G the Bee Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Well done to the promotion team. Whatever happens over the course of next season, I don't think anyone will be able to take major issue with the way the team has been put together over this winter. Hans is just about the best number 1 we could have realistically signed this winter. Although I do wonder how well he and Havvy will work together? If Twitter comments are to be believed, they don't appear to get on at all. As for the final rider, I would love to see Gustafsson at Brandon on an average of 5.17. However, if that's a no-go I would now be tempted to give it to Summers. It would leave us half a point shy of the limit but his form is good around Brandon. Assuming that the two reserves are on a par with those of other teams, this team should be pretty hard to beat around Brandon at least. I still think the most important signing would be that of Phil Morris as team manager! Luckily I've come up with a plan to make it happen... After all, because we acted so charitably helping Birmingham out with riders last year, and in light of their current much documented problems, I think it's only fair we reach out the hand of friendship once more to our poor relations twenty miles down the M6! To solve their management problem, Havvy could go to Birmingham! Edited November 21, 2013 by G the Bee 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer, nice to at least see one Coventry fan care but I hope Phil can return to the Brummies if there is a change of ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Not if Havvy remains as manager. The two do not get on at all. Looks like someone has kissed and made up then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Could Zengi be heading back to Swindon? Hope not as he's not good enough away from home for me. Oh & good luck to Hans who was the best captain we had by a mile since the great Leigh Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) My god, I was saying to OH only an hour ago that I wouldn't be surprised to see Hans back.. Very happy Bees fan here! PS. No silly "freak" accidents this time please Hans Oh, he needs to be the captain too! Edited November 21, 2013 by Jacques 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 ALLEN, GUSTAFSSON and AUTY seem favourites..One of them rides for a Friday club and anothers average is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Liking the look of the side so far ,Danny king was a bit of a red herring then ,it's even mentioned in the SS again today that the bees were given permission to speak to Danny towards the end of the season and Phil Morris was unaware of it occurring. would like a 5 point newcomer to complete the side any likely Danes or swedes spring to mind.?

Bees_Man Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 A newcomer would give crowd fresh interest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANANAMAN Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Gonna miss Zengi with the bees. Hope to see him back in the future. Really hoping Kozza is our final rider. Will be disappointed if Robson or Allen as Summers better rider Could the Bees fit Kevin Wolbert in , if available ? Often impressive around Brandon .

BluPanther Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 One of them rides for a Friday club and anothers average is too high. Gustafsson 5.17 Allen 5.19 according to the final issue. Is this correct or am I mistaken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 That is correct I wish Allen's was 6.19 though . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I am so, so, SO happy about this. 5.30 for the last rider...I'd be happy with someone like Stead. I am so hyped for 2014 it's unreal. I can already feel that it's gonna be a good year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Looks like someone has kissed and made up then Seems that way! Shocked by the signing I didn't expect it. I wonder who they have in mind for the last spot, Horton sounds serious for 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Now without causing all of Hortons brigade to collapse on the spot, with one for the top 5 still to come I would like to say I think that his team building this year is looking promising and believe that we desperately needed a number one to lead the team and I believe that Hans was as good as we could have expected. If we are to assume that the reserve pairings would be much of a muchness we should be able to mount a challenge next year and I have had no hopes of that with any of the previous teams announced in the last two pre seasons, in fact I thought the last two seasons were over before they had begun. So from me, one of the ridiculously labelled haters Nice one Mick, looking good so far. NIce to have some optimism for the new season for a change. Yay!

speedybee Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It has to be positive, for this year at least. Andersen is hardly a signing for the future, but at least he can lead from the front and be relied on as a no1. Now for that final spot... Gustafsson would be a good choice. Feeling strangely optimistic. Whatever has come over me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a God dont inflict him on us again I beg you. Think I need a lie down lol. Looking decent for us cant see many sides looking better. Michelsen for the final spot?
