  1. Quite right... My appetite for the new season has been suppressed by this team switch! VG will be behind Shanes/Morris and Paco in the averages....putting him 6th in the side....imo Thomsen will be back before we know it? (especially if he carried on the way he ended the season?)
  2. Looks like the management had limited options to replace THJ......if I remember rightly, VG performed reasonably well at PB last season? He'll probably end up at reserve with Paco coming in to the main body? Play-Off credentials have dropped massively : )
  3. If there is, I hope its when you ride us ! : ))))
  4. Unfortunately we didn't have much choice with Lee's departure, It was always going to be temporary, as he juggled both clubs.... It's just a shame that we didn't employ an apprentice to work alongside him? Not an easy task selling 'speedway' these days?
  5. Our commercial/marketing department needs a complete overhaul imo..... Since Lee Kilby departed, it's been non-existent!
  6. Quite right Col..... having said that....it seems that 'speedway' in itself is all about surviving and winning anything is a bonus!? (just my opinion)
  7. Seems like an opportunity for the club to make a statement on the clubs website....build a bit of publicity and momentum for the start of the season??? Press and practice just 3 weeks away!?
  8. Brilliant signing! I bet there'll be a few alterations on the 'prediction thread' ? : )
  9. At least its brought B'ham's forum alive again : ) I wouldn't be too distraught if 'anybody' pulled out atm ? Plenty of options out there!
  10. Not wanting to sound 'dis-respectful' here.....are we swaying away from the thread point by analysing how many Brits each team have, as opposed to the development, or lack of, re: British Talent? B'ham have 5 Brits, but how many of that 5 are we helping to develop? answer would be 3 imo ?
  11. I'd be more than happy for Scunthorpe to bag the title in Danny's memory!
  12. Fair point! Lets just say some have more than others then? (imo)
  13. Are we asking for safer racing ? or better racing ? Better/closer racing will always come with a high safety risk ? It's tracks where riders fall without being challenged that need addressing? ( e.g Ashley Morris at Poole last season....bend 3 if i remember correctly?) What we want is dirt on the track, just to give the rider an option of either racing, or just settling for whatever position they find themselves in after the start? As for better racing? it would be a good idea to try and get all gate positions equal if that was possible? (just for starters.....pardon the pun)
  14. Any news on who's going to be looking after the track next season?
  15. I think Kent should've staggered their increase in meeting fees....big jump for the 'home' fans!
  16. Look like Scott Nicholls doesn't come cheap !
  17. I guess you have to earn respect and that can be done in many ways ? i don't think you have to have been a 'good' rider to earn respect ? Integrity,commitment and passion would be top of my list! Everyone loves a trier as they say !
  18. It all points to a positive acquisition.....I can't see him having 'any' authority when LR is present ? we might need someone with a tad more experience for tactical decisions? He sounds very knowledgeable re: engines/set-ups etc ?
  19. Alan was hard, but not dirty imo Sid !? having said that, I was only a kid when he was in his prime, so I wouldn't of had the knowledge to make judgement? As for CM? he admitted that he 'done' Big Al, simply because he wanted to knock him down a peg or two!
