Aces 2014


Recommended Posts

Nobody has the slightest idea how any team will do as nobody knows what reserves they'll have. Bear in mind the reserves will meet each other 6 times out of 8 if you have a good pair there a chance to take 10 points off the opposition, thats a 20 point swing. You can have the best EL team (top 5) by some margin but a stupid quirk of the drafts could see you rooted to the bottom unable to do anything about it.

So with 3 riders announced

 

Cook

Nicholls

Worrall

 

1 rider to hopefully be announced next week in Zagar

 

A 3 pointer needed. Manzares for me please

 

Now the reserves. It's the pick on Tuesday and we get 2nd pick probably meaning we loose out on Jason garrity. I know Jason wants to ride for us but they have all signed a contract saying they have to ride for which ever club picks them. Meaning we will loose out in garrity which is a shame. But will rider power intervein. Big day for the BSPA this. If the draft doesn't go to plan it is going to continue on the 10th of December so we may not find out next week although how hard can it be allocating riders in 1 day.

 

So if we loose out on garrity then who's left and which way do you go.

 

Do you pick a worse 1st pick to get a better second pick meaning you have two average riders or go for another big hitter and get a worse second pick????

 

If we can have garrity then we will have last 2nd pick most likely. Or one of them. This is ok though as I'm sure garrity will score us at least 7-10 points a meeting. Meaning the other reserve only has to score a few points.

 

What I want to know is which way do you want us to go?

 

I'll go with us getting Lewis blackbird and a rubbish 2nd pick. Probably Ben Hopwood because he's local

 

But then something like Paul starke/joe Jacobs and ste worrall sounds good doesn't it

 

 

But as I say if rider power gets there way out picks will be

 

Jason Garrity

Stevie Worrall

 

Now that would be best reserve pairing as well as one of the best if not best top 4 in the league.

 

What a team we could have.

I didn't say bottom, I said bottom half

TBF its BV so you always fancy there is a good chance of that but ignoring my comment above about reserves, BVs top 5 looks like it might just be pretty damn impressive for once so all being equal in reserve they actually a good bet for the title ATM.

there will be know rider power Garrity didn't want to ride for you a couple of seasons ago so why would he want to ride for you now . They have signed an agreement they will ride where they are put

I agree with you I like Joe but if you want to be serious about winning the league you would have to pick Garrity

Excatly. Why I expect you to take garrity. Hope u don't. But u should. If you don't. Questions have to be asked of havvy the BSPA and belle vue

7.40 Craig Cook

7.19 Scott Nicholls

5.78 Richie Worrall

 

20.37 used leaving 11.63 for the last two which rules out Matej Zagar 8.64 so they will be looking for a different line up and look like having Craig Cook as the #1 for Belle Vue and Edinburgh !!

 

 

With Workington signing both Ricky Wells and Ashley Morris, it's unlikely Wolves will be using Ricky and as he is based in West Derbyshire near the Staffordshire border, it would be a decent signing to get Ricky on board as he usually goes well at Kirky Lane and at 5.35 would leave just enough for Patrik Hougaard 6.19 to return to form a solid top five.

 

Coventry may get Garrity ahead of Belle Vue but maybe that would enable them to sign Lewis Blackbird to follow in his fathers foot steps as an Aces rider ?

 

Have to say well done to Aces for not sitting around and seeing who is left this time around and could have the fullteam announced before Christmas.

Think you will find worrall will be 5.64 after his 2.5% reduction meaning Zagar will be signed sealed and released next week with probably manzares as the 5th rider

Heard that Howarth is not going to ride for Poole(to far to travel every week) so could Belle vue go all English.It seems to be a major part of their team building plans so far.

King 7 46

Worrall 5 64

Nicholls 7 19

Howarth 4 28

Cook 7 40

31 93

Just a thought you never know.

I can see a hastily written change to the rules there to scupper our team plans again.

 

It would have been better to throw a smoke screen down and say we've signed Zorro and Dryml as things would have stayed the same. As soon as the potential team was seen, the addition of ex mascot and local boy Garrity wasn't going to happen. It's shame that by backtracking to stop us and thereby losing the local initiative we will see lads up and down the country putting in extra time and mileage for "home" meetings.

Great shame.

He can't rid for us. Your only allowed 2 D/Us I. The 1-5. He signed for Workington and we already have cook and worrall doubling up

 

Zagar

Cook

Nicholls

Worrall

Manzares

 

Will most likely be our 1-4. That's 5 English riders which is good going

TBH these young drivers won't be bothered about miles as they will be just happy to be riding in the EL

Thanks for pointing that out Phil are you sure that Manzares can come in on a 3 with him being an American thought it would be higher(hope I am wrong again)

I thought the same so I checked last years rule book and it does state that all commonwealth and American riders come into the EL on a 3 average and PL on a 5
