A few more will be gone 

 

Stevie worrall is in I hear

Would be suprised if Stevie doesn't start the season with a CL place and, along with Tero would take up 15pts,,, so Newcastle would have to do an awful lot of juggling to fit them in,,, at least 2 more out and 1 more in.

Surprised at today’s events as after following Newcastle for 40 years I have always found them to be a fair club and they have always had good reason for getting rid of riders... I think there could be more to this story so I am waiting for an official announcement from the club before saying what I think 

Hard to see how but who knows.

If you or I were the team manager or promoter and though you could make your team stronger pretty sure you would do the same before some other team does just a shame its before the season starts  but with worky not running there was always going to be some changes when these riders became available think it might be 2 Aussies coming in

I wouldn't be surprised if there is more comings & goings at Newcastle.. looks like the loyalty George used to show his riders has now gone ( but that is not a critical outburst towards the promotion as I'm sure there a genuine reasons behind it ) as the club does really well with sides assembled as long as I can remember 40 + years yes we've had some ups & downs over the years but generally it's been a good success on track & always good racing to watch,,, so let's get behind the 1 to 7 come the 29th of march down at Redcar

Maybe its not just George that is lacking loyalty.

Yeah exactly as George is the most loyal promoter/ manager that had been in the sport for the last 20 odd years so I would guess that it's more likely to be on the the riders toes why he's been released from his contract..

Well, there's always 2 sides to a coin and, that little bit around the edge ;)

A relative new Co Promoter at Newcastle, maybe he has a stronger influence over team matters.

So you singing from the same lyric book as to what I've thought for a wee while then

Listening to this interview made me think, listen to the start of the interview, and how many times he says the word I.

Poor show Newcastle. Not fair on Palmolive!

'Palmolive',,, isn't that the brand name of some cleaning products ?,,, not that you would be aware of it, of course ;)

but, TBF it doesn't seem to be the 'Newcastle' way of doing things.

I’d imagine Aarnio if he fits.

Wasn't signed because he is riding in Poland on Sundays(some). Things of course might have changed as they did with Lewis Rose last year.

Ah didn’t realize that cheers. Don’t you need a sponsorship form or something to sign Australians? I’m sure I recall Newcastle don’t/didn’t have one? Although some one may correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes, you need a visa, and a sponsor who can guarantee things like weekly payment and accomodation. Not needed if they have British patriality  in their family, upto grand parents level I think or dual nationality.
