Odds On Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 But all the riders are being flown out for "one round". Bunyans inclusion in my opinion does nothing for the credibility of the GP series. Batch would have been a far better choice. and remind me, what credentials does "Batch" have for being a NZ GP wildcard?....just wondering like!...if it's because he's the Aussie Chump then Scott Hicholls has just as much credential.

SCB Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 So your saying it's ok to have a Pole or Aussie as wildcard at cardiff? fine, lets have a Welshman then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolly Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I can hear the bikes, but its too cold and as I haven't got a car today. I will wait to hear from any nutters that are brave enough to visit and see how the boys are looking this season. Cant decide if I will go to Ipswich on Friday yet, don't suppose it will be any warmer by then ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant decide if I will go to Ipswich on Friday yet, don't suppose it will be any warmer by then ?? first nutter to quote - quite a few people there today and everyone practiced except Jason B who only flew in this morning but was there for team photo - track looked very good considering everything - hope to see you at Ippo on Friday as I'm sure I wont be the only 'nutter' there (mind you it was freezing cold at the track today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockets Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have to say I cannot wait for this season to start. I am genuinely more excited about this team than any for a few years. Yes Len could and should have used the full allotment. However Everyone between Ollie and Simon has a realistic prospect of achieving a real time (as opposed to rolling) average of seven plus. Ollie might struggle to hold to his average but he will be an out and out number one. I also think Simon has a real chance to improve at reserve and if he does nt there is the shadow of Luke Stevie Boxall and others at Kent waiting in the wings. We may take the odd severe beating but I would be surprised if, barring injuries, we are not voted most entertaining team on our travels. Jason G, Anders and The wave of chaos that is Nelson will be worth the ticket money alone and I see all of them being offered double up opportunities as the season goes on. JB looked back to his best at the end of last season and seems to offer loads in terms of team spirit. The big one though may yet be Lykke - if he only he could start. Some people bemoaned the big wins at home then they moaned at the lack of excitement but credit to Len we have a team full of grit excitement and entertainment. I can feel a 1979 rites of passage forming. Come on the Rockets !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think this team is going to finish far higher up the League than the Pundits in Speedway Star think they will plus there's the Exciting prospect that Young Jason could well be the England Under 21 Champ as the Icing on the Cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 It's early days, however there are always going to be short sighted opinions on how the team will do. It's a side packed with potential, give it time over the season and we're really going to blossom. I still fully expect us to be surprising a fair few and making a decent challenge for the play-offs.

Jonny the spud Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've also put this on today's match thread. Is there and indoor/under cover area at the stadium as I'm thinking of taking an elderly aunt to the meeting today and its a bit cold for her to spend a few hours outside ?

bolly Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Has anybody speculated yet on who can/will ride for the Rockets for the short/medium term future as it looks as though Simon and Jason B will be out for a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks for Simon and ??? for Jason B. Ben Morley Steve Boxall Richie Hawkins Are likely candidates, with Taylor Poole Emiliano Sanchez Jordan Frampton as longshots Maybe its time for the return of 'TOMMY ALLEN' I've got no idea, but I would think that Ben Morley will be in for next weekend with our old mate R/R.

Harman Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I though Frampton had retired. Sanchez or Poole good choices, need to use points available and get Garrity at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
