Edinburgh Champions 2013 ? 😄


Recommended Posts

Don't think so... Didn't think he was an asset of any club prior to 2012...

 

From a team point of view, I can see the sense in keeping a stable team using our own assets and keeping costs to as minimum as possible...

However, I also see the sense in freshening up the side, bringing a bit of eccentricity back to the side which if we go with the class of 2012, CC and JT apart, are stale at Armadale right now...

 

Send Pijper back along the M8 then, we were more than happy to have him again in 2012 but opted two 5 point Australians, neither of whom will ride for us in 2013 for varying reasons!

Afraid that's rhubarb if you think Theo was "stale" at Armadale :blink: His GSA increased from 5.98 with the Tigs in 2011, to 7.71 this season and banged in an impressive 15 point home max in the last home match.

I am aware he was a favourite with the Tigeratti, but Monarchs would be nutz :P not to include him in 2013, let alone obligingly send him westwards along the M8.

I could not agree more. Theo was a great third heat leader. Always did his job! Deserves a place in 2013. Can't see past him. Cookie, tabaka, theo and Derek. Those 4 plus 3 for me

I've never been a fan of Pijper ever, as I though he lacked something and didn't deliver the goods on a regular basis. This year I saw a different tigerish and faster Theo who impressed everytime I saw him. Let's hop e he keeps that up this next year, and possibly gets himself some decent Kevlars.

From his POV it must be good to know he's wanted, especially after the 'place' he was in a few years ago. Well done to him.

It will ultimately be an average thing and what permutations the Edinburgh management have up there sleeve if Theo can be fitted in I would welcome Theo back to Glasgow with open arms , in the second half of the 2012 season he really upped his game with us and carried that on this season.

 

Think everyone up this way is just thankful that the two teams are taking too the track next season after all the uncertainty and whatever we get we get as long as it is cost effective.

If guys like John have had enough it's time for the B.S.P.A. to wake up and smell the coffee.

 

Er, as a promoter wasn't he part of the British Speedway Promoters Association?

What about Mark Lemon in place of Deek or Matty ?

 

Would rather have Deek or Matty. Lemon a great guy and can still score well (when he gates) but quite injury prone and with him being Aussie team manager think league racing wont be his main interest soon.

Who for?

 

A new track could be the real making of Tully.

 

You can get Scalextric tracks quite cheap now in time for Xmas.

 

Before any Litigation i accept no responsibility for the above post just saying like.

 

But in all seriousness i would take him at Glasgow MD is correct he needs a change same as Josh with us can only improve on his average.
