Brooksy Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Well it doesn't really matter when exactly teams announce their teams, e.g. it could be February, but if all other teams announce early as seems to have happened this year, then it somewhat frustrating that your own team don't. I always thought I was a patient man but the Rebels are trying me this year. Not too worried though but I just want to know. Â But it's more fun to speculate what the line-up might be, and then adapt your predictions as riders are ruled out. Much more interesting than having your 1 to 7 named in early November - then all you can do is twiddle your thumbs 'til March. Now that would test my patience! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 your just being greedy, need to chill out, it's fairly obvious what your team will roughly look like because there will be no Kurtz... How can I be accused of being greedy. Other clubs supporters have been fed with at least three riders while we are starving on zero! From what we know neither Brady or Richie are back next year so I disagree with the "roughly" bit too. Knowing those two aren't back next year makes it less "obvious". Add our NL 3 pointer to the list and that makes roughly half a team change. The trouble with not having any announcements is that we are slowly getting to know by elimination unless the management have a big surprise for us. Yet again, by elimination we know the surprise(s) will likely be from a list of Holder, Howarth and Tungate for a heat leaders. We are uncertain about our no. 1 too! Â Actually after all my ranting I'm not too concerned as I have the faith that the management will put together another competitive team as they have for some years now. I'm just enjoying the banter. Fills in the wait for the new season. Roll on March. Oh and a Merry Christmas to all fellow speedway supporters too (as there is less than a month to the day to go).
