Think Bjerre would be a horrendous signing. Riding poor enough before his broken leg!

Pretty sure there were nearly half the amount of gps when Stoney was in them and when he was away they used a guest

Yes tsunami theres a massive resemblance as i pointed out earlier in the topic. Sad to see that both newport and workington could both be history after the size of our crowds back in the late 90's... By far the two biggest sets of supporters ive ever seen in the PL.

Certainly not am just saying, newport also had expensive teams and low crowds but constant threats in the press done us no favours at all Id never invest in a speedway club in this day and age unless i had a bottomlessnpit of millions and millions and i give a certain amount of respect to anyone who does invest but just like the malletts at newport, people were longing for a successful business man like denham to come in and splash the cash and since he has it just hasnt worked out sadly.

One thing is for sure, threatening the fans with closure wont tempt fans back, we had it at Newport last season and crowds didnt pick up at all.

Maybe Doolan to Berwick, seems to score well all the time there remember he scored well for Newport as a guest at tail end of last season? Dont think he will ever return to an over 8 point rider infact i am sure he only ever had a couple of seasons as a high flying number 1, ive always had him down as a solid second or third heatleader .

You just fed him yourself a few posts up! Quality.

Holder has been rubbish all season but think you will find Kurtz hasnt done a bad job... Granted he has been poor away on times but his home average from the difficult number 2 position is probably about 6?? Surely 2012 will be the last of Bowden involved in speedway?

where as at Somerset he has Cardiff, Bristol, Exeter all within an hour (ok cardiff maybe 1.25 hours) and main airports like Heathrow, gatwick, stansted a lot closer than Berwick. I know from speaking to Robin a few times that he loves Somerset so if they are willing to have him, which on his average id imagine they will, i can see him heading there. If you really think clubs and riders dont talk during the season then you must have lost your marbles Tsunami... Id bet 20+ riders are already near signed up at new clubs for next year already!!

Hardly poaching is it? Its ideal for him with more airports within range, he flys around the OTA and likes it down there, would of joined them earlier in season I think but for one reason or another it didnt happen.

Would be stunned if Aspegren isnt at Somerset next season.

Pedersen simply shut the door, if Jonsson had gone by no doubt some of the knobends on here would be questioning why Nicki had left a gap for him to go through. Imo no different to the recent Andersen/Ward final bend at Swindon, where Ward shut off when Andersen slammed the door, cant remember Hans getting slated for that apart from a few uneducated bufoons. If that had been any other rider nothing would of been said and if people were genuinely offended by Nickis post race behavior then get a life!!!

Plymouth be a lot better off when that walking bag of rubbish Bowden leaves the club!

Correct me if im wrong but isnt gjedde currently nursing a broken back hence missing meetings? He certainly was fine for Newport last season in fact dont think he missed one meeting!

The lack of deal with the stock cars may well be why the Malletts pulled out... But the reason why speedway is no longer in Newport is because the Malletts would not sell up to Phil Morris when he offered a price worth more than what they ended up getting at scrap value... This is a fact. The squad the Malletts assembled this season would of been unstoppable imo... The two key members were Mellgren and Aspegren and look at their form for Rye and Berwick... Add a super reserve in Kurtz who has more or less held his average in the main body of a poor Plymouth team and we would of had a mega side. Unfortunately it wasnt to be and the Club is no more although I heard rumors on the weekend that plots of land just outside Newport are being looked at and have the councils backing, how true this is i do not know lets just hope that, Peter Mole and Kevin Brown excepted, none of the previous promotors or managers are anything to do with it!!

Ward was found not guilty of all charges so that really should be the end of it... He turned down the GP place because of the fact he may of been slung into prison before the GP series had startes which could of resulted in a big punishment by the FIM as well as having to choose between Poland and the GPs.

People slate Leicesters promotion but look at the improvement in the club this season... Then look at Plymouths "progression" this season. The Lions deserve a lot of credit, espiecially with a side that, IMO, looks quite average!

It only takes a fall out with the promotion for Tai to move elsewhere. Personally dont see why he would move he has come on a bundle at EL level but still has a long way to go before he is GP class but thats for a different topic. Think Lynn should retain NKI as he really has held the side together at times this year and upped his game all over Europe big time. Id get shot of Korneliussen, as much as I like the guy he proved last season was a bit of a one season wonder.

Mellgren will be pushing a 9 point figure next season imo... Class rider.

Id go with Woffy as number one and make the other 6 signings form a solid back up to him with a 5 point reserve... Would leave Lindgren out his form in the EL is slipping whereas it should be getting stronger with the EL getting weaker each year!

Oops

Gjedde Mellgren Nelson Grajczonek Lykke Nielsen Auty Morley Would that come under 42.5? Be a hell of a side if so and would imagine it fits assuming Nielsen gets a proper figure

Some parts of the world are just more talented than others at certain sports. Look at brazil and argentina... Class above english footballers yet you cant tell me their facilities back home are superior to english facilities??

Make mellgren your first signing. Has been a revelation for rye this year. What is gjeddes actual average for rye this season?

Worrall may of come on a lot this season but he is still not one of the top 10 PL riders as yet, which is what this thread is based on.
