Dandelion Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Tero, Ash, Ludvig and Richie for me Teamed with the already signed Wethers Leaves the reserves left to fill... Connor Coles and Danyon Hume? Or Max Clegg and Connor Coles? (Danny as replacment for 2.00er? What night do Stoke race? If it's Sunday then Coles is a no go Richie Worrall 7.80 Ashley Morris 5.44 Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 Matthew Wethers 5.78 Tero Aarnio 6.83 Hume/Clegg? 3.70/3.17 Coles/Phillips? 2.00 With Clegg at reserve we'd be able to fit Alfie Bowtell or Ben Hopwood at 7 instead of Coles/Phillips... Interesting times ahead... You never know... Kenneth Bjerre and Bjarne Pedersen may re-sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with Kerr or Bowtell in their line up can skratch them off also. Edited December 6, 2018 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Great signing for Newcastle, disappointed he is not back at Redcar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Good signing by the Diamonds , would liked to have seen him back at Glasgow. Will add to his average no problem classy performer the trick is keeping him fit always seemed to pick far too many injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmik Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Gud first two signings,just a bit worried that it could be slim pickings for the rest as both Worralls gone and Ashley too. Need some heat leader's and good captain to be competitive now I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyHonestJohn Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Honestly Nice change of direction and a different face, maybe not expected? but could be a sign that the whole team will get an overhaul and good luck to the promotion it shows Martin Phillips is giving it a serious go Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Disappointed that Ashley never signed But I am excited to see what Nike brings next season, he's on a very small average imo and I think he could do well... Could we have a very Finnish team next season? Or will another team take another one of our riders...? Time will tell... My latest and probably incorrect guess... But at least it shows we can still field a decent team with the riders we have left to choose from Aaron Summers 7.18 Matthew Wethers 5.78 Matej Kus 5.63 Nike Lunna 5.63 Tero Aarnio 6.83 Gappmaier/Bacon 4.84/4.67 2.00er 2.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Martin said he wanted us to sign riders that will "entertain" and I think Nike will do that. Hopefully he can get used to the track pretty quickly. Welcome to the Diamonds Nike. Really sorry to see Ash go. He was second on my list of riders I would have liked to see return. Good Luck at Brum Ash. I just hope that the rider on the top of my list that I'd hope to return does so and doesn't go elsewhere, as rumoured throughout the Forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I thought he chose a Polish team where he was just a squad member so he could still ride weekends in uk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the SS it sounds like his Polish commitments have ruled him out. I can't remember the quote word for word but George was suggesting that being a Sunday track and finding riders was difficult due to Polish commitments and they would have loved to have Tero back but his Polish commitments have put a stop to that.
