Alex2000 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Matt Bates anyone? Another one on my list of maybe as I liked him in 2015 made some good rides especially beating Branford and then double passing the heathens duo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 According to radio Sussex at lunchtime, they have someone in mind and possibly hoping to announce it at p&p. But who knows what to believ3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Any idea when p&p is? I have seen nothing on the Web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Surely Harland Cook is the most obvious choice? If he definitely isn't riding for the IOW ( did that get resolved one way or the other?) I think you could be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 They will sack half the team and introduce an Elite League rider again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 If he definitely isn't riding for the IOW ( did that get resolved one way or the other?) I think you could be right. He's not riding for the Warriors unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) He's not riding for the Warriors unfortunately. Sorry to ask Islander, but what was the last reassessed average he was given? Edited March 30, 2017 by gazzac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sorry to ask Islander, but what was the last reassessed average he was given? It's fine. Morrish is insisting on using his 4.14 from about 2006ish when he rode for Sittingbourne. Despite him being declared as a 3.00 at Bournemouth in 2010 and 3 riders all being given 3.50 reassessments last season when they'd been out of racing for a similar length of time to Cook.

Many thanks, it does look he'll be most likely of any remaining riders but would go into the main body of the team but I suppose no more a risk than Adam was . Don't think Connor will want to change the team wholesale to get a big hitter in as wanted a balanced team from the outset. Having said that if they're not performing in the first month or so don't think he'd shy away from it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he couldn't ride for the Warriors, it was said that he wouldn't ride at all but I guess time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for the Warriors situation but I expect Eastbourne is probably the only other club he might change his mind for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscambelt Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Press and practice i have heard is this sunday April 2nd but not sure what time i am going to have a guess at about 1pm but cant seem to find any information on it. Such a well run club seems to have missed this little point. Fans wanted P&P but no time given, also kent have P&P that day not sure which one to go to.

sussex bulldog Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 The press and practice is at 3pm Indeed it is as shown in the official Eagles website ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just had an hour at Press & Practice and I think I see Plan B coming. Replacing Adam Extance with a lower 3+ rider would have given other teams between 1 & 2 points advantage before a wheel has turned. Much more likely they would change the team. I was surprised to see Jake Knight practicing and he looked a cut above everyone else. From his body language with Martin Dugard in the pits he seemed to be saying 'I am back'. My guess would be that Connor Coles is moving probably to Kings Lynn and Jake will be No 1. This leaves 3.79 points to replace Adam Extance. Would make the eagles even stronger. The two who impressed most apart from Jake were Mark Baseby and Tom Brennan. Tom obviously has a lot to learn from behind but when he makes the gate he will be very difficult to catch. The other youngster who looked to have the makings of a good rider wore No 50 on his back. I would like to know his name if anyone has it. Looked a bit big for Nathan Ablett but might have been Jason Edwards? Certainly one to follow in the British Youth Championship this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathen1984 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Make more sense having jake at number one, proper number one then you will. Who u gona get thou with below 4 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Jake was red hot Wood was quite stunning and working hard. Baseby doing well. Nathan has grown - they do at that age. You don't see them for six months and you hardly recognise them. I wish I could stop getting wider every 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
