Pretty sure he doesn't know and just winding a certain person up!

Before Christmas, there were certainely 3 riders all of 6.0 - 6.2 average lined up, verbal agreements at different points, annoucements created (I saw them) but all give backword for various different reasons. (Longtrack, Poland Div 1, Retirement)

I'd imagine that this is where the plans come unstuck. It's not easy to build a brand new side with no asset base, and they've done rather well to get exciting young riders in to create that asset base.

As for the 7th rider, no idea. It's tight lipped, regular people around the club don't know either.

Hopefully there is some exciting news on Saturday. The people of West Cumbria are excitied to see speedway back and it will probably show on Saturday with a big turnout for a practice session!

Kenneth Hansen, Anders Rowe and Josh Auty?

Good spot! 

Imagine it's wild and Bellego and Riss come in (well aware that Poland is likely to rule it out) but all a bit of fun!

Riss at over 7 is too high an average 

Was a bit tongue in cheek going off the 'rumours' about Cook but I'm sure I read that up to 4.2 in the PL converted would fit so it could still be Bellego. Didn't he end on a 4?

Bellego's champ average would be 6.00 yeah (4.00 in Prem)

As much as Bellego didn't do well for Sheffield last year, surely he's too good for the championship? He's a class rider, especially on a big track... If Workington could pull that off it would be incredible

He's already fixed up in Poland, Sweden and Denmark won't be in the UK i'd imagine

Knew he was in Poland but don't really follow Sweden or Denmark. Good for him, he's much better in higher leagues.

I really don't see it happening, but he would be an unbelievable coup if they did.

Surley its about time the promotion give some type of feedback to the fans as to what is happening and what avenues there going down?

I know they can't wave magic wand an get a rider but an update as to what there trying would be the least they could do. 

Total disrespect to the paying public, its getting silly now

As long as no7 is there for pp what does it really matter? 

I'd rather that than be span the same old we are looking here/there and leaving no stone unturned update.

Total disrespect hahahah come off it. It’s still the close season. As long as there’s 7 riders at the tapes on Good Friday, which I’m certain there will be, then that’s fine.

Talk about toys out of the pram, grow up.

If there's no updates what do you want them to say 

I want a good team but 1 poor signing won't stop me going down  and hopefully being entertained
