Grachan Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Strange to see a new signing appear on the BSPA website but not announced by the club. I can only think they wanted to keep everything about the Sprockets at the moment, but still a strange situation. Dont know anything about the new guy, as is pretty normal for this year, so a case of wait and see. Sad to hear about Bob Radford. I got to know him a bit when he was at Reading and was very touched when he turned up at my dad's funeral. Strange to see a new signing appear on the BSPA website but not announced by the club.

A ORLOV Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Twitter from Speedway GB stating that we have released Emil and signed Danny Gappmaier. Edited May 11, 2017 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hope Dany is better than the last Austrian rider we had...didn't last long, can't even remember his name?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hope Dany is better than the last Austrian rider we had...didn't last long, can't even remember his name?! Manuel Hauzinger....had a great debut beating Scott Nicholls and scoring 8 points (having replaced Theo Pijper) but tailed off after that if I remember correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 . Has Grondal been poor? Yes in my view. You would have thought so decent talent quite exciting but surely not ready for this level? Didn't rate Emil but can't see that Danny is even as good as him. A very strange signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Yes in my view. Didn't rate Emil but can't see that Danny is even as good as him. A very strange signing. Gappy is an upgrade, and has been scoring well this year for Berwick (not many could say that) so probably nothing to lose, but will be going to many tracks for the first time and will miss several meetings too, I am sure.

Scored 16 for Berwick recently so must be worth a punt getting him snapped up before he gets a new average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Danny will be a decent signing at reserve... He's been one of the shining lights in a miserable couple of months so far for us up here! Got to give him time to settle though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I wonder if Nick riding at Berwick with Danny pointed out what he was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Maybe so.... And about Nick... Hope he rides on Saturday like he did last night guesting for Poole... Could do with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I guess the fact Grondal was so ineffective at Poole and Somerset means we have little to lose and Dany is a real battler and certainly an upgrade in terms of ability so on that basis worth a go, plus average wise it's like for like at least until the new averages come out, like Bandits fans point out he's been there shining light so his confidence should be high plus we should win the 'best named reserve pairing of the year' award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Having just looked at Danys scores with the Berwick team he does seem to be doing well, but he does seem to have missed a few meetings, just hope that is not an issue we have to deal with.

He will definitely improve the team, couldn't understand getting Grondal in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Tonights Sprockets meeting is off due to water logged track. I saw the picture on FB or Twitter - more like a puddle than waterlogged!! Probably scared off by the weather forecast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
