Hope so vog, shame lee smart has finished in the nl , well according to the star he has anyway.If plymouth move up there will be a couple of nl riders available there, and bournemouth , weymouth.
-
And of course everything that has been written by or qouted by mr bartlett is all absolutely true, and there can be no doubt it is his side that should be treated as a true representation of the facts ?
-
Doesnt deserve to come back? Crap. anyone not considering signing tom on his average after the way he was riding again at the end of the season would be making a big mistake in my opinion.He has got to be worth at least 8 to 8.5 points a match, plus he is one rider the youngsters can look up to and take the p1ss out of( toms words at the na not mine!)Ok he may not be quite as potent as an out n out no1 (prove me wrong, go on tom)but got to be worth a team place.
-
personally let him go now whilst we have plenty of time and find another rider that would commit to Lynn week in week out . Personally, i agree with you on that one.Yes it would be great to see him race each week, but it is obvious where he really wants to ride. A certain young mr haines springs to mind who only really wanted to ride for wolves.
-
I am looking forward to watching him race next season too em, i was just looking at other options, ifs buts and maybes if you like, if another 5 pointer could be found the balance of the team could be altered maybe and not only have an improver for the season but an investment too,the funds from the sale of darcy must look good in the clubs accounts, as would the sale of any other "find" if there was one.
-
I know what you mean, but they didnt manage it with darcy! At least the club got a tidy sum for his contract after a year in the team
-
Seeing as things have changed a little this last few days, how about this one: Travis Mcgowan 9.09 linus Eklof 5.30 Emiliano sanchez 6.64 Chris schramm 6.37 Tom topinka 7.64 Adam Roynon 3.95 simon lambert 3.56 ____ 42.45 Before 2.5% reductions OR swap lambo for Darren mallet 3.90 ____ 42.79 Before 2.5% reductions Eklof, Schramm,Tom ,Roynon and Lambert/Mallet all capable of increasing their averages.
-
Seeing as lasse bjerre will now only be loaned back to kings lynn, would it perhaps be worth considering a new 5 point aussie in his place who would become an asset and use the extra 2 points elsewhere?NO offence intended but it could mean the difference between millsy or schrammy in the team (purely as an example).
-
Have to say that the promotion have dropped one here. When they said he was signing on for 2011, they should of had his name on a contract and as an asset. I also wish I could say I was surprised about Bjerre heading to Peterborough but I'm not For the good of the team I hope we look elsewhere. I don't see King's Lynn as being a feeder club for anyone, especially not Peterborough Bjerre is a cracking rider but now obviously isn't going to be the future of our club. If he was our asset, I'd happily bring him on then sell him to an EL team as we did with Darcy. That's how PL clubs have to survive, unearth a gem and cash in on him later. There's no guarantee that with Bjerre in the side it will bring success. He's a hell of a talent but did only average 5.80 in his 11 PL meetings. If he was our asset, you'd take the risk for the long term gain. As he's not, thanks very much, now don't let the door hit you on your arse on the way out And herein lies the biggest problem with being in the premier league, a talent is discovered and brought on but as soon as a certain level is reached they are off to the elite league never to be seen again.Ok there are a few exceptions, such as our own tom, but there is so little continuity, any decenty prospects are off,or pinched from under our noses!!Just out of interest, can anyone answer this: Why does a rider have to ride 12 "Official "meetings to become an asset, but another club can just come along and offer a contract to sign?
-
probably a case of "i want to sign for peterboro and you cant stop me, like it and i will ride this year, if you dont like it i will ride somewhere else"
-
Salt, pinch of and large spring to mind to take with this news until confirmed! Dan the man in an exchange with dooly would get my vote, but then again , so would moose.Rene bach though? hmm
-
If doolan has priced himself out of a return, how about moose? It doesnt seem like he will be back at glasgow, and after a season visiting relatively strange tracks could be a good bet for this season.Moose for no 1!!!!
-
No thanks, cant see us winning anything with 3 reserves!
-
i would be very surprised if we got chris kerr, especially if he is still on 5 . something.Surely brum will want him back at that?Be a good signing if not.If it fits, would like to see something like doolan, tt, royno,lasse, schrammy,kozza, darren(Or lambo if darrens average wont fit)MAybe linus instead of kozza, but as stated earlier, can he be relied on, or was there an agreement to let him go home this season after 11 meetings with a view to the coming one if they knew he was going anyway?

Sgp2 Or Breakaway Series
castrolargh replied to dirt's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
How about a series of rounds , starting off early season in individual countries, lets say quarter, semi and fina., For arguments sake lets use britain as an example, so british quarter finals , british semi finals, british final, then move on and incorporate the most succesful riders from ,um, over seas maybe and call it, um, the "overseas final", after that , bring in some riders from different continents and call it, err, how about the "inter continental final", and the "continental final " for most of europe. By doing this, every rider in the world, through qualifying would have a chance on the big stage to ride against the best riders from all over the world, the whole series could be topped off by one big event, say , maybe called something grand like "the world final" where the winner couold be called "world champion". That might just work........ -
NL Treated with Contempt
castrolargh replied to Parsloes 1928 nearly's topic in National League Speedway
"what a shambles" "what a disgrace" What a flippin load of old tosh! Rye house Rockets, and to a lesser extent, Cobras, are len silvers BUSINESS at Rye House, the fact is, the nl matches were booked in it would appear, when there was a blank in uncle lennies fixture list.Due to some diabolical summer weather and an extended run in the young shield, where the rockets running is a must for the competition to be completed, that gap in the fixture list has been removed, possibly just put back.Can anyone honestly expect the track at hoddesdon to stand up to 2 days of racing, without running the risk of people moaning that the nl competitions had to make do with a second rate track cos its only the nl. Another point, how succesful, especially in current financial climes would it be to expect people to put their hands in pockets 2 days in a row to watch speedway, cos lets face it i guess a decent proportion of the crowd would be rye fans anyway. "what a bunch of moaners" -
