foamfence Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 So Simon Stead and Olly Allen are to be GB team joint managers, sounds like a comedy duo but hopefully it won't turn out to be, good luck fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 They won't have much to do anyway. Why are there no International Test Matches anymore??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 They put me in mind of Ant and Dec. Not quite Eric Boocock and Colin Pratt. Still, it won't be too difficult..Woffinden? Check, Lambert? Check, Bewley? Check, job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 You need an experienced club manager, who has won some trophies, respected by the riders, maybe an ex rider, thick skinned, who is immune to social media comment. Remind you of an ugly bugger of our acquaintance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team picks itself when everyone is fit so its not as if Allen and Stead are picking a squad for a football wc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I thought it was interesting listening to Allen & Stead on the BT GP Coverage, particularly Stead who was voicing his opinion that riders should be more ambitious... At the risk of being controversial, wasn't it Stead that hid away in the lower leagues for a lot longer than he should have done taking the coin? Maybe more of a do as I say manager than do as I do. Anyway, I wish them all the best, GB will be nothing again until regular test matches are run, you can do all the skipping and ball catching you like, there's nothing like experience 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Adam Ellis was at Cardiff with a couple of riders from the French speedway League, and Adam suggested that it would certainly not be too expensive to run 'Test Matches' against a French side. Maybe not at full international level, but certainly at Championship League level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
