TesarRacing Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Kenneth as also signed for a club in 2014 already He flies round Brandon so no surprise if he will be coventrys first signing for 2014 Surely no EL team will have made any signings prior to the AGM, will they?

Bee 26 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Rumours about Hansen seem to be floating about, how come no other club have tried to sign him over the years or is he only good around Brandon? I do recall him cleaning up at Brandon when he rode for Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADGER69 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Start by getting rid of Horton and his cronies. Then start with the team and manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hansen got 14+1 from 7 rides, and 9 points from 3 rides in 09 for the Panthers against the Bees at Brandon, Kenneth was extremely quick, and can ride the smaller tracks very well. A solid rider, not spectacular, but you know what your getting. Be a decent signing for any club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*JJ Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Rumours about Hansen seem to be floating about, how come no other club have tried to sign him over the years or is he only good around Brandon? Probably after he reneged on a deal with Birmingham a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john birch Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Think it can be said Havvy hasn`t motivated the team especially the number one, even on the track walks the team walked in split directions Poles one way, english speaking the other, Don`t think Havvy will be back next season he`ll fit in better at Poole. No surprise there, ask anyone who works with large numbers of them. As regards next year (if the league standard remains similar) I'd try AJ for no.1 if he isn't be in the Gp, Shamek or Larsen and Harris. Absolutely no way should we sign Sundstrom. No real progress at Peterboro - remember they were bottom when he was in the team and zoomed up the table after he got injured. Has found his level a bit like Kennett. You've already got a home track specialist if you include Zengota. And no Roynon, it was questionable to include him this year after two serious injuries in 2012 and after another two this year it would make even less sense. The only caveat to that would be if his average particularly fits a league pitched at Pl+ level. But in that case i'd like Fisher and Barker. But of course Fisher was involved in that crash with Havvy a few years back. Edited September 23, 2013 by tiberon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john birch Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 we don't want Barker back And along with Kildemand, Harris, Morris and Andersen all Rosco era riders (+Smolinski) who have just scored about FORTY points between them and made their teams favourite to make the play off final. If only we could have a new owner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedybee Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Paid 61 tonight from either Bees assets or riders who have passed through our ranks in the Rosco era .. Hans Andersen - 2, 2', 3, 0, 3 = 10+1 Edward Kennett - 1', 3, 3, 1 = 8+1 Peter Kildemand - 3, 2, 1, 2 = 8 Nick Morris - 2', 1', 3, FX = 6+2 Martin Smolinski - 2', 1', X, 0 = 3+2 Ben Barker - 2, 3, 1, 3 = 9 Chris Harris - 3, 3, 3, 2, X = 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john birch Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I admit that i'm not a fan of Mick Horton's ownership. I also accept though that it's not my money keeping the team in business. Now if as I said earlier we are heading for a PL 1 type league I can understand why Robson and Allen were used this year and Roynon persevered with. And if this sort of league doesn't include many of today's heat leaders I can understand why we might look at guys like Kenneth Hansen. But if the league continues at a similar standard it's incomprehensible that we would sign a journeyman like Hansen. Look at the teams he's ridden for - Malmo and Krakow - hardly giants of European speedway and not signed by anyone here since 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) I think we need to be realistic about the riders Coventry and most other clubs are likely to sign for 2014. I wouldnt be at all surprised if Poole didnt have Holder and Ward Edited September 24, 2013 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naffer Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hans was he did the press day and then injured himself I don't think he rode a league match for us that season. Think smolinski was in hibernation when rosco was in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hans definitely rode 1 meeting for the Bees under Rosco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedybee Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 are you sure Andersen / Smolinski were Rosco era and Harris was signed in 2004 I think Kennett was there before Rosco I'm sure you will put me right Andersen was signed by Rosco after the winter of discontent, though he'd ridden a few meetings before in 08 I think. The point I was trying to make was that they're all either assets or have ridden in recent seasons for Coventry and any/most of that septet would have given Bees fans something to cheer about this year, if not more success, and it pains a little to see them getting other teams into the play off finals.
