torpointfanatic22 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Plymouth should have signed Leigh Lanham No they shouldn't have - Nor should they have signed Andrews, Smart or Compton but hey ho. kyle hughes is on a different planet to Compton tbph Was offered a deal at Plymouth but KL is rather closer to home for him given he lives up that way now and I agree re the comparison! Given Compton lives Leeds way I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't last that long - Leeds to Plymouth on a Friday = a long ruddy way! I am not sure which year Benji is carrying his 8.95 average from because according to speedway-statistics his National League average for 2016 was 5.45. 8.95 - Christ alive I thought it was a poor signing and that was when he was going to come in on 5-6.

TurnTwo Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 No they shouldn't have - Nor should they have signed Andrews, Smart or Compton but hey ho Why shouldn't they? He's on a less avg than Compton and far better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Might even give him a free sesh on the beer for every maximum he scores....With no disrespect to him you're giving him a very good dealDon't think you'll be getting him any beers for maximums though. Steve Boxall on the other hand is very much a wasted talent. He has ability in abundance but tends to suffer from poorly prepared equipment. If you can solve that problem you'll have the perennial problem of PL and CL teams after his services. Back in the day Kyle Hughes looked like a future top league heatleader in the making but too many injuries seem to have taken there toll. An injury free season would be a godsend for him and maybe give him a kickon for 2018 at a higher level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Benji's maximums, the first session will be named after you Sir.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have picked a team, and I have no doubt you will give them all the support they require..Supporters should now stand back and give 100% support to you and the team picked. If you are a speedway fan you will go and watch them at the SBA,you will make your mind up about riders over the season. The very best wishes to both promoters and all the team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncooseboy Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I would hope that the commercial manager would already have leapt on this idea. Bandvulc tyres at Ivybridge have recently been bought out by the giant Continental tyres, they were probably the first ever major speedway sponsors at Norwich back in the 60s. nNOT SURE BUT I think they might own Mitas as well. The brothers who owned the company (Bandvulc) were not interested in sponsorship even when I suggested running one of their tyre shows at speedway tracks as suitable for the shows, parking for visitors, potential catering , large display areas and the visitors could even stay on for an evening match. With a change of ownership at the company and potentially a company who are Speedway savvy MAYBE they might now be worth a well thought out and put together approach for a sponsorship deal.

Devilman Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks Barncooseboy. I had already spoken to Bandvulc and had a definite no the same as yourself. Awaiting response from Continental but I might run out of air waiting! Any suggestions always welcomed via Private Message on the Devils proboards. I trust you are well, Regards (That's blown my cover on this forum, damn!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a very successful businessman he won't just had you a load of cash - you will have to show you have something worth buying!!!! good luck for 2017.
