g13webb Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I don't know, I just hope it's done before next Monday otherwise we'll be in trouble. Mikkel Bech Jensen is who everyone is hoping for i think, few whispers going around it might be true... I'd heard that as well... Probably a wish rather then reality...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 You'd imagine it will be a young Scandinavian of some description. Bech would be an awesome signing but thats probably wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 It's time Robins Legend Mikkel B. made his return to the UK... Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to ride for a club 10 times to be deemed an asset, I thought Mikkel B only rode a handful of meetings for Swindon, so probably he could still be a free agent.. .... No doubt other posters will put me right, if I'm wrong.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looks like Mikkel Bech rode just once for Swindon a couple of seasons back. A signing like that would be a real statement of intent by Buster, and would give young Mikkel some more track time around the Arena before the World Cup this July where no doubt he we will be in the Danish quartet.

I believe he rode more than that for us. He came in towards the end of the season and only ride in a few meetings so not enough to become a Swindon asset though - unless he is one of those "protected" assets I've heard people talk about. Probably not all EL meetings either. Edited May 21, 2013 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against David Howe, but he's not the sort of rider Lynn should be relying on - he's on the way down, not up :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy17 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 if there isn't a planned rider in place, Kim Nilsson would be a good shout, just released by Lakeside. Will be interesting to see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bells are tolling aloud, Its amazing how the gossip gathers pace when there's speculation in the air. As recently as this week, when he was asked about him riding for Kings Lynn, Mikkel Bech didn't deny it .... The plot thickens........

Bagpuss Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 An announcement in the Lynn News on Friday perhaps? We really could do with a new face before the two matches next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any truth? #klstars” maybe! Looking fairly conclusive! Surely if there was no truth he would deny/ignore... Has Buster just pulled off potentially our greatest ever signing?

Bagpuss Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Henka was the club's best ever signing To me the tweet looks like Bech playing along with the speculation but you never know........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Martin Rogers going down to Cambridge on a riders 16th birthday was our best and worst signing. I think you'll find it was all sorted way before then. Signing Lee on his 16th birthday was the official date but talking with Alan Littlechild the deal was in place years before. People will have mixed opinion of Michael, but the one thing he did better than any other rider was his ability to put bums on seats. Cyril Crane and Alan Littlechild will both tell you, Mike Lee was the best draw in speedway and would put 1000 people on the gate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The thing that is sad is that Mike seems to have no long term connection with Lynn :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it was sorted out well in advance of his 16th birthday, just taking the official line. We had the best times with Lee, and of course the worst. Will always be the best thing I ever saw fly around Saddlebow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, and I say if, that would be game-changer and instantly put the Stars as league favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
