CardinalSin Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Don't know where this Kennett to Ipswich story came from. A vivid imagination I'd sayRoland seems convinced and to be fair he's not one known for a wind up. We'll soon find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I wouldn't expect any major team news before 6th November. Seems most of this years team won't be returning next year so it would make it a bit awkward to confirm axed riders before the end of season thingy.

Shadders Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Roland seems convinced and to be fair he's not one known for a wind up. We'll soon find out. Kennett was pretty hacked off having to carry the team for most of the season. I Wouldn't blame him if he wanted a move, but now the new promoters are fully in charge he may want to see what their team building plans are. At the end of season meeting, after collecting his Mr Rocket award, he said he wanted to return Edited October 22, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Kennett would be the first Rocket signed up wouldn't you? Most like to get their number one's done first so I'm sure this rumour will be put to bed pretty quickly.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have no idea about whether his retirement was really final or indeed if too many bridges have been burned but with the new No7 regulation does Ritchie Hawkins with an average of just 3.56 become a more attractive option. He surely would improve on that in the circumstances and would mean the top 5 can be built with a strong spearhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Very attractive average Bruv, but after the way JL spoke in particular after he left, can't see him returning even if Phil Hilton didn't continue his managerial role.

mickthemuppet Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Don't know where this Kennett to Ipswich story came from. A vivid imagination I'd say What would the point of having Danny King and Eddie Kennett in the same team. How many matches would they miss in a season with them both being in the Elite League.

How many matches would they miss in a season with them both being in the Elite League. Is Kennett not an asset of Rye House? If so, and the criteria remains same, then PL team would have priority in fixtures so he wouldn't miss any matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewitched Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 does anyone know what averages americans come over on? broc nicol will be riding in the uk next season.dont know about max.maybe 1 or both could be worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Here's a thought.......MX riders can make the conversion to speedway, previously both Louis's and Tatum for starters. More recently Cook and the Worralls have done well. In fairness, none of the above were superstars in the former discipline, so what would happen IF somebody could get somebody with even more talent to jump ship.......no previous so presumably comes in on 3? (Just killing a few moments waiting for proceedings to kick from down under) Have a nice weekend everybody, can't see past a Bomber win today!!

Badge Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 CL was on radio on Friday. Hopes to announce a rider or two in next couple of weeks. He said fans probably know he wants to build a team around Danny and Nico so expect those will be first names. Can't do 1 league North and South as too many double uppers ie not enough riders and not ready yet for elite League for witches,happy in competitive PL. If you want to listen bbcradiosuffolk Stephen Foster 23/10/15 1.36 into his programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting snippet at the end there regarding the home straight stand which is set to be pulled down and rebuilt during the winter of 2016. Fair play to the stadium owners (whoever they are these days) who are turning Foxhall in to a magnificent venue. On the team front, sounds almost certain that King and Covatti will be the first two announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not liking the fact King and Covatti, as want King but great too see another stadium being developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Let's hope Danny races for not a Friday team in the elite league, we don't want him missing many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The "rules" did previously state a rider with an Elite league average of over 6 could only ride in the Premier League for 2 seasons, I suppose we'll find out soon enough as to whether Dannys half season in 2014 counts. If it does we'll be looking for a new no1, if not I'm sure he's nailed on to be a Witch. Of course we still have the 2nd half of the agm on Nov 3rd to screw things up as they usually do!

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The 2 year rule was only brought in last year and not back dated so 2014 not part of it. Danny is able d/u next year without a problem. Of course if it suits then at the agm at the end of 2016 the rule will just be dropped for 2017!!
