BEND ONE FAN Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 There been much better speedway since M,Bowden left. Plus it looks like a speedway track now. Still things to do before the start of the season,but I'm quite sure it will be up and running on time. First 4 riders are looking good. With the talk about who is coming could make us a team to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Rasmus is a great signing and one that we have all been hoping for. If nothing else it proves that the Devils promotion is not going to build a team with every expense spared and fair play to it for that. It would have been soooo easy to say 'we've signed Ben Barker so the rest of the team must be a bargain basement offering'. Two decent reserves (with 8:36 to play with) and this might just be a team to watch ...... It won't necessarily be an edifying sight, but the Ancient Mariner is already getting a bit excited over the Devil's prospects for next season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 1. Ben Barker 9.44 - Great British international, huge point scorer, entertaining2. Roland Benko 5.00 - Young talent, loads of potential3. Alex Davies 7.38 - Good middle order man should do well4. Kyle Newman 5.32 - Putting him at 4 will either progress his undoubted talent or he will stay about the same5. Rasmus Jensen 7.00 - Miles better than a seven point average will increase by about 1 if he has a good season6. YOUNG BRITISH NL RIDER 3.00 - Bring on the young British talent 7. Lewis Blackbird 4.93 - Great rider IMO but unsure weather or not he would go to Plymouth. Â Greenwood? Williamson? Reade? or would James Holder fit.

I think we seem to be after Katajisto on 4.92 however! Â Rasmus needs one more away meeting to get an average which is likely to be around 6.2ish dependent on the away meet he rides. With that in mind we could sign a 3 pointer from our NL team for the first couple of meetings (Reade is a good shout) and then look to strengthen if he doesn't hit the ground running with the spare points that Rasmus will free up.

TheScotsman Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Katajisto on. 4.92 is a steal. Wish Edinburgh had taken him back. He just needs a minder. A good 6-7 point average this season if his head is screwed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would be delighted were he signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinionated Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Oh dear MikeyT. Bit touchy aren't we? Â My comments about Alex and his permit were first posted on the Plymouth forum. You made absolutely no comment about it on there. Â I make a reference on here and you go off on one. Â The article does make reference to a potential problem and even alludes to the cases of Campton and Masters. Â Why shouldn't we believe the reporter, as the comments supposedly come from Team Manager Trigger? Â Oh, but of course, you already know that don't you? Seeing's as YOU wrote the article for the website!! Â Ok, in future I wont read anything you write on here or there, because as you say just because its in black and white doesn't mean its true. Â Or do you always write a load of b******s? Â Happy Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The comments about them needing work permits were not what I responded to - It was your persistent barracking of the promotion. Â The work permit issue is a fact that can't really be argued so why would I argue that? I didn't! The only reason I even responded to your post was because quite frankly your constant abuse at the promotion and management is in many cases unjust? Â You love to come on here and go off about replacing people here and there but never seem to offer much else, how about you offer something a little constructive for a change? Â I wish I was in the position to write that kind of stuff, sadly yet again your WRONG with your accusations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm sure it would improve even more if you' ignored' everyone who didn't share the same views as you!  Actually no. There are plenty of contributors to the BSF whose opinions I do not share, although this does not prevent me from gaining considerable enjoyment from reading their views and the discussions surrounding them. Equally, I’m sure that there are many who have considered my own contributions on various matters as stupid, pointless or both and nor would I blame them – it is, after all entirely their privilege.  However, in my opinion the contributor in question has an agenda and has repeatedly and frequently made what in my view amounts to highly critical, personal and derogatory posts on both this and the Plymouth forums against riders, the promotion and various other associated individuals. In this respect at least he is scrupulously fair and insults everyone in equal measure. It has become evident to me that he and I have directly opposing and irreconcilable views and to that end I have placed him on my ‘Ignore’ list. Indeed, I informed the gentleman concerned of my intention immediately prior to doing so.  You will be, I am sure, delighted to learn that you have not joined him on the list. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
