Bandits4eva Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Not so great however was the fours final at Coventry in 2002, we came so close to winning it but luck was not on our side, I was there and I still havent forgotten it to this day, the mood on the club coach coming home was very sombre. It wasn't too somber in Berwick that day or the following weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRushbrook Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'm thinking Lawson will be nailed on which is a good start. Zach and Ben at reserve pretty handy as well. I wonder who the rider Jon's referring to is? I think Nicholls did guest in the CL last season but was never technically part of any team so it could be him. Would be a strong top two if that were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) So Zack has been signed by Swindon wasnt Adam Ellis a lakeside asset as well ? now both signed by Swindon, as assets,,makes me ask what was the reasoning behind this from a Lakeside point of view ??

Probably the need to raise money after a financially difficult 2017. Maybe it's tied up with a deal that they get Zak without paying loan fees.

marko Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 It wasn't too somber in Berwick that day or the following weekend! I bet it was and such is my memory I can still remember the rider who won it for, Paul Bentley The potential clue is Jon saying it will be an almost all British team or maybe he is throwing out a curved ball there? Would love Kim to be involved though, I know some compromise might be required over dates but at this level on his average we would have the pick of almost any rider as a guest, not that I want to start having loads of guests but away from home at tracks Kim is not so familiar with it might be in our favour, wouldn’t be the first time a scenario like that has been used against us, Cough Dryml Brothers Cough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER180 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 can understand getting rid rid of ellis as could never handle our track and has slagged the club off enough but why zac surely if the club really want an all british team as they keep saying then keeping zac as an asset should have been a no brainer. what is our asset base anyone know? all I can think of if still on it are peter llung and the Davidson brothers.

E I Addio Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 .what is our asset base anyone know?all I can think of if still on it are peter llung and the Davidson brothers. Kim, Stuart Robson, Rob Mear, and technically Adam Shields, Kauko Neiminen and (sadly)Lee Richardson. When you look back at the assts bought over the years, Kim and Robbo are the only ones the club have really got their money's worth from, including loan fees so you have to wonder if it's worth buying assets any more. Far more commercially viable to find a new talent, sign him, develop him and sell him at a profit , which is what they seem to have done with Adam and Zak. Of course it does depend on keep finding new talent but there are some coming through, as we have seen from the junior races, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRushbrook Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Now my positive thoughts have taken a turn. I can understand the reason behind selling Adam as he wasn't happy here anyway but surely selling Zach is sending out the totally wrong message after a week of better news? My romantic thought was that we could build a team around Zach for the future. What a load of cack! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Assetts though don't mean much in speedway anymore and it never prevented us from being able to track the likes of AJ. In the grand scheme of things Lakeside have and for the immediate future will be a selling club, but in the CH that could over time change. If and its a big IF we end up with a top three of Kim, Edward and Richard, only Edward and Richard would i pressume be on loan, and if we got Lewis Kerr he would also be on loan, but it does not really matter, so long as they are there each and every week bar injury, I don't care who owns them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. The other side of the coin is that owning a rider as an asset doesn't stop him going elsewhere if he wants to (and gets paid more ) as Swindon discovered when Adrian Medzinski went to Poole a few years ago.

BrizHeathen Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 If what I am hearing turns into fact, I may just brave that M25 on a regular basis in 2018. It may surprise a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E I Addio Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Spill the beans then mate Apparently we will be racing Saturday nights according to Glasgow boss Stewart Dickson. Ah so the stadium owners have phoned up Stewart Dickson and told him there won't be any stock cars on Saturdays next year ? I doubt it. There might be a few Saturday's , as there always was when there were fixture clashes even in the EL days but I will be astonished if Saturday is the regular race night. Experience over the years has told me that at this stage of the game only two people know what's happening, that's Jon and Stuart. Well im certain there will be at least 1 ex Witch at Lakeside in 2018 Tony Davey ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a member of the SCB committee so maybe he does know what is happening. He is on a speedway podcast tomorrow I will see if I can listen to it.

marko Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hmm so to add to the rumour and innuendo, if said rider is a Swindon asset he could therefore be part of a deal which saw the sale of Zach to the Robins? Lets speculate here, could we fit Morris, Schlien, Lawson, Morley and Zach W in and still leave say seven - eight points to play with?
