LisaColette Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 As I've said before if Hansi isnt a heat leader then it is just plain wrong. I also read that Rosco said he was a heat leader weeks ago. Let's be honest - he has been a HL for years and spent most of last season as one - where is the doubt?? I think Rosco said he 'expects' Hans to be one. I expect him to be one too. But people putting doubt in my mind with saying he's going to be second string.

Jacques Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) It's clear that most GP riders no longer want to ride in the UK and its obvious that teams are struggling to attract top riders. I think the signing of Krzysztof Kasprzak could well be a good move for Coventry. KK in 2010 was brilliant for Coventry, not only with his performances, but also with his support and help for other riders in the team, I still de stress myself watching the play off final against Poole, and the interviews with KK show how much he bonded with the team and he clearly enjoyed riding for Coventry. KK had a terrible year in 2015, so I would expect he will be looking to get back to his best and I think if we get behind him we could help him achieve that goal. From a personal note I would much rather see KK at number one than the disappointing and Hans Andersen. I suspect his deal with Poole was done well before the play off's of 2015. I have no doubt that it was! Good riddance AFAIC Edited November 21, 2015 by Jacques 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'm confused on how Coventry have built the side. They now have their 2 heatleader allocation but are left with a space of a 7+ average rider which would be another heatleader. Saying all that, if KK gets going again in 2016 I think the Bees look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Oh dear, you won't be saying that when we struggle to get a riser at 1. 100% cook will be at 1 which don't scare me but we could see Josh as fin signing meaning Worrall replacing zagar :0 Why would you think that ? I made the statement and I stand by my principles. I will support Belle Vue as I have done for the last 53 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Depending on the Bees final rider their 1-5 could be the strongest in the EL, this though at the expense of their very weak reserves and as we all know most matches last season were won at the reserves berth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 KK has been a prolific scorer in leagues over the last decade and yes 2015 was a bad year for him but he stayed in the same hotel as me in Bydgoszcz and before the GP at breakfast I spoke to him about his season and what he put it down to. He explained that upto that meeting he had only done about 30 meetings all season and the season before he had probably done about 100 at the same time of year. This not only gave him little chances to put things right but also knocked his self esteem and he was just waiting for the season to end before getting back to what he was like 12 months earlier. When we spoke about riding in Britain he admitted he not only did he want to ride over here but needed to and he thought it would help him get back to form. You don't become a bad rider over night and KK can be a great signing for Coventry where he has done well in the past. With no Iversen, Janowski and others, there is no reason he can't push towards being the best rider in the so called Elite League next season and will almost certainly start as the second highest rider behind Doyle. With Bomber he should provide a strong partnership and if they finish the team with someone like Jacob Thorssell 6.18 or Josh Grajczonek 6.00 they will have a strong a top five as most ...... but the weakest reserve pairing too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB252 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Buczkowski should be a heat leader but Poole are on the fiddle. Buster has his first rumpus to resolve at BSPA towers apparently. Out of interest, does anyone know who rode the most meetings as a heat leader out of King and Kylmakorpi? Surely only one of them should be on the heat leader list?

tocha Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) And Poole have said Buzz is heatleader.. I thought Buzz was heatleader? Actually they haven't. This is what Matt Ford said: "....I really believe that he will develop into an out and out heat leader which will give us that bit of extra depth to the side and I am surI really believe that he will develop into an out and out heat leader which will give us that bit of extra depth to the side and I am sure the Poole fans will quickly make him feel very much at home.

Pirates Of Poole Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) As far as I am aware Buzz is not on the heatleader list of 24, but until we see the list who knows. I don't remember Matt ever saying he will start as a heatleader. Let's just see who Coventry sign as their last rider!! People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones!

Studland Bee Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Krzysztof Kasprzak and Chris Harris also won the Elite League Pairs in 2010, I think this could be good for both riders as they clearly get on together. Well done Mick & Neil! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is if we sign someone who should be heat leader but isn't i think most Bees fans on here would say so. Like Pawlicki for example. Also I doubt there would be just 24 riders on the list.

The initial report on the Poole website stated Buzz was to be a second string. Within 24 hours this was changed to heatleader. It was further amended to read "with the rules on heat leader criteria having been ironed out during Conference I felt that now was the time to make the move for him as in my mind he ticks all the boxes." No mention anymore of him being a heatleader! Make of that what you will? . Edited November 21, 2015 by The Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware Buzz is not on the heatleader list of 24, The list of 24 heat leaders also states that new riders will be added to the list if bought in like Buczkowski who like King has a 6.48 average and often rode at #5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
