mdmc82 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Pass me the book of Phone Numbers and CMA's, and I'll find someone...... Here's the CMA's for you http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/e15_issue_13.pdf You would then have to rule out any rider who rides for Coventry, Leicester, Edinburgh, Redcar, Scunthorpe, Glasgow, Workington, Somerset, SEC or the Danish clubs that were riding last night. Then you would need to rule out the riders already guesting for any of the above clubs already. Just looking at those, who would you have used who would have been stronger than RR? Then take in to consideration any riders who might have non speedway related plans or commitments or maybe just didnt want to race last night. I'm sure Rob tried everything he could to get a guest he thought would be stronger than RR but easier said than done. Unlucky that Barker got injured as he was the guest booked in advance.

Haza Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 In defence of Nicklas, he really is trying, you ought to have seen him riding at Lakeside last night, he was using one of Rory's engines, he couldn't get the set up quite right, it was rearing up, hard to ride but was fast and competitive. The boys from the Hagon Shocks Academy always have a go at Lakeside before the meeting which is great, they are all looking 'right'. why hasn't Porsing after two years with the club got his own engines ? Using Rory's is a joke - times up on him as far as I'm concerned he's the worst number 4 in the league time and time again he goes missing in heat 14 . If the Stars are going to get anything out of this season Porsing has to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnboy Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 If porsing spent the money on his bikes instead getting people to buy him a Mercedes car. The money for the car would of been better spent on getting better equipment !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Stars are going to get anything out of this season Porsing has to go I dunno, perhaps he bought it off Rory ..... maybe it's more getting his set up right, I felt that was the prob last night. We'll see what the management do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the point I was getting at. Of those teams racing last night there were 12 guests used. We had 3 weeks notice from Rory accident ,so should have had it sorted ages ago......

And they did sort it ages ago by booking Barker, however how were they to know that he would then get injured a couple of days before the meeting. I think your being a bit harsh on your promoter/manager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fever Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) iklas actually did ok at Lakeside imo ......... but 2 poor lasts for a "heat-leader" just isnt acceptable... I've always liked KB but I think his time has come :/ So - if Niklas has to be sacrificed to accommodate Mads and/or Woffinden or Ward then we'd be mad not to go for it if at all possible if something is to be salvaged from this season!

semion Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Last season our challenge disappeared on the back of a horrific injury list at the business end of season. No blame for that could be laid at Busters door, as his hands were tied. This season if the season goes ** up then it is very much down to him. Is it Loyalty is it money or just down to no one out there wanting to come. Edited June 21, 2015 by semion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Very much like Milik then (according to certain Poole fans) Not at all like! Milik was with Poole 1 season and Tai spent his EL career with Wolves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 The frustrating part for me is there is zero information coming from the management, be that Buster, Rob or anyone else, about the form of certain riders or the team in general. If they were passionate about the Stars, then you'd think they would have plenty to say. If Rosco had been our team manager I'm sure he'd have plenty to say! What makes this even more odd is this is our 50th Anniversary season and everyone just seems to be going through the motions, no big fanfare or excitement being generated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco is surprisingly quiet with regards to the current gaping hole that is the number 1 slot at Swindon - so I don't think he would do any better for you news wise.

I think Rosco is keeping quiet because it's quite clear that either Zengi or Howarth will have to be sacrificed to get a number 1 in.
