bigeddiechek Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I think with regard to punching above our weight, several here have missed the point... Shadders, you went to Exeter where you were usually rubbish, and thumped them. Not that I'm insinuating anything I have a new T-Shirt, THERE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE TOLD--THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE TOLD WHAT TO BELIEVE----THEN THERE IS ME Hey Taffy, I believe what I am told. So, I believe that you will be team manager next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 win or lose, I want to be entertained. Try that bit on with Robin H -- lose, and he demands scalps, blood and a whole new team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm insinuating anything You're not suggesting Exeter threw the match are you Eddie? Rockets were high on confidence and had an excellent guest in Shaun Tacey, unbeaten as I recall. It still riles B4E every time I mention it. Still ranks as the best tour I went on and one of the highlights of my 28 years supporting the Rockets.

I wouldn't suggest anything of the kind though, Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 The only two things that are important for me is a well prepared track and good close racing, win or lose, I want to be entertained. And we haven't seen any of that on anywhere near a regular bases this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I was only 3 in 1991 but if we signed riders of the calibre of Nilsson, Tatum and well a good solid seven. Yes we would be out of buisness. That being said we had good teams in 02,03 and 05 without going bust and we are still living the dream 8 years on. One signing in 2010 proved how things can change... Adam Pietraszko had a smiliar effect in 2004 for a short period anyway Good opprtunity to bring a new face in for next season presented itself so we bring back the ex gf. Don't really want to, but will do in the short term... Small clubs don't pay big fees for riders.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big signings needed, keep Bellego, replace the rest, go for a team in depth that can gate and team ride. The only rider capable of team riding since the Czechs has been Ricky Ashworth, we have 7 capable riders in paper this season, but no team.

bigeddiechek Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 The secret to the 2005 team was that we often had Wilko, Scud, Schrammy, or Pietrasko at reserve, and often two out of those four. We haven't been consistently strong enough at reserve for a long time. I agree with Taffy - - strength in depth is crucial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Maybe its more cost effective not too have 7 riders who consistantly score more than there average Adrian and Michal both had there best ever seasons at that point in 2005, people seem quick to forget this. Michal was averaging nearly 9 points early dorrs. Adrian finished with a figure of about 8.40 I would like to see Kozza back, aside from his entertainment, he actually does the buisness but personal preference and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Though the track was decent tonight,pretty slick but it produced some close racing with the riders being able to use the-outside line with confidence.priority for next season is to produce a decent every week.Good to see the improvement of the junior riders over the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) One of the better meetings I've seen at Berwick. More passing than I've seen there for a while and just about the right result. Impressed with Olly after a blank first race, deserved the rider of the night award. He said some kind words about the Berwick set up which was nice. Pie & burger was top notch as usual and Dick Barrie was on fine form, mostly aiming his attention at yours truly. Loved seeing Olly Grenwood take care of Barrett in heat 14. Pontus, Tyson & Bunny attacked the track with some success. Enjoyable "afters" in the Black & Gold until well after midnight. Very nice! Heard some good gossip about a certain northern based rider that was particularly interesting. All adds up Edited September 22, 2013 by Shadders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
