Norfolk Bear Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Once again many thanks & congratulations to Jitendra for the team changes , if this had not happened our season would now be over ,as it is we are pushing for the playoffs and the KO Cup. Great triers that they are I do not think Ben or Ulrich would have scored the points that Eric is. Sorry for Tom Bacons injury, Kasper is proving a great replacement. Right on to Eastbourne with a team full of MPA specialists UTB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The Redcar management should be congratulated on their recent team changes, they now look a very handy team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 unfortunately we do seem to be carrying one of our reserves - i think it was a step too far for him. I'm one who complains about excessive team changes but maybe this needs addressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to a point but if you are going to try and progress a rider the Tom Wooley isnt it... theres a few other riders on 2pt averages who could hold there own whilst progressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was enjoying Redcars success but this is a crazy move and i hope Wally brings Redcar every joy and happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m struggling to see how employing a more local 2 point reserve to replace a rider who is struggling to score any points is one of the great acts of sporting sabotage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing one reserve who Redcar knew would be a sacrificial lamb with another who can't score any points but is pally with the promotion but no other riders whilst hurting the prospects of another struggling UK club. Nope nothing wrong with that. Unless clubs can learn to look after the interests of the sport as a whole rather than short term individual ambition there will be very few teams left to compete against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 How does Wallinger keep getting so many clubs signing him?! When will they learn he’s unreliable and doesn’t even score points. Barely any in the Championship and on a 4pt NL average! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather he has some top engines and is known to loan them out to team mates. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Wallingers signing been refused by the bspa I don’t no the reason behind it but it’s been put on the Plymouth fans forum by the promoter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 So a precedent has been set today that you cannot sign a NL rider, as a Championship team, when he has the same race night as you. Tbf this is also following the Cook Peterborough/Belle Vue scenario from the other season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
