Sign someone else on a short-term deal until the injured rider is fit could be a possible alternative, I guess.

It’s an option, but not a lot of incentive for riders to sign on that basis, given supply and demand.

Which is why I said "could".

Riders wanting a full time spot wouldn't agree to a temporary gig unless all the team spits were taken, but if riders like Rowe or Gilkes just wanted to do Prem & Poland, they may agree to a temporary place?

Playing devils advocate here but all Redcar need to do is find a rider with a higher average than the points they currently have left and ask the bspa to up the limit slightly… precedent has been set by Edinburgh so happy days haha.

OR get a rider in so they come to 37 points and put forward the case that the limit should be lowered and other teams have to change  :D

Can rule Hans Andersen out of the equation as he’s announced his retirement… not even sure if he was in the frame at all for a short term stint.

Good decision.Top man in his day but really just going through motions last couple of seasons.Wish him well in the future.

Got to say it only seems like yesterday as I recall  that he was brought to Poole as young rider at reserve and did so well he was getting guest rides at other clubs how has time moved so fast just enjoy speedway whoever you support

I know needs must etc, but would Redcar go into this season approx 1.5 points under an already reduced limit? Time will tell I suppose, a brave shout if they do 

Not a lot of riders to chose from who would bring us closer to the limit really.

Could try and get someone on an assessed average in the hope that they improve on that. 
 

As for Jonas Knudsen he did seem to like the Redcar track so could be an option.
