stevebrum Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Sorry, they finished 2 behind BV who you claimed had a good season. No team was out of it last year, whatever your mind tells you. The league table suggests thats, Still banging the same drum i see. The aces had a much better season than the past few BY THERE RECENT STANDARDS. The table suggests that the Bees, Aces and Eagles had little chance of making the play offs so 3 teams WERE out of it.

AndyJ Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 On twitter Cook says that the article is incorrect and that he has not signed for either of the 2 clubs. Strange that the Edinburgh local press would publish that and quotes when he has not signed for them. He also said on twitter the other day that it would be a surprise and i wouldn't say that BV would be a surprise. Hmm... (24/11) "Deals with PL and EL done and dusted. Roll on 2014 "any clues" you might be surprised" (26/11) "I have not signed for either 2 clubs as stated by @edinburghsport. I am very angry and disappointed with Mr Kinvig and his false article" Does this means he's changed clubs in both EL and PL. Gutted to see him depart the Aces if that's the case...

Phil The Ace Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Cook will ride for Edinburgh and belle Vue. You have my word. Think the journo jumped the gun a bit to quick and wa suppose to wait a few days before releasing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Does this means he's changed clubs in both EL and PL. Gutted to see him depart the Aces if that's the case...I'd guess it means he'd done both his deals by 24/11, and was ready to sign his contracts - the first being signed in front of the Edinburgh fans this Friday. But now the Edinburgh paper have let the cat out of the bag and spoilt things by revealing the story before the actual signing takes place on Friday.

flagrag Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) It just seems a bit strange that Cook is making a big thing of this and actually saying that he has not signed for BV and Edinburgh. So he will lose face if that is where he is going after all why not just stay quiet on it Edited November 26, 2013 by flagrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't officially signed. He'll be signing his Edinburgh contract on Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Welcome Scott Nicholls. Belle Vue are delighted to announce seven-times British Champion Scott Nicholls as their latest signing for 2014. The Rentruck Aces finalised a deal with the 35-year old earlier this week as team building at the club continues in earnest, with more signings expected to be announced soon. The Ipswich-born rider enjoyed a consistent 2013 campaign with his former club Coventry, racking up double-figure scores on a regular basis, including an impressive 10+2 at Kirkmanshulme Lane earlier on in the year, for a combined seasonal total in excess of 300 points. And he came agonisingly close to a record-breaking 8th title at this years British Final at Wolverhampton, but after an epic last-heat battle it was current World Champion Tai Woffinden who walked away with the spoils, leaving Nicholls to content himself with second. Now the former GB International is eager to don his Belle Vue colours in preparation for what he hopes will be a good season for the Rentruck Aces. He said: When promoters show great enthusiasm to have you at their club, it gives you great confidence in them and a good incentive to be there. The Aces management have been absolutely brilliant and they were so keen to bring me on board at Belle Vue it made my decision very easy. I have spoken with the club on occasion in the past but for one reason or another things havent always worked out. This time around though things have clicked into place very nicely and Im really looking forward to riding for them in the new season. CEO David Gordon was absolutely thrilled to be able to agree terms with Nicholls, who becomes the second British rider to be signed by the club along with Richie Worrall. He said: Were truly excited to have Scott at Belle Vue. His experience, his enthusiasm, and the way he operates in the pits and how he communicates with the team will be both valuable and beneficial. Weve wanted to bring that British element to the club for some time, and were delighted to be in such a position as to have both Scott and Richie, two fabulous British riders, with us in 2014.

Pirates Of Poole Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The team is shaping up well. Will Zagar be back though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The team is shaping up well. Will Zagar be back though?Won't fit now. Adding Zagar to Nicholls, Cook and Worrall would only leave 2.99 for the 5th man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Won't fit now. Adding Zagar to Nicholls, Cook and Worrall would only leave 2.99 for the 5th man. Worrall gets A 2.5% deduction in his starting average. Any Brit in there first 3 years since signing for there first EL/PL get the deduction. Worralls in his 3rd and final year of it So Zagar and a 3 pointer will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.1 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 john it would fit because worrall would get a reduction on his average of 2.5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I thought the reduction had been removed? That means Howarth will also get 2.5% reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I thought the 2.5% discount for Brits had been ruled illegal!! Well done to Scotty though, I'm pleased for him - hope he's not at Number 1!!!! (ps. is it true that BV are going for an all-Brit 1-7??)
