I fear the knives will be out quite early from some,just because we have so many early away matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 8 minutes ago, Haza said: Have to add it’s a uninspiring team line up Lambert apart it’s a championship side certainly not one that will bring in more support in my opinion - that said they did very well last season so who knows - trouble with what you say about waiting 10-12 meetings in will that be too late in a very short season in a 7 team league ? It’s a fair point, although only half of the first dozen meetings are actual league matches so if by the end of May it’s decided that changes are required there will be plenty of points left to win to get into the Play Offs. In terms of bringing in support, I understand and appreciate the desire to see fresh faces but at the same time many people build up a rapport with riders and having seven riders back from last year will go down well with lots of fans.

semion Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Some are unhappy with the team others seem prepared to suck it an see. I well remember when we had a top 3 of Lee Jessup ( World 1&2 at the time) and Hellsen ( 9 ish average). What did we win that year ? FAS that’s what. Then later a top 4 of Crump, Nicki P, PK and Klingberg (big money signing from BV). Again what did we win that year ? See above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above You are absolutely right in what you are saying though in the Crump Nicki P PK season we did lose PK with a broken leg so who knows how that season would have ended - And I seem to remember Coventry retain I think 6 of there 7 from the previous season and going onto being champions not sure of the year . We shall all have to wait and see how our current 1-7 preforms this season would be good to have an injury free one for staters . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert and him will be a good pairing there. Procter at 3 TJH at 4 I seem to recall a few months back there was mention of Richard Knight being involved again. Or did I just dream that ? I had a quick chat with Richard at the Tatum and Pearson evening and he told me his role was all about generating sponsorship for the club 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Purchasing 3 clubs and purchasing a rider as an asset, Speedway obviously isn't short on money for one man if you believe what he's said in the past. That money spent on Speedway is only generated from Speedway and not from Stock Cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see, I’d imagine a club one would be too expensive at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Kings Lynn, Ipswich and Peterborough look the three weakest at the moment but a few swaps or changes mid season could see one of them finish strongly and with mid table getting you in the play offs anything could happen.

I'm not one of Buster's disciples who cant see no wrong in what he does, but to call him 'bent' is over the top and a insult to his character . Like him or loathe him, we have to remember if it wasn't for Buster we wouldn't have Premier league of Speedway . Remember when dishing out personal insults, Buster, of late, has done more for the sport then anybody..... And I'm no Buster lover..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he will outscore all our riders, with the exception of Lambert... Hans to me represent reliable points. yes, he may be past his best but he can still win important races. A consistent gater who score points on any track. Riss, exciting as he may be , he struggles on tight tracks and needs the open spaces to come into his own. cant see him outscoring Hans this year anyway.... Honestly When were you last at Edinburgh? IMHO Riss will do well this year he is a quality rider and will only improve I can see him upping his average by at least a full point...

GWC Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I should imagine the financial outlay to have a GP rider like Iversen is considerable so investing for the future with riders committed to the UK makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with the comment regarding Ivensen / GP riders and the associated costs but investing in future UK committed riders? MPT, TJ & Proctor have largely hit their level, Kasper & Riss are using the UK while it suits and Lambert is only hanging around until he gets his full time GP place then he will be out like a shot. Not exactly visionary from Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no time did Buster want to take over Belle Vue. Instead, as chairman, he brought two interested parties to the table and it was down to them to satisfy the Council and BSPA which one was the most suitable. You need to be extremely careful in how you are labelling individuals on here, especially when you clearly don't know the facts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
