B.V 72

Its hard being a B/vue fan at the momment but there is so much b/s and differing statements flying around at Coventry it must be driving the loyal bees fans mad.I just hope that one way or the other a final outcome arrives soon.Truly gutted for you all i really hope that there is a good outcome for you all the very best of luck.

Its either weaken the league or watch a lot of clubs go bust i know which i would prefer. It was Swindons own fault that they have what looks like a poor team because they wanted to sign a maga star.You could have kept Tungate ,Grajczonic and Morris if you had gone the other way. eg Tungate Morris Grajczonic Ellis Sedgmen Nielsen Wajknecht Much better way to go imo.

Yes but remember we had to use r/r for our in form injured no 2 K Bjerre no replacement allowed back then.Not saying we would have won it but in my opinion it would have been much closer.As we did finish top of the league with a team that had a top number one (Crump 9.89 ave) that year and if i remember it right did you not have a top of his game S Nicholls(9.25 ave) as your no 1.Plus B/vues res final combined ave were 9.47 and Covs 9.56 so no difference really.So seeing as both teams had a top number 1 and good reserves i cant' see your point.

Well he was later on in the season at Wolves.

If thats the case from your team will be post a few days ago i hope Richie has a change of heart and we sign Hougaard instead makes for a stronger team imo.

I have no doubt that we will Phil.

What will happen if Belle vue do not run in 2017.------- I will just have to watch speedway on the telly.

My conversion makes Gomolski's last 2015 Elite league average which was 5.51 = 7.71. So sadly would not fit in the team mentioned above.

New promoters perhaps new/more sponsors,New deal with the council and a clean slate,(i would think that any new promoter would not take the club on if any of the present dept was to be passed on)No back dated depts through running at a loss at the dog hole.Going off last years ave crowds prob one of the better supported clubs.So who knows who is or whos not affordable we will all just have to wait and see.

Which ever way you look at it both signings were wrong. Strengthening a team so near to the play off imo is wrong and i am glad to say the BSPA agree with me and have put a stop to it this year.

Tiny budget do you think there would be that much diference in NKI,s wage and Holders.

Best i can come up with King Kylmakorpi Bjerre Garrity Schlein Bates 2 pointer 49.88

Would be happy with that team bar Richie.Would love for him to be in the team but i think Hougaard would be a better choice both assets if that still applys no loan fees etc.With Hougaard in this league the team would have 3 heatleaders with Richie the team would have 3 2nd strings and they both fit(with Toft,Auty,Berge,L Bjere).I know its all guess work But just looking at this team i think we would have more success with Hougaard in the team and a winning team brings in the crowds and thats what the club needs to keep going.

Neither can i really just passing the winter months away to see who could fit and see if i could put a reasonable team together with Holder in it etc. Sad to say that your team to my reconing is 1.41 over so we cant have them all Steve and Richie last years second string and reserve have high prem league averages so its hard to form a decent team that inc them both.I would rather have Hougaard and a 7 pointer than Richie and a 7 pointer.ie Auty.L Bjerre.Berge etc.

Zagar/Fricke Cook Hougaard Batchelor Schlein Bewley Smith - Holder Cook Hougaard Batchelor/Schlein Jacobs Bewley Smith

Fricke Cook Hougaard S Worrall Auty/Toft Bewley Smith

Cook the Worrells Fricke/Hougaard Bewley poss Jacobs would be most Belle vues fans team of choice not a make do cheap team.

Was Carswell ever named as a promoter of Belle vue or did he just put money into the club.?

I have my opinions as we all do but the truth is no one will ever find out what really happened. The council and the BSPA/new promoter will or will not be able to reach a new deal who knows only time will tell.We will all just have to wait and see.

This is my worry to i posted the same thought on another thread.I just hope that if the BSPA want speedway to continue at Belle vue they have someone or a new promoter in place getting a competitive team together for next year.Because as you say if the same thing happens as it did in 2007 when the new promoters took over late and we had a very poor team of left over riders that other teams did not want then we are in big trouble.The die hard fans will still stand behind the club if they field a very poor team as they did in 2007 but the new /returning fans i would think will not so the gates will fall in a big way.So a poor team will lead to poor crowds and without good crowds to bring in the money any new promoter will need to make a go of the club will not be there. A poor team will leave Belle vues future looking very bleak.

Fricke Cook Hougaard S Worrall L Bjerre Bewley J Smith

While all this is going on i hope the BSPA have someone trying to put a competitive team in place for next year.Because if the same thing happens as in 2007 when Gordon and Morton took over late in the year the club will still have major problems.They had to put out a team of riders that were left over after every other promoter had put their team together and we all know what happened then.The team was that bad we hardly won a meeting.Now the old die hard fans will put up with this as we did then but alot of the new/returning fans from last year will not.So if you put out a p poor team you just wont get the crowds the club needs.P poor team= poor crowds.Poor crowds = not much income.Low income = its all over.I am sad to say that if they allow this to happen then we might as well call it a day now instead of drawing it out over another year.

True but start with a 13+average no1 and see what the rest of the team looks like.

True but there are going to be a few odd looking teams this year so who knows until we see them all. Could swap Fricke and Williamson for Zager and Payne. But as you say the important thing is having a club that runs next year.

Seeing as we are running next years lets look forward to that whats your team for next year i will start us off. C Cook 9.88 M Fricke 9.91 P Hougaard 8.71 S Worrall 8.51 M P Toft 5.18 D bewley 4.00 M Williamson 3.76 49.95 All have links with the club and all ride the NSS well.
