Pretty happy on the whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 young team of racers,well happy will be entertaining to watch and if we stay injury free we could well provide a few surprises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 More bottom 6 that top 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 More bottom 6 that top 6 Â Wouldn't necessarily disagree with that, but it's all about improvement for me and every member is still young enough to improve in my book. 11th last season so top 10 will do me nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Benko wont average 4 next season, never mind improve his average in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king junior Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Benko wont average 4 next season, never mind improve his average in my opinion. Saw him at Sheffield last season. Looked out of his depth amongst a field of mostly national league riders. Perhaps he'll fair better around Plymouth, but he barely looked a 3 point rider to me.

Â When I say improve I'm talking about the team as a whole and that they are all young. From what I have heard and from the scores I've seen, Benko is probably going to struggle to average 3 initially but the hope like with all overseas newbies is that he gets better with time. Fingers crossed! If not I'm sure the promotion will make changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Benko isn't any better than Seargant, & would most probably cost a lot more. Doesn't make sense to me, but its not my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former devil Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Benko isn't any better than Seargant, & would most probably cost a lot more. Doesn't make sense to me, but its not my money. Doesn't make sense to me either. As you said its not your money and neither is it my money but as a fan who has only missed a couple of meetings since Plymouth reopened and have also spent alot of money following them away from home, I would much rather see a young Brit in the team than an untried foreigner on an assessed average. Â I have to be honest though and say I have little knowledge of Benko, so perhaps the "management" have made the right decision and we should reserve judgement until we have seen him ride.

Roger MARTIN Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Doesn't make sence to me to judge any rider before we have seen him ride, to many experts on this site that do that, i would rather give a young British lad a chance, but i will wait and see what Benko can do on the track first, if he's not up to it, he will be sent back to Hungary, if he is good luck to the lad.

EnglishRoundabout Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 In Barker, Davies and Newman, Plymouth have signed a decent solid 'backbone' to their side. The young Dane should also kick on this year. This looks like a promising team to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 A little extra news non team related is that Plymouth have had a variation planning application accepted so we can now host meetings on Bank Holiday Mondays as well as Fridays and Saturdays.

barncooseboy Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The planning variation also allows racenight extension to 9.45 from 9.30, look out for a second half programme and also adds Thursday as an alternative race night BH Mondays will start at 6. Current track work makes it look as if track will be a couple of metres longer going into turn 1 and also turn 3, dogleg between 4 and finish line will be gone, turn 1/2 will be wider by about a metre so expect some more around the outside 'death dives' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
