SCB Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 A lot of responsibility as a 2nd heat leader and he usually struggles to cope with that pressure. Is he on a bargain average or is that really his ability these days? Rory copes with pressure just fine. Rory doesn't cope with injury too well and often comes back early and struggles. A 100% fit Rory is as good a number 1 as most EL clubs will see sadly he picks up injuries and rides half the season like a second string too. in that respect he's a bit of a risk but one I'd probably take if I was Eastbourne promoter.

gaptooth Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Eastbourne are handing the rest of the team places to the first 5 season ticket applicants. In return for riding for the team the 5 lucky people will get a free programme and 50% reduction on the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josietoms Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'd be shocked if Rory went to eastbourne. It will be the same sh*t as this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaptooth Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Optimism MrB. Not a word usually associated with Eastbourne. But you're no doubt right. Better take the 2 drafts then and hope there are 3 fools er I mean supporters that buy season tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Schlein is being linked with a good few teams - given that KL only "bought him" last year, I'd be surprised if they wanted him to ride elsewhere - but stranger things have happened *cough* Miedzinski *cough* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Pedersen Michelsen Schlein or Doyle Gustafsson & Woodward wouldn't be a disaster, would it? Being an asset, I guess it'll be Kylmakorpi at 3 though. Edited November 30, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disaster.. probably not... good enough to win the league... probably not but I guess our team is already decided judging by the noises being made so no point saying who the fans would like.

Crazy robin Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm hoping he's at Swindon given we did a swap deal for (not so) Magic Don't think Jason will be at Swindon now in 2014 as for whatever reason he wants away & that's thrown Swindon's plans in the air.

MrB Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Blackbird was 4th rated on the first picks list no idea about Halsey but didn't he used to do second halves at Arlo a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinuteWarning Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think Blackbird, who is 26, could be an excellent signing. Averaging around 10 in the NL for Dudley, and a 6 average in 7 matches for Scunthorpe in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Blackbird was top dog for Dudley and they didn't do too bad last season did they?? Home track Wolverhampton, so should be able to turn the bike left quickly. Halsey rode for Mildenhall which is another small track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Mildenhall doesn't ride anything like Eastbourne , totally different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
