Kurtz rode like a trooper and scored 10 points for Somerset when they visited Owlerton 4 weeks ago and Sedgmen was kingpin in the Birmingham team that demolished us 117- 61 over two legs in the KO Cup in 2010. Sounds like a fair swap for one rider who's struggled all season and another who's back in the States having his shoulder mended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the guy who Ipswich couldnt get rid of in 2017, missed all of 2018 and if he hadnt of been injured early in 2019 wouldve been clubless far longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If sedgeman bangs in big points and we get to the play offs I will be more than happy but in all honesty I can't see it happening .When was the last time he was in the big points consistently.I personally think it makes us weaker.Todd is limited away from home but ok round Sheffield and sedgeman didn't score too many on his travels with edinboro.We are going to need our reserves to step up and top 2 to be on top form every meeting.

The Third Man Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Absolute farce, no point in watching the last few matches at Sheffield now, this has made us much weaker so Sheffield have given up on the playoffs. quite ironic that we lose proctor to replace the rider who caused Nichols to be on the injured list in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyTalk Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hope the changes work out. However, have replaced Proctor when he seems to be in the best form so far this season. Replaced Nicol, but from August Proctor would have been able to take one of his R/R rides so would have been stronger there. Kurtz rode well against us but his average is down on last year. Sedgeman not raced too much recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBSN Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'm confused. You need 3 days to redeclare a team. Somerset must have redeclared on 28/07 at the earliest (only found out on 27/07 that Atkins wanted out). So Sheffield have managed to redeclare, and then Leicester all before 31/07?!

Must be that Teams are re-declaring but not announcing until day or 2 days before. Who is next I wonder? I'd have a wager on Glasgow or Newcastle, not many left who haven't made changes in last week / 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible for all these changes to have happened unless you can redeclare a team and include a rider that's in someone else's current team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible for all these changes to have happened unless you can redeclare a team and include a rider that's in someone else's current team Your making a basic mistake. All these decisions will have been made at least by last weekend. And in your case better pr to say 2 riders have quit and we've had to let one go than say we've sacked 3 so we can get Nick in. Note that the one they sacked was able to find a new track within hours. Again good pr, at least the rider can still earn money etc. More importantly glad the changes worked for you last night. Hope our change works for us tomorrow against Redcar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Glad the Redcar v Sheffield match was rained off this week, would rather race against a team with Sedgmen/Kurtz than Proctor/R/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 now.conundrum time.do i take myself and the good wife off to see the tigers at leicester,pay £40 quid of my hard earned to see a team, although glad todds back, get hammered and see our former rider rub it in a bit more, or go to the eddie wright raceway and see a much closer meeting with closer racing, the bonus of seeing jensen again after last week, eat some nice scran and be home at a decent time.mmmm.what do you think fellow fans?

Moranboys Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 too true and really i should be supporting my team but events of the past couple of days has left a slightly bitter taste.ty proctor has said that he feels like he was hounded a little but that the club would be better off as they are now instead of r/r and himself.not so sure i agree with that. 9 minutes ago, RS50 said: Would you rather give your money to the Bates family or Rob Godfrey?
