SCB Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 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.

Phil The Ace Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited November 30, 2013 by Phil The Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 This Team will NOT finish bottom. Unless, of course, injuries intervene. I am more than happy with the 'Aces' so far. I didn't say bottom, I said bottom half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 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.

T.N.T. Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 No, he's staying. Andersen and Havelock? Havelock has accused Andersen of depriving Rico's kids of a World Cip winners medal to remember their father by. And now he is going to manage him?

B.V 72 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

B.V 72 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
