Opinionated

Oh dear MikeyT. Bit touchy aren't we? My comments about Alex and his permit were first posted on the Plymouth forum. You made absolutely no comment about it on there. I make a reference on here and you go off on one. The article does make reference to a potential problem and even alludes to the cases of Campton and Masters. Why shouldn't we believe the reporter, as the comments supposedly come from Team Manager Trigger? Oh, but of course, you already know that don't you? Seeing's as YOU wrote the article for the website!! Ok, in future I wont read anything you write on here or there, because as you say just because its in black and white doesn't mean its true. Or do you always write a load of b******s? Happy Christmas.

What a farce. How unprofessional. Nothing surprises me anymore. I wouldn't have considered Lemon anyway, but this is not clever. Now it seems there are potential doubts about Alex Davies getting a work permit, according to the BBC sport webpage. You simply couldn't make this up, could you?

So, Lemon and Katajisto make it 6 of the 7 riders for 2014. www.plymouthherald.co.uk Season of struggle beckons, once again.....

Instead of the 'Devon Demons' why not have the 'Devon Falcons'?

Oh bless. You are entitled to think what you will. You both disagree with me. that's fine, that's democracy. Just because we disagree, it doesn't make my thoughts rubbish or invalid. Grow up the pair of you. Oh and I have absolutely NO CONNECTION at all with Bowden.

Good riddance. Now to change the team manager as well,please.

I remember that too Parsloes..... I was there too. It was v Weymouth!

So the top heavy Pirates win. Yet it was the form of their two reserves,Josh n Kyle that won it for them. Huge congratulations to everyone concerned.

Not forgetting Penhall at White City if course..... Not forgetting Penhall at White City if course..... Not forgetting Penhall at White City if course.....

I sincerely hope thats not Plymouths confirmed line up.Id definitely put Stichauer at No.2 and leave Jensen at No.3 with Kata at No.4.

Thank you Najjer. Thats the whole point of this thread.

So Lewy, can you provide the link to the discussions regarding signing Mikkel? Any further mention of me being involved with the former promotion or any thing to do with the incidents from last night will result in legal action. You are 100% out of order. All I have done is outline my concerns regarding certain riders and presenters. I raised concerns early on about Kling and Schramm. So who was right? Both have since moved on, and the management even acknowledged they had been looking for replacements for a while before. So they were obviously thinking the same as I was! Ask those that were at Leicester early in the season,They were all for getting rid of Trigger for his inept display that night, and a few since. I have watched racing at every possible level and watched 1000's of meetings all over the World. Without any doubts at all, the meeting presentations at the SBA are the worst I have come across. Baxendale is clueless. I like the idea of the riders coming to the start line, without their helmets on. However,as they leave the pits, the riders should be introduced individually instead of ''here come Witches' or whoever. Then a little of each riders background instead of 'No1 Ben Barker', No2 ... and so on. The presenter is there to keep us all up to date with latest results from around the country, when and where the Devils riders have been since the last meeting,etc. So what does Baxendale do? Hang over the fence to shout at his mates in the crowd and lark around on the centre green. It makes the club look very amateurish. For all the good work behind the scenes, his actions undo a lot of it.The whole show falls flat because he doesn't know how to present. Oh, and why should I go to another track when I live within 0.5 mile of the the SBA? I DO want the best for Plymouth Speedway, These are my opinions, you don't like them? Fair enough, Im not that bothered to be honest. Put me on your ignore list and you wont have to make spurious comments like you have here. If the management do not want to reply to my comments, made in very good faith, then fair enough, that's their prerogative. I DO NOT have any agenda as others have said, I only want the best for the club, however there is room for improvement

Please be good enough to provide the link to this discussion, as I cant find one on the official website. Im not posting crap, as you put it. Im just quoting other information thats available via this website and the Heralds. I'm questioning the validity of the their story. Either they have got it completely wrong, or Trigger has given them wrong information. Which is it? Other on another thread on here others have raised the question regarding Bech riding at Glasgow. There has not been any comment on the official website,which is the only place I look for any information. Oh, and by the way, I have contacted the management by letter,but have yet to receive any acknowledgement whatsoever.

Article from our local rag… thisisplymouth.co.uk I don’t know what to believe any more. Im under the impression he is riding in the World U21 Final at Berwick on that Saturday? Also under DMU rules, all their riders have a 48 hour restriction put on them before the meeting. Therefore, that would put him out of the Friday meeting at Somerset as well. That is of course unless the DMU have changed their stance? On the Glasgow v Plymouth thread, questions were raised about Bech riding at Glasgow last Sunday. Strange how he topped scored for his Polish club at the very same time he should have been at Ashfield? Im not sure what time the meeting up there was called off, but it wouldn’t have given him much time to arrange a flight out to Poland. Or had it all been previously arranged?, and therefore short changing all the fans who might have turned up especially to watch him? Not to mention the travelling fans, as I didn’t see any pr suggesting he wouldn’t have been there. Now you see him…….now you don’t…… Shame really, as he is a genuine talent and is exciting to watch The article……. DANISH sensation Mikkel Bech has turned his back on a hefty pay-day to help keep Plymouth Devils in the Premier League play-offs race, Herald Sport has learned. Bech, 17, already a world cup winner with Denmark, was due to ride in Germany next Saturday, when Devils take on southwest rivals Somerset Rebels at home next Saturday. Plymouth, who take on Rebels in Somerset next Friday, must win both meetings if they want to keep their play-offs hopes alive. A Devils without Bech is like a dog without a tail these days as the teenager not only wins big points for Plymouth, but also entertains the crowd while he's doing it. Team manager Lee Trigger said Bech's loss for the Somerset home meeting would have put the city speedway club in a difficult position. The Devils have been riddled with injuries, a process which began in May when number one Ty Proctor was badly enough hurt to end his season. Latest rider to have a trip to the physio is skipper Cory Gathercole, who is suffering from a dislocated shoulder. Simon Nielsen and Todd Kurtz are both carrying knocks, although all three turned out for Devils in their shock 46-44 away win at league leaders Workington Comets on Saturday. Trigger said the Dane was willing to give up his trip to Germany to ride for Plymouth, who have an outside chance of making the Premier's top six and the play-offs. The Devils' team boss said: "The meeting in Germany is about big crowds and big money. "Mikkel was due to be absent from the team on Saturday so he could ride over there, but he's decided to ride for us instead. "He signed up for the meeting before he joined us (earlier in the season), but he loves it so much at Plymouth he's decided to give up what should be a meeting which earns him money to ride for us. "I think that shows that a big rider like that – and he is – recognises that we as a club have a lot of ambition." Meanwhile, Bech is due to become a Plymouth 'asset' in two meetings' time. The Dane had to appear in a total of eight meetings – four home and four away – before the Devils owned his contract. Bech has one home meeting, against Redcar this Saturday, and one away, probably against Somerset next Friday before Devils own his contract. Trigger said that situation, when it comes about, could mean a significant amount of money for the club. He said: "Mikkel should be our asset on Friday on Friday, August 9. "If he didn't ride for us next year, we can loan him out to other clubs. "And if an Elite League club comes in for him, we could get quite a substantial amount of money for him."

They were having talks with Kennett,last I heard.
