RebelRebel Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 whose kurts riding for next season then any ideas No-one, He wasn't granted patriality so he wouldn't be able to ride for anyone. But he will join the Rebels in 2014 as an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremierRebel Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Glad to see Brady is still in the picture can be one of the best. Glad they chose Stefan he has great potential as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Where does Kurtz come into it? Deb said the number 7 rider deal is 90% done and fans would be pleased. Personally I think the new signing will bring home the bacon! Well he has a Danish father so I was partly right! bacon, - Danish,- get it! DANISH BACON, why do I bother? Stefan a good signing and he is British which is a bonus. Will he miss home meetings competing in under 19 or 21 championships (whichever ones he is eligible for)?

Pinny Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Kurtz will be a fantastic signing once permitted to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 is he not aussie? When he came over, he came over with British patriality much the same Todd Kurtz, and like his younger brother is doing as well as Dakota North. Yet, I'm sure if you asked any of them where their loyalties lie they will very much say it isn't that in this part of the globe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Very tasty side put together by the Rebels Management, for me the strongest 1 to 7 put together so far for the coming season. I might even have a few quid on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyre bel1 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Looking at the teams so far the Witches are the team to beat dark horses the Rebels if the 2 young reserves get going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say probably, and for that reason I think it would be unfair to expect too much from this years Rebels.For us to be really competitive I feel that at least two of the four second strings will need to be putting on a couple of points on their averages. The obvious candidate for improving is Alex, who finished like a train last season just as he did the season before,but at the beginning of both seasons struggled for form. If he can start like he finishes,a high six/ low seven is not beyond him. Big step up for Kyle into the top five for the first time in his career. He had the luxury of staying at reserve all last term due to the excellent form of the Rebels top five, but made some excellent tactical appearances and regularly won heats 12 and 14.. Tom needs to sort his gating out, on the occasions I`ve seen him , he struggles a bit here, but is rarely off the pace. I`m expecting big things from this year, never gives up. As for the top three, imo we have the best No1 in the Prem. Was there an unluckier rider than Doyley at the end of last season. Comfortably in front in the final of the PLRC, only for the race to be stopped, and then getting injured in the rerun which cost him the title, and probably Somerset the Play offs,as I do not think he would have totalled 12 points over those the two meetings.He is fast becoming a fixture at the OTA,and long may it continue. I always quite liked Josh,not had the luckiest of times with injury and still only 24. He knows how to win and will be good backup for Doyley,as will Nick who came on leaps and bounds last term and imo was the reason Scunny did so well at the back end of the season.I can`t really comment on Stefan except to say welcome and good luck . The vibe from the pits was always positive so if Doyley can keep the team spirit going,you are half way there. Just a quick note to say all the best to Claus, James and Jesper who missed out this season, thanks for the the great effort you put in last time,I hoped you enjoyed your spell with Somerset and I am sure you will be welcomed back whenever you return. I have already wished Sam all the best on the Edinburgh thread. Edited December 15, 2012 by Cliffeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with this, both Kyle and Alex need to push on. But if some riders can find the improvement you will be there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already wished Sam all the best on the Edinburgh thread. Can't argue with any of that Cliffeboy. Our top 3 should ensure that we're competitive wherever we go, but in order to pick up some away wins we're going to need some significant contributions from a couple of the other lads. Whether that happens often enough for us to be challenging at the top of the league, only time will tell. If Jason, Nick and Josh can stay fit then I'm sure we'll not be far away again, but it's a big if. The make-up of our side does leave us particularly vulnerable if/when Nick or Josh are unavailable and the dreaded r/r 'guests' for us. Expecting Alex, Kyle and the 2 young reserves to adequately cover for one of those two is a huge ask. Let's hope that doesn't need to happen too often. Roll on March!

oldtimer Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) No anouncement yet on the cost of matchday programme. I favour the free one we had a couple of seasons back, just 4 sided A4 with racecard in the middle. I don't think people want to pay £2-50 for a few articles in the programme, if you want to read about speedway you buy The Star for £2-80 or £2-24 if you use the W H Smith discount voucher. What do others think? Edited December 17, 2012 by oldtimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
