R87 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ditto Woffinden, using the same logic. Using that same logic Andersen will be a reserve ! To be fair Lindgren's average was dropping in 2011, 2012 and 2013 with the older format. It's just dropped more noticeably this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduds1 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Why would another club pay money for Lindgren. Wolverhampton is the only track he can ride reasonably. He very rarely scores double figures on other tracks, it is not only this year in 2013 i'm pretty sure he only scored double figures once ( excluding double point rides ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) There is little interest in assets these days in speedway as riders have proved they can move clubs each season if they wish as it goes to the committee and they won't stop a rider earning a living and approve a loan deal. If you look at Fredrik Lindgren finishing with an average around 6.95 then the need would be for two riders like him or better that can be heat leaders home and away under most formats. Will Hans Andersen fit in at Coventry next season when Garrity is likely to be in the main body of the team along with Bomber ? If he is then Kylmakorpi (Freddie s best friend) would be available also around 7 a meeting average. The same could be said of Bjerre or Schlein at King's Lynn or Magic, Darcy and Holder at Poole or maybe riders that haven't taken part fully in 2015. Linus Sundstrom or Kenni Larsen or Shamek Pawlicki or Peter Kildemand. Maybe Batchelor at Swindon due to the improvement of Nick Morris could be available. Whoever it could be selling assets won't do anything and neither will buying unless it's a British prospect and then an asset may be used as part payment as Coventry did to get Garrity with Kennett going to Rye House.

SCB Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Coventry are nearly 2 points under the limit. I'd imagine if the BSPA force Garrity up into the 1-5 then he'll replace Robbo and Bees will carry on as we are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sweetman Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Would high scoring Brummies rider Zach Wajktnecht be worth investing in for the future,or has he already been linked with another top flight club?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Would high scoring Brummies rider Zach Wajktnecht be worth investing in for the future,or has he already been linked with another top flight club?. Can't answer your question regarding being linked to another club but he looks a great prospect. Saw him at Brandon a couple of weeks ago and he was very impressive!

Garrity may be in their top five next season but this season he will be at reserve till the end Would high scoring Brummies rider Zach Wajktnecht be worth investing in for the future,or has he already been linked with another top flight club?. There are a few good youngsters coming up from the Grasstrack scene and hopefully they will be encouraged to ride in a series of races together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Here we go again with the switch around in riding order as it looks like Jacob could be catching Ricky by the end of the season. With everyone (bar Jacob) having a few poor scores of late, these are the current rolling averages of 20 matches for the team (not the official GSA) . The figure in brackets is their average for all league meetings this season. 6.51 Fredrik Lindgren (6.48) 6.42 Peter Karlsson (6.78) 5.68 Ricky Wells (5.96) 5.66 Jacob Thorssell (5.41) 4.79 Tobiasz Musielak (4.79) 29.06 HOME - AWAY 7.84 - 5.29 - (-2.55) - Fredrik Lindgren 7.39 - 4.79 - (-2.60) - Ricky Wells 6.96 - 6.62 - (-0.34) - Peter Karlsson 6.42 - 4.52 - (-1.90) - Jacob Thorssell 4.38 - 5.18 - (+0.80) - Tobiasz Musielak 32.99 - 26.40 Amazing but even the averages at home are way under the 34.00 limit.

Shale Searcher Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Very convenient time to put out the news of a contract extension. Meanwhile in the same article CVS says:- Of course it was disappointing and, believe me, the management feel that as much as the supporters, he said. I can never remember a night when my heat leaders didnt win a race but that was the case against Coventry. A lot of focus has been on Freddie (Lindgren) and his run of low scores. However, if you ask any of the Coventry heat-leaders Im certain they will tell you they have been through a similar tough run at some stage in the last 12 months. We need to stick together and get behind Freddie and help him through this. Hes as frustrated as the rest of us. The Elite League race format is very demanding and unforgiving, although as a spectator I like it. People say the Elite League is easy, but Im sure Freddie will tell you different! In addition, Jacob (Thorssell) needs to race more regularly, hes been harshly treated in Poland and Sweden and I can confirm he is on the verge of joining a Premier League club. Jacob will remain with Wolverhampton and double-up but we will have priority over his services." So in other words... no changes are going to be made. As poor as Wolves are its highly unlikely they will be finishing below Leicester. . Very convenient time to put out the news of a contract extension.

A ORLOV Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 What average did Tai finish on last season people? 7.03 He was trying to get it below 7 but could not quite manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Interesting to read in Mondays programme that Woffy has been approached by another club without asking permission. The answer naturally is no. I'd say it's likely to be one of the 5 teams in contention for the play offs. As expected Tai has no interest in riding for any other EL team. He was trying to get it below 7 but could not quite manage it. At least he didn't use dodgy engine failures to achieve it tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
