barncooseboy Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 a spectacular east european rider is on standby as a short term replacement in case Alex /Plymouths visa problems arent sorted in time. Seems ironic that the counties citizens who were required to jump through hoops to get into UK can now walk straight in and our commonwealth ftiends who fought alongside us against those former eastern foes have barriers erected against them. Just goes to prove that ALL politicians are look after number 1 must get re elected to keep my nose in the trough opportunists. what help have Plymouth had from Gary Streeter who is now on the Parliamentary speedway committee, could this be the same Gary Streeter who objected to thr track opening in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpointfanatic22 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Sam Simota will be the temporary replacement for Alex Davies. I sincerely hope that's not true, he's dreadful! Was awful for Panthers about 7 years ago & suffered a serious injury. Anybody know what his form has been like recently ? Only rode in Czech Republic last couple of seasons on the whole - Bar a couple individuals / pairs meetings. Form on the whole is no better than Stichauer's. Have a look here... http://speedwayresults.com/rider.php?name=Zdenek&surname=Simota&season=2013 Edited March 16, 2014 by Mikeyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncooseboy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Sam has also been riding in Poland at times and WANTS to ride for Plymouth unfortunately a long list of no's were worked through first two South American/Italians who both now have jobs that prevent them riding on weekdays, a former PLRC who is staying retired a dane who has to ffinish his apprenticeship (One for next year) a swede who requires weekly flights over and back plus every bit of kit supplied at this end, It aint easy out there. Sam had previously been in contact, knows it is projected to be short term and said YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam had previously been in contact, knows it is projected to be short term and said YES. Just because he wants to ride for Plymouth doesn't mean he should. We will of course be short of options due to the timescale but would R/R not be better as Barker and Jensen could have an extra ride, given it will only be short term? I know we all want to see 7 riders in a team but I'm not sure about Simota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Surely sanchez has retired he hasnt rode for 12months in this country or is it that no-one wants him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncooseboy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Emiliano is working for an engineering company in Hull, one of their projects is a new silencer for speedway He is also lacking bikes, just one and that lacks a carrb. IF he was going to ride for anybody it would be Plymouth Rider replacement is not available for a rider who has never ridden for the team to prevent what happeneed a few years ago with a team using r/r the whole season for someone who Never started a single heat for them. If a national league guest was used it costs an automatic £600 fine per meeting. last season Plymouth used a NL guest at a meeting they WON and were still fined for being understrength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Roland Benko isnt quite the dud that some experts on here are predicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 We were fined £600 for Lindgren being missing from a rearranged to suit TV meeting at Bewick, which we then proceed to win. Took the rearrangement, understanding that their Swede would equal our Swede, Wrong. Seeing as it was Sky who picked the date (therefore knowing, when told, that Ludde would be missing), they, I would hope, would pay the fine.
