BANANAMAN

Fair play & Good Luck to the young lad for taking up the chance to ride .

Roo Boy instead of Watt gives the Pirates a huge advantage .. Great choice of guest & could swing it Poole's way . But I reckon Bees with a team which everyone of them capable of a heat win will do it by 4 .. Lets hope for big crowd ,great racing & an injury free night & SPEEDWAY WILL BE THE WINNER ..

Have the first 10 heats really been " FROM THE GATE " or is somebody on a wind up because it's at Leicester ?

Be a bit more positive .... If you add in the ages of the two reserves the average age of the team comes down a hell of a lot .. Best starting 7 you have had for yonks !!

STILL a big 16-1 with Ladbrokes as of 10 mins ago ..You would be daft no to !!!

ELRC CHAMPION .... Got em sorted pretty sharpish ..Fair play to him ..

Coventry by 8 .. Jamrog to score 4-5 . Auty to shine ..How is he at reserve ??

He's said NOT interested at all ... Think we all know why MJJ is avoiding the UK ..Don't we ?

Many of us had Bees at 80/1 in the Championship season ,people won shed loads ..A couple even got 100/1. You don't need to be a fan either !! Its the team with the best seven in sept / oct ....And there's also loads of luck involved too !! Buy some money & back the Pirates ... Gamble on the Bees ,Its good value I reckon before a wheels turned , they have the scope & financial clout to make changes later on in the season if needed . They did before & bookies paid out big time !!

It has to be down to cost doesn't it ? Its the only logical explanation ..

Bees promoter Mick Horton said: “We’ve left no stone unturned over this last place, we’ve spoken to many riders who aren’t coming back or can’t do it, and we’ve now got to the point where we had to make a decision. “I’ve talked to several riders who have either ridden with Jakuk or seen him race, and they’ve all said he goes very well in Europe. “I’ve also spoken to the lad himself this weekend and he is really, really determined and enthusiastic, and is also all set up to race here with equipment, workshop and mechanic. Give the bloke a chance , I reckon he could be a gem ! .. a breathe of fresh air rather than same old ,same old .. Roll on Friday

Point taken ..See you next Friday .

Forgive me for being a bit slow ..but what's a bspa insider ?

But if he's the best one those WHO WANT TO RIDE in the UK you cant knock the club ....can you ???

Maybe the club are waiting to reveal the new rider at the press day next week ? Nothing like a bit of suspense is there ? Then the Bees " fans" will be able to go and moan to Horton's face instead of doing it on here !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would he fit in at Brandon ?

Does Shamek want to ride in the UK then ? ..If so ,is it just about the money ? How about sticking £2 on an admission ticket & that could pay towards Shameks wages .. I do recall when the EX Bee went to Poole the Brandon Faithful questioned his commitment & availability ...WHATS CHANGED ?

What if Klindt is the best rider available of the riders who want to ride in the UK ? Surely you should wait until you are have all the facts before you start moaning !!

To Fit Ward in.... lets be honest to keep Magic & Chris there would have to be major surgery to the 5 ..Don't forget Wards average ..it would make it very difficult .It could be done but would it make the TEAM stronger ?

I would like to be the first to ask does MJJ fit before SOMEBODY else gets on here !!

Not at all interested in the UK at the moment , couple of teams have been in contact but its a no go .

I don't know if this has been asked before but has Darcy get a manager or mentor ? Someone perhaps to point out " that might not be a good idea " type of person . That's what I think he needs .. The world of sport is littered with sad cases of self destruction . I am not a Poole fan but Ward for me is one of the riders of which there are few I would willingly part with my hard earned every week to see . Last chance saloon my be a bit dramatic but for his own sake lets hope he can get his head down & achieve what he should with the great talent he has ...OR just become a bloke who fans remember who had it all & gave nowt ... Its up to him at the end of the day !!

Would MMJ fancy a full season over here ? Kenni Larsen is another who has not been mentioned , was well thought of by many at Brandon .

Which youngsters were you hoping your club signed ? Howarth was wanted by Swindon & Max wants to ride for the Aces . Who were your choices of riders available to the Bees then ?

That Coventry team does have solid look about it . If they ALL perform to their full potential its looks like being a good season at Brandon . Whatever a supporters view of Mick Horton is there is not a lot to moan about there !!!! ..Apart from the regular grumps who will find fault as always .......
