I can't see wholesale changes- Only 2 or 3 changes needed, Its just consistency that needs to be improved. KK and King have had good seasons, Harris has been ok but not being in gp's will be so good for him next year. Garrity has never really got going, looked injured then got injured, came back well for 3 weeks and then got injured. next year I guess like with what Gemini said.. he will get injured. Bates, Woryna and Sarj have on certain occasions done ok, others have been totally out of there depth. out of the 3 I think Bates should be back.

 

KK- Yes (if Poole don't have him)

Garrity-Yes

King-Yes

Woryna ?

Harris -Yes

Bates-Yes

Sarj ?

Think we need a consistent heat header. Can't see the pole being back, didn't do a lot to think he's worth a place.

 

Let's not forget we came nearly bottom, so I think we need so big changes.

Oh dear that's a shame but with his style of riding he seems very injury prone. :neutral:

Got it in one. An injury on a bike. It might look exciting seeing him pull all these weird moves but that is not the way to do it. Its just asking for a crash or injury.

 

Unless he sorts out his riding style, just like Bridger, he will only go so far. And personally I think he has got as far as he is going to go unless he learns to ride a bike correctly.

I'd keep these four. Danny, Chris, Josh and Jason ~ with fingers crossed he has an injury free season. No Woryna or Sarjeant and it's pretty obvious KK will choose Poole over Coventry.

Kyle Newman has looked out of control at times in his last few meetings as well Steve & guess that's also why he has been injured so much over the years?.

Hoping KK wants to stay here. Would like us to try and get Fricke somehow

I think someone has said Fricke wants too much money. :neutral:

If rumours are true then he's not getting paid at Belle Vue at the moment anyway due to financial problems. Fricke is in the pits at Brandon will the Coventry team at most meetings this season so has a good relationship with us.

 

As for Coventry owing riders money, don't you think Hans & JK would have been the first to come out and say so if that was the case? Hans was always very vocal about what Swindon owed him. The fact Larsen posted about £2000 that he thinks Coventry owe him from 4years ago and then deleted it straight away is odd.

I think it best to pay no need to rumours especially those that circulate on here and repeating them without knowing if they are true risks giving them credibility to some and doing harm to the clubs mentioned and the sport in general. It is beyond my comprehension why people who claim to be speedway supporters would want to do that. Over the years I have heard many rumours about problems at different clubs, some have turned out to be true, some haven't but I have never thought it right or, that it would benefit the sport, to comment openly on what quite often turned out to be baseless gossip.

 

As for Fricke, he lives with his mechanic close to Brandon, which explains his visits to Coventry when he is not engaged elsewhere. As for next year who knows. I hope we keep him, he is an undoubted talent but we need to look elsewhere if there are going to be as many clashes with his foreign commitments.

Probably best to not take as gospel 'what people have said'.

Could not agree with you more . The only thing that seems certain is that Hans will be at Poole & Doyle will be at Swindon as they have got written contracts . The things " people have said " include at set race day which included a day when greyhounds is raced at one of the stadiums , Lions & Stars dropping down & Glasgow coming up , the list goes on !! , its just rumour ..At this moment in time there are possibly only a couple of promoters who have any idea of next years team & what the points limit could be .

we need a number 1 if KK isn't back that could ride with Garrity. It's not like KK and JG were poetry in motion, more watching each other than the opposition at times.

Is there anyone? :lol:

 

 

 

.......lisa-collette........Too much money according to Horton?? Which means prob what he is worth! Poor Max BV who people have said have financial worries or Coventry who a rider has supposedly said may or may not owe him money. What a choice!

Nothing wrong in keeping a check on the finances to ensure the club can continue each season. Unfortunately we don't have a millionaire promoter any more as he got hounded out.
