Konopka Dropped By Bears


Recommended Posts

How will he find a team place if he doesn't have two good standard bikes and money to fix them?

True...I remember him doing great at Newcastle, I think he got injured (?) and was never the same afterwards.

Yeah I'm sure he got to #1 for us was scoring quite well but then didn't he break bones in his hand or something on one of them punching machines the pubs have? Or at least think that was the rumour at the time. Don't think he's ever been the same since he done his shoulder while riding for Belle Vue? Although constantly turning up on sub standard machinery won't do any good either

It wouldn't be the first time at Redcar, that once a match was lost, that riders used in heat 15 were of the cheaper option. I am not saying that is the case here though, I know Lasse has machinery issues.

Oh right I see but if your earning more points money you have more to spend on bikes etc? Anyway with the rumoured new signing and Roynon dropping to reserve has to make you stronger?

There's no denying he's an absolute dud, but watching Compton each week has become more than painful. At least Konopka is averaging 3.00 (ish) I believe.

Why not bring back Tom Perry? Ok he wasn't a World beater first time around but it has taken Paul Starke a while to get anywhere. Or James Shanes as he's relatively local too I believe?

Tom Perry has gone backwards since he got dropped by us, and still can't gate at all - so has no hope of ever becoming a half decent rider.

 

That said, again, on the flip side anybody would struggle to do worse than Compton.

Benji's been around a few year and has not improved, he must love it cos he can't be making any money. That said, I don't know if he has a job. It,s a fact that anyone would seem to be a better signing.

I wonder if we are waiting for Dilger to become available again...

Changes afoot by Redcar with Konopka telling facebook he is dropped, personally I would have let Morley go as he is awful - but hey ho.

 

Seems like a Dane according to rumours - so looking around seemingly it could be Jonas B Andersen, Patrick Tarp or Claes Nedermaerk...

 

Yes I was sort of right! First time for everything!

Why do PL clubs continue to give team places to guff like Konopka? The league is awash with 3rd rate foreigners.
