  1. I don't think Smith will have the necessary visa to get over to ride in the UK. Ash Birks is taking a year out to get over his injuries, and is concentrating on helping the Promotion with Promoting the club.
  2. He owns the contract could have offered Poole them the first option to buy the contract of him.
  3. So if Bjerre was to sign for Peterborough, an Elite League club. The Elite League club would have first choice on his services.
  4. Sorry not to see Taylor coming back, but if his heart is not in it then he has made the right decision all round not to make the trip over. As for any replacements its difficult to see where they are coming from and maybe Scunny may need to replace Taylor and another rider as well.
  5. Final word on Workington and Hansen as this is a Peterborough thread. Amazed that Hansen was classed as a success, the guy did drop from been the Workington number 1 to reserve was that down to been inconsistent or poor. Going on his performance at Sheffield where the track blends in well with riding the boards he was frankly very poor 7 from 6 rides was not raging success frankly. Hansen played his part in the fact that Workington not making the Play Off's as did the vast majority of the team with the exception of Ricky Wells.
  6. Rubbish. The only team not to drop any points at home were Workington, they never gain a point away from home which was their demise last season, and don't think that can be attributed to one rider alone.
  7. I don't see how Mitch Davey would be allowed to take up the number 7 role. Does he have a British passport, if not then I would imagine that he not be allowed to take the role.
  8. No doubt about Kenneth Bjerre been a very good signing for any Premier League club. But I think that you have to consider the fact that he will be more than likely be riding in Poland. Peterborough have already stated that they intend to run home meetings on a Sunday their is more than likely going to be some fixture clashes, and my guess is that if he does decide to ride Poland his Polish commitments will take priority. Good signing maybe but not much good if he is going to missing due to other commitments, and if and when he does miss I am not so sure that you would be able to use a Guest facility.
  9. Did the Paul Cooper at Sheffield, to this day I still don't know how the referee decided that Cooper should have been excluded. In the re run Vissing won the race and promptly went on a lap of honour, and there was a mass brawl at his return to the pit gate, and Vissing copped a hefty fine for failing to control his mechanic.
  10. Why do people bother arguing with Starman. Your never ever going to get any sensible debate out of him. The easiest thing to do is don't react to him and he will go away.
  11. You forgot Josh Auty upping his average up to 10. Wilkinson pushing his average up to 6.5 And Taylor and Alex upping their averages slightly above the 7 point.
  12. Do think that there is a rule saying Jack could not do both jobs. But maybe Ash Birks could be asked to take on the role if Jack is not available.
  13. Now only 4 places remaining in the league. Edinburgh are looking for a 3 point rider, after showing an un- named the door due to excessive financial demands. Newcastle are on the hunt for a third rider of no more than 7.22, if the rumours are is Mr Kus maybe they are squabbling over the transfer fee. Peterborough are looking for rider of no more than 8.45, keep seeing the name Bjerre been heavily banded around but with them running on Sundays will Bjerre give up the lucrative contract of Poland for Peterborough. If not Bjerre then I think it will be a Dane and I am hearing that Simon Lambert is changing his name to Simon Lambertsen. Redcar are looking for a rider of no more than 8.40, answers on a postcard as to who Redcar are going to sign.
  14. Total agree with those sentiments it was blindly obvious that is what he meant.
  15. I don't think a ban was necessary, a simple changing the title of the thread would and should have sufficed.
  16. For me it would not matter what league my team rode in, Elite, Premier or National, I would still attend meetings and support the team basically because I love the sport and love my team. And I don't think the racing in as better in any of the leagues, you will get your fair share of good and bad meetings any of the leagues. But of them all my preferred choice is the Premier, there is a wider choice of opposition, and more competition to go at. League KO Cup League Cup Play Off's Fours Pairs League Riders Championship Premier League all the way for me.
  17. I think that for clubs to move up into the Elite League from the Premier League they need to look at the last three clubs who have made the move. Birmingham is went bust and moved down to the National League. Leicester have been far from a raging success and appear to be have problems building a team for this season with the insistence that they run on a Saturday night. Kings Lynn are the only one of the three who have had any degree of success and managed to make a decent success in the league. Add to the fact that Ipswich have moved down, and Peterborough move down to the Premier League, and Eastbourne move down two leagues to the National League. I think that it would take a very brave Promoter to even consider moving up into the Elite League.
  18. Of course you are entitled to your views. To be honest reading your previous thoughts I got the feeling the Play Off's were biggest reason for you staying away.
  19. Never said did not ever, I can only speak for the meetings that I have seen.
