thebaron Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Rob dropped a hint that the injuries to Josh and Ben might precipitate team changes. That is not just replacing Ben but maybe also bringing in a new face instead of running guest/rider rep for Josh. I think it would be fair to bring back Ellis Perks for Ben. Ellis looks in great form for National League Cradley and was unlucky to lose his reserve place at Scunny earlier in the season. Personally I am happy for Tommy the Gun to come in where he can for Josh. But if we decided on permanent fix till the end of season for Josh; I am scratching my head a bit. Any thoughts ?

stratton Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Has Josh said the season is definitely over for him? if so how unlucky is that i wondered if he qualified would he try to get back for the PLRC just a thought.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillwhitewasmad Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Bradley Wilson dean and klindt would be my choice or An unknown swede or Dane with the view to running next year we are only racing for pride now so nothing to lose Also got to add even though the results have not been great the racing has been top notch fine line between winning and losing on britans fairest and most exciting track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Would bringing in an unknown be a good idea? Generally you'd say "use them next year on a new better average" but if Scunny bring in a struggler, crowds will drop and there will be no "next year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Would bringing in an unknown be a good idea? Generally you'd say "use them next year on a new better average" but if Scunny bring in a struggler, crowds will drop and there will be no "next year" would using guests instead be any better?? at least it would be a regular rider fans can at least get behind. Looking at new green sheets we have a team total of 40.82 and Josh is now 8.00 and Ben 4.82 so lookslike upto 14.5 for 2 riders. Rob could always go out on a bang and use a 3pt rider and someone upto 11.5!! not that there is any of them but would allow virtually anyone to be signed!! Or in reality BWD on a 5pt would still leave 9.5 so again anyone really but as suggested possibly a raw foreign recruit with a possible eye on next season if we go ahead but again not that there are many of those out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Seems like you have been doing the same maths as me Alex love the idea of getting some one for next year not bothered about gaining an average it's the track time in the UK that's invaluable can't wait for Sunday's next year 6.30 few beers good racing and a winning side.

thebaron Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 What if I threw a couple of names in ? German World Cup youngster Marcel Helfer ? or Nikes compatriot Finn .. Timo Lahti ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Interesting that outsider timo would be good but not a replacement for josh at number one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Actually Timo Lahti is already a Scorpion! He rides for Munkebo Scorpions in the Danish League so theres a bit of symmetary going on with Timo. Also notice that Swede Mathias Thornbloom recent Rye Rockets addition rides for Munkebo Scorps so if I was checking him out (hes made a good start at Rye) then it might bring me round to Timo Lahti. Of course hes an Eastbourne asset I think; but really got to grips with the Elite League. There ample scope to fit a rider in like Lahti and with compatriot Nike already with the Scorps I'm talking myself into this! Also like the look of Marcel Helfer the young German rider. He was trusted with a World Cup spot and was competitive enough. Maybe he would fancy a go with a view to breaking in for 2016. Then again I could be completely wrong and we've signed a Koplonka! Correction Matthias is a Berwick Bandit! Edited August 2, 2015 by the outsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
