would be nice signings too... Different...
