enotian Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Wilson-Dean, Heeps, Wethers, Ostergaard, Grondal(?), Clegg and Phillips. When Wilson-Dean's average drops (after one meeting? like Ellis etc) to about 6.00, replace Phillips with a 5.00 (Bacon? Greaves) You can't win anything without being competitive in 13 and 15 but should be competitive at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not out and out No.1 riders but if we go for strength in depth they could do a job. If it helps... Wells and Heeps signed elsewhere 4 hours ago, Tosh1218 said: Have the Bspa given the Diamonds a date by which everything has to be in place by Hoping to see them come to the tracks Yes I am led to believe the cut off is December 7th... 3 hours ago, enotian said: Barker or Howarth (Leicester?) instead then. What would Bradley Wilson Dean's average be? And is he expected to be fit/riding? We are the spiritual home of the Kiwi.

There's always the National League. Only three other teams to have beaten us to signings there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scampispeedway Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) If Newcastle went into the National League would enough people attend to make it viable and considering at present there are only 7 teams in that League with the nearest being Belle Vue and would mean long hikes to Plymouth and the Isle of Wight and Sittingbourne.

I didn't think you could have anyone over a 12 point average as it's actually impossible to reach when on an actual average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of viability it would only concern he home crowd as i suspect as many Plymouth fans would travel to Newcastle as vice versa. In terms of NL it depends how sensible promotions are as technically there are less potential team places for riders and therefore demands shouldn't be as high BUT there is often one side who scoops up the best available by putting together strong packages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As 'THJ' said, I don't believe there is a rule to prevent it, indeed in 2017 Kings Lynn and Swindon both started the season with riders over 12 - albeit with a 50 point limit.

Potentially it could stack up as a genuine business move especially if the rider is friends of the club and attracts more supporters than he takes away in points monies....i did say could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
