dantodan Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 There are a few of our riders from 2017 who may be in the equation for 2018 Stuart Robson Ashley Morris Alfie Bowtell Ben Hopwood Danny Phillips. If Robbo, Ash and Alfie are keen to ride for us, I would get them to sign. To Ben and Danny I would thank them but bring in higher averaged riders hopefully the maths would dictate Ash starting as a reserve which would strengthen the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Surely Danny Phillips who was scoring at 3.5+ but would still start on a 2 would be the best bet at No7 if you want to have a strong No6 like Ash Morris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 If George English lost money last year as reported I can’t see Alfie Bowtell back as I’m led to believe he’s southern based and he must be on mileage allowance as on that points average he can’t be making money . So a more local river should be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 A wonder if any signings will be announced at the Christmas doo on Friday night ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 With the lack of out and out number 1's left unless we can tempt Edward Kennett (no thanks) or Scott Nicholls (), it made me think are we going to try a few unknowns from abroad, if not, could the team look a bit like this? 1. ? 2. Aarnio (5.02) 3. Rose (appreciate that he has signed a contract in Poland but no sure if it is a Sunday or a Saturday track and the likelihood of him being used!!!) (6.49) 4. Kus (7.64) - see comment re: Rose 5. Lindgren (Ludvig not Freddie) (7.29) 6. Morris (4.88) 7. Bowtell (2.19) Total (33.51) leaving 8.99 for a number 1 - does not factor in any reductions so points available for No. 1 may be higher I think we would struggle in the big heats but hopefully should have enough to cope with most teams at home. I mainly based this team on cost cutting and trying to use our own assets where possible and riders who have performed well in the past around Brough. I don't envy George in trying to make a team out of what is left and he may have to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat. I think we have to get Morris back and get him back at reserve and I would favour Bowtell over Phillips!!! Only time will tell and we may know a bit more after the Christmas party.

I cant recall the league having so few heat leaders ..... 12 between 11 teams given last year there was summers over 8 and bridger deemed over 8 ............ there were around 19 heat leaders between 10 sides if u read my posts I want a more fairer league ....... and I would be complaining if we had 2 heat leaders there is still too much self interest and not enough working together to create a competitive leagues and support and nuture british talent - look at the latest ruling ........ foreign riders are now on 5.20 ........ and what a surprise Edinburgh have the Swedish under 21 champion in at 5.20 ............ bloody joke Self interest lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 So, Ashley Morris. Good signing especially if he can be a reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond@heart Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Good first signing and glad to have the BCB back. Hope he starts the season at reserve as a lot of teams seem to going down the strength in depth route (probably due to lack of out and out NO. 1's). Be interesting to see who the next one is, hope won't have long to wait!!! Santa maybe stuffing him into his sack as we speak getting ready to deliver him on Chrimbo day!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Alfie to complete the reserve pairing would be a nice christmas gift But would Danny Phillips be the cheaper option Really, really glad Ashley came back, he did so well last year and may he do so well for us in years to come, safe 2018 Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
