Game On Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 As I said if we dont sign a 9pt man we wont sign Barker which is what fans (bizarrely) are preaching. We won't sign a 9 pointer, which means a team of average riders such as DK Jk etc. As much as I don't like Hans we were stuffed as soon as he left.

Don't think we can have more than 3 double uppers so if we sign Garrity, King wont be here next season.

mdmc82 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Dinner and dance thingy Saturday, maybe some new signings will be announced. Or those attending could ask about the riders they're looking at? Horton and Havvy always say they want an out and out no.1 Can only hope this year we get one! Harris seems to think Coventry haven't signed anybody yet and they haven't been in contact with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Not sure who would replace him if he didn't sign. He was asked the question before the AGM. He will sign especially as he has a testimonial at Brandon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Harris seems to think Coventry haven't signed anybody yet and they haven't been in contact with him.You would be screwed if you lost Bomber. Barker would be good as a 2nd string rider. Lets not forget he is more than capable of getting a 6.5 average and he would start at around 4.8. We could get close to the limit with this side, Doyle Barker Larsen Garrity Harris Sarjeant Bates I think that team looks ok, I know people dont like Barker (I'm not a fan of him as a person) but he can stick 1.5 on his average. Plus we get 3 heatleaders. Cant see us signing Barker unless we sign Doyle or someone a 9pt average as we'd be quite below the limit. Shouldn't include Doyle, you will get SCB's hopes up!!

TesarRacing Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Supporters are saying they want an out & out No1 in the team. A strong top 5 that will compete with the best in 2016. I agree with all those comments in what may be the last season at Brandon so at least they can go out with a bang. However, supporters have got to get behind the team and turn out rather than moaning that they are not going to bother turning up. Regarding Sarj, he did have a poor 2nd half of the EL season but I saw him riding for Glasgow in the PL play off's and he was sensational so if he can bring that sort of form to the EL he will be a top reserve. I hope so as I really like the lad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so as I really like the lad. I agree, nothing would give me greater pleasure in 2016 than to see Garrity make it as solid second string and Sarjeant step up to be a high scoring number 6. Let's hope he gives Nigel and Kelvin something else to talk about rather than his false starts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Jason Doyle must be rubbing his hands together as every team want him so he can name his price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Jason Doyle must be rubbing his hands together as every team want him so he can name his price. Which is how it should be as the guy top of the averages really. But it also shows the points limit is too high if every team can fit in the guy top of the averages without too much effort!

SteveLyric2 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Jason Doyle must be rubbing his hands together as every team want him so he can name his price. And only the 'midweek' teams have any chance of getting him - subject to fitness and whether Leicester run on an off-night for him in GP weeks and make him a real offer he couldn't refuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 All the time he's a Swindon asset & whilst I know that doesn't mean anything it's a kick in the nuts for us fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
