Halifordukesfan Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Compton + Albin would potentially waste 1.23 points available to us Compton + Koppe would potentially waste 1.85 points available to us. Only Newcastle have come close to these figures, having 1.37 unused. All depends on whether Albin or Koppe could improve to make up the shortfall, personally, I'd prefer another fresh face in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go Edberg to get Compton in at reserve then watch us fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILKO Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Andre at reserve would be a great help to young Joe. If he can gate with Andre he will get him home. Any one remember the race when Andre team rode Benji home, one of the slowest of all time but what a team ride. More of this please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one remember the race when Andre team rode Benji home, one of the slowest of all time but what a team ride. More of this please. Yes, it was against Rye House in 2006 and one of the best pieces of team riding I've ever seen at Owlerton. He literally dragged Benji round for the 4 laps in a race time 3-4 seconds slower than his normal times. Chris Neath was behind them and wasn't to impressed after the race. Andre would be an asset anywhere in our team, but even more so if at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is he riding for?He's not shown in any of the line-ups confirmed in Britain, but he could be referring to his Danish team, presume he's riding over there this year?

Cue Ball Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 One off the press releases said that there would be as many as 3 new faces - which we've got - so thnk it's fair to say that it will be Compton and Albin or Koppe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tweet was posted a month ago! If it was to be Simon Nielsen, you'd have a terrific rider that gives no less than 110%. Very courageous, just needs some luck & to stay injury free.

AndyK86 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Facu wants came back to Sheffield.............. think numbers game and better options for a stronger team might work against him which would be a shame as he gave everything last year, but lets see what happens.

Cue Ball Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Seems curious that Koppe has spent the winter in the UK riding in the series at Scunny to then head home in the eve of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdsalBoy Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Where've you heard Albin's not coming back then? I still think it will be one of Albin OR Koppe to return, Albin showed a bit more grit and was very liked by the fans, but we will see what happens, hopefully we will get the team finalised this week. Part of me also finds it hard to believe that Koppe has gone back to Australia after competing over here in the winter. Â Either way this new look lineup has got the excitement going again with the fans, cant wait for March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
