Chris Schramm. http://www.thisisply...l#axzz2KlnZtkPM

If that's Mark Lemon past his best, then welcome to Plymouth Devils Mark Good ride by Tyron, but i hope him and Mark don't team ride like that this year for the Devils

Roger i'm 61, if you want to call me a youth, you carry on mate

Been doing it all my life, and it's not stopped yet

Thats it cheers rog.

Plymouth team is on the Official Speedway website now, so we are sorted

Sorry Lee Trigger team manager for the Devils.

I agree, in my opinion i think the club are on a no lose situation with Chris Schramm, to get him on a cma of under 5 is a snip, and so is Kling on 6.61, to have him on that cma after riding in the EL with Poole last year, is a shrewd move by Lee.

I know the feeling Dave.

http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/Sedgeman-s-sorry-manner-Devils-exit/story-17869825-detail/story.html Just show's all the talk about signing an American was wrong.

Mike my post wasn't aimed at people like you, it was aimed at people that just come on and just aim there post at getting a responce, your right about me sometimes being negative, and like you i am sometimes a negative sod, but thats just my opinion and i have had my share of stick for that, but my post was aimed at people that don't support the team, being they don't go to the meetings on a friday night, and come on the thread making coments that they know will get a responce, i know your support the team, and your opinion i value, don't always agree with it, like you don't sometimes about mine, but i do value it.

The only people who are negative are the one's who don't support the team, so they don't count, i'm very happy with the team, and am fully behind Lee and the team, i think bringing in Mark Lemon is a very good move by Lee, the only negative i have is the wait to see the lads.

Not sure about Lemon, but i can't see why the other three can't improve there average's, Kurtz for sure, Gathercole and Schramm wouldn't take much, both had a bad year by there standards last year, so only have to get back to near there best to put a bit on there average.

Happy with that Dave, much better having Chris Schramm than Hawkins, had a bad year last year but in the right team he can up his cma i feel.

Your right Mike about Boxall, such a waste of a talent, thats one rider that i did rate, top man in the PL, the trouble with Hawkins i cant see him improving on the cma he has now, i think Lee is trying to sign someone who can, there are a lot of riders like Hawkins in this Country that i would look at before him, riders that have been on a higher cma that could improve on the one they have now because of a bad year last year. I think some teams overlook how crucial having a decent 2 and a good 4 is for any speedway team, there will be times in a meeting where not having them will cost a team, something the team have found out to there cost in the past when other teams like Somerset have came to the sba, i just hope Lee don't make that same mistake, i'm sure he wont, we have a very 4, we just need the same at 2 now.

The only decent report on the club is in the Sunday Independent by him, so you could be right Mike, but i don't no what the score is with the Evening paper, you get a report one day, then the next day you get a different one from the day before, seems someone in the herald needs to do there job. Mike i agree with you about the situation with the rider that goes at 2, if Todd does well at reserve and moves up we need a good rider at 2 if he does have to move to reserve, i think the rider at 2 is a crucial rider for the club to get, i have no problem if the club brings in Ben Reade or any 3 point rider, but they need to use the points left to find a half decent rider for the 2 position, if they do get a rider on a 5.5 average and he don't at least keep that average we will be in trouble if Todd moves up, but like you say Mike keeping Todd at reserve would be ideal, but it's all down to who the club gets for the final position in the main body of the team, and if he can keep his average he comes in on.

Like you lewy i'm all for the supporters club if they help the riders, and the best way to do that is with the 50/50 draw, even like me you don't want to join, you can still help the riders.

The first thing the club needs to do is to appoint a press officer, then when a story goes into the paper, it don't contradict the one before, for at start i'm not impressed with the reporter for the Herald whoever he or she is for not quoting the previous report and questioning what was said by Ashley, but then the club has never been helped by the paper from the word go, when you see good reporters they will question previous coments if they are different from the one being offered, thats good reporting to me in my opinion. Like you i will be staying clear of the supporters club, i was warned when the club first started to stay away from the supporters club, i will support the riders by buying 50/50 raffle tickets, but will find out first that 50% of the money will be going to them, i trust Carol and if she says that the money will be going to the riders, then thats good enuff for me.

This report in the local paper is different to the one quoted above, i'm losing the will to live, i'm behind any rider the club signs, but i wish one person from the club would deal with the Herald, because you get a different story in every report they put in the paper, and in my opinion the paper's not helping the club by doing that. http://www.thisisply...tail/story.html

There is a report in the local paper today where Ashley Taylor says that progress on signing one of the remaining riders is progressing well, but the club is still considering what they are going to do about the vacant reserve place, i'm glad to hear that, because the club needs a rider with PL experience to fill that gap, the rider everyone was talking about taking that place would be taking a big risk for the club, he needs to prove himself in the NL for me, and riding at heat leader in that league, the club will not be getting a world beater for the points left, but i feel they need to get a rider that at least has some PL rides behind him, Glanz would do for me, not the best rider around but for the points we have left he is.

Spot on screm, it's not Sheffields fault Wells mads a loss last year, he must have liked the deal they gave him last year, if not he would not have signed, once he was signed it's up to him after that, it's easy to work up, the more points you get, the more money you get, the less points you get, the less money you get.

I did the same lewy, after Plymouth finished i went to Exeter every monday with my mates from work in the Dockyard, any support i can give to the Falcons cause, i'm all for it, and yes i don't want this to turn into an Exeter thread, but i welcome them just the same, all speedway supporters should help one another.

A Nelson square is better, not so hard on your teeth.
