Catch Me If You Can Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 My Scunny friends desperate to keep Pijper. Finished second in their averages and seems was excellent on away trips, holding them together at times. Rode well as guest for Berwick last season and Longtrack aside would do a very good back up job in middle? Some Scunthorpe scores away were impressive including 15 at Rye House, 14 at Newcastle and plenty 8 and 9 away returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Theo Pijper scored well guesting for Berwick at the back end of the season. From memory always puts in a decent performance at Berwick. Would be a good signing IMO. Suppose it all depends where he wants to go. Longtrack commitments could be a problem, look at the number of times Richard Hall was missing this year. What would the facility be if he was missing? Guests? R/R? NL replacement?

Â Pijper will make a consistent and reliable signing no matter who he signs for be it Berwick or somebody else, but Berwick would need to look elsewhere IMO if he continues in the Longtrack GP`s and Longtrack meetings in general, to many missed meetings with the prospect of running with NL guests at some meetings.

topsoil Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Has anybody heard how Claus Vissing is getting on in his recovery? Any idea if he intends to ride again 2016? Wonder if he figures somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) What’s the fitness status of Christian Henry? He has missed a lot of speedway the last few years but he would be a gamble worth taking IMO.  The Pijper/asset/long/short term debate. The idea of assets and long term thinking is wonderful but to have a long term you need a short term. If an assessed average rider isn’t an instant sensation you are carrying them, the team starts dropping points, crowds will tail off, it isn’t a gamble many sides can afford to take, whereas if a rider like Pijper is signed, punches above their weight/perform to average fans will quickly take to them, fans will always like a rider who scores points irrespective of their age or who owns their contract, TJ proved that last season.  I would also question how substantial loan fees currently are, my natural assumption is clubs will be far more understanding when it comes to the terms and conditions of loans (Havelock aside) given the current predicament of the sport.  The asset system in theory is great, but in reality and in the current climate, sign 7 really good riders irrespective of where they are from or who owns them and see where the season takes you, 2014 confirms that.

smod Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Reference loan fees, there is an agreed sliding scale between clubs, depending on the rider's CMA. In short, if you are tracking a rider, you know what you'll have to pay before a deal is done, the parent club has no say in the amount. Unless, like Redcar, they refuse a loan and demand a full transfer. Â Regarding long-tracking, Theo Pijper missed far fewer meetings for Glasgow and Scunthorpe while long-tracking than Richard Hall did while at Berwick. Pijper tends to fly to the long-tracks and will miss practice if he has a UK match, while Hall would go off for days at a time on his continental jaunts.

screm Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 What about  Jorgensen 7.80 Pjiper 6,53 Alden 7.37 Melgren 5.57 Doolan 6.95 ? Carr 3.00  This leaves 5.28 what about a new rider asset like Michal Skurla 5.00 ave  This would leave Melgren & Skurla rolling around each other at No6  Don't think you`ll be to far away with your team, the No6 gap could quite easily be filled by Matt Wethers.
