MrB Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Andersen and Batchelor could become available. This should not be mentioned in an Eastbourne thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky61 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 simon gustaffons average might be handy for next season if he hits form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 simon gustaffons average might be handy for next season if he hits form Simon only hit form for the last few meetings cant afford another season like that personally think we would be better letting him go somewhere else for a season or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky61 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 i know what you mean but its only six and a half points average per rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Big links to Gustaffson and Lahti being on ideal averages for a diluted Elite League in the last programme in Trevor Geers notes , I seem to recall. I think most on the terraces would say its imperative that we keep Mikkelsen he will only get better. Gustaffson and Lahti are on great averages in the new league but how many chances do you want to give somebody. Noted Danny King has handed in a transfer request today , I know Arlington isn't one of his favourite tracks but his away form could help us whilst he gets used to Arlington. I'd prefer a fresh approach with a new no.1 and CJW and Mikkelsen from last season but whether the promotion see that as an option I doubt.

They are on those averages for a reason, personally I think there are better options on those kind of averages and changes are needed if EB are ever going to offer up anything on the road again.Wouldn't mind King, he has local roots and is pretty consistent.

Pirates Of Poole Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 If I was Eastie I would get Mikkel snapped up and fast, on his 5 average he will be a wanted man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Mikkelsen and CJW need to be the first two names signed. With Andersen, Bjerre, Pedersen, Nicholls there are options at number 1 but Agreed Mikkelsen on that average is a must. The other rider to target is Bech who is in talks with an Elite team.

SteveLyric2 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Yes Bech is in talks with an EL team - an EL Wednesday track, as he stated in the press release on www.speedwaygp.com despite the fact he is also captaining his Danish team on selected Wednesdays!

He does not say its a Weds track. Something you know that we don't ? Bech been seen on Matts boat in the harbour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Think its obvious Beck will be at Poole, MF will pay him more than any other club can afford. Hopefully his Danish commitments will prevent that happening however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) So with no Holder at Poole will we be looking for a new number 1? Hopefully we won't make the same old mistake of going with "strength in depth" again and actually sign a decent number 1. (Yes I admit he did a solid job last year but I was talking about who might take on the role) Edited November 20, 2013 by MrB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Boy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 He does not say its a Weds track. Something you know that we don't ? Bech been seen on Matts boat in the harbour ? In the article Bech says the EL track he is considering going to is a "difficult track to ride". Based on the state of the Wimbourne Road track most weeks it is obvious he is talking about joining Poole........ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Poole's track is not difficult, Eastbourne definitely is..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Bech has signed for Lakeside which I think is a great signing for Hammers. The team with the difficult track to ride was Peterborough, with whom he was in talks with. Shame because I think he could of been an excellent signing. Andersen has signed for Coventry so another potential #1 has been signed elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
