E I Addio Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 So no Hans and no AJ. I hope the club have a nice surprise for us! Kenny Bjerre according to to the account that's going round . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Would you be expecting to start the season with Bomber at No1 ? It's not ideal having Bomber go out in Heat 1 and I do think team managers should be allowed to chose whether their number 1 rides at 1, 3 or 5 like they used to be able to. But, realistically, not many available riders have a higher average. If the rules stay the same, we'll have to go with it I suppose. If it's a choice between that and letting Bomber go, then it's no contest. Bees without Bomber for their last season at Brandon is unthinkable. People knock him but he's been the finest servant to our club of the modern era. After his last season at Peterborough I think Larsen's average is around 7.2. I forgot about Peterborough. I'd still sign him on that though. Go with Harris, Larsen and Garrity and build from there. Harris - 7.34 Larsen - 7.26 King - 6.48 Garrity - 5 (ish) = 26.08 14.42 points for last 3 riders. Still think Garrity is good value on a 5. If we can get Sarj on a 3, that means we have about 11 and a bit points for the final 2 riders. Bjerre would be great on 5.87. Leaves 5 and a half for the last rider. Go for Peter Karlsson! Edited October 20, 2015 by G the Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if those two wanted to ride for Coventry anyway! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Be financial disaster in PL. Bees supporters won't support anything other than EL, look at the gates for the Storm as they're shocking!

Bees_Man Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Getting worried about the possible state of next seasons team. Waiting and hoping for the promotion to prove us wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinMills Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 think lots of teams in same boat, beesman..looking forward to my final visits to the wonderful stadium next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Pointless worrying about it, we know who will win it anyway. We just don't know who the lucky team that gets to lose in the final is yet. I'd rather fold now and demolish the stadium with my bare hands than sign Bjerre. Would rather watch a Storm rider wobbling around but putting the effort in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yes think Bjerre and Batchelor being signed would make the 2015 season my last. Couldn't stand that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 All I can say is that I would have been disappointed if Hans Andersen had been in the team next year 'false' average or not. He really was dire this year and his poor form really messed up the balance of our team. The fact is, there are few false averages. Hans is a 6-7 point rider now. At least at Coventry he is. He's been on the slide since he first left Coventry at the end of 2008 when he was a genuine world-class heatleader. A move to another club might rejuvenate him (I suspect it won't) but if all Coventry were going to get was more of the same then, to be honest, it's a case of 'Close the door on your way out, Hans'. The only 2 of last year's team I would definitely want back are Harris and Garrity. Otherwise, we need to shake the whole team up. I'd like to see Doyle if he wants away from Leicester. Suspect he's earmarked for elsewhere though. I'd certainly be happy to see Larsen back. He's on 6.57 I believe, which is only 0.12 higher than Andersen and certainly at Brandon I think would be worth more to the team in terms of points that Hans was this year. To be honest, assuming we retain Bomber and Jason, he'd be the first name on my shopping list. Doyle and Larsen, remember we shop at Aldi not Waitrose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Doyle and Larsen, remember we shop at Aldi not Waitrose So does 6 of the other teams. Edited October 20, 2015 by woz01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 A little shocked Poole signed him, thought they would go down a new foreigner route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 A little shocked Poole signed him, thought they would go down a new foreigner route. So did I esp after Hans had such a bad season. There is no guarantee that he will be any better next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee 26 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Was probably keeping his average down this year, his form has dipped over the last few seasons but I'm sure he'll ride better down at Poole! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
