Bradford Ace Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Think all will be revealed on Thursday night at the Supporters do at the Stadium. Personally hope it’s Josh Pickering although he doesn’t seem to be mentioned as much as some of the other possibilities?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Jye Etheridge can't be dumped by Aces again, surely? He's by far your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On insta he has said to a question asked to him that nobody as yet has contacted him. I'm pretty sure it will be him but rene bach been mentioned a few times I'd take any of jye, bach or pickering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldace Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Might be nice to try Pickering. By all accounts up and coming with a nice style. Also, being used to small-track Edinburgh may do better away than Jye. I wouldn't be disappointed with Jye as he'll score well at home.

Gunner85 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Jye has not progressed. Good home average and very poor away..still the same story do not want Jye in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want Pickering just because he'll do better at Ipswich & Wolverhampton? Not a good logic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing that let's him down is his gating 8/9 times out of 10 it's atrocious and he struggles against better riders because of it. I think he's been riding in Poland though so he could well be an option. I'd like to see him do well if he does sign for Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good logic No, not just because. There is reason to believe that he could adapt to the Belle Vue track and do well. His ability to do better on the small tracks would be a welcome bonus. Over the past few years that has been our weakness. Berge, Etheridge, Drodz all could score well at home but were really a liabilty away. It's obvious that we will need a more solid team this year having unfortunately lost Max Fricke and Kenny Bjerre at the top. Also, nice to see new faces.

acef Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Etheridge has moved forwards. He's still susceptible away but a lot of teams will have that issue. Rene is who I thought Phil was referring to and I hope it's not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jye 2019 championship league home matches 8.67 championship league away matches. 4.72 this is why Belle vue dropped him in the first place when he proves himself home and away in the Championship is the time for him to move up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Personally I'd much prefer Josh Pickering over Jye Etheridge, although I do rate the two... But Josh is so much faster and more exciting to watch... But I'd LOVE to see Rene Bach get a uk team place next season... Even if it's not with the Diamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) 1. Brady Kurtz 7.54 AUS 2. Steve Worrall 5.53 GBR 3. Charles Wright © 6.51 GBR 4. Dan Bewley 6.15 GBR 5. Peter Kildemand 7.10 DEN 6. Jye Etheridge 4.35 AUS 7. Jaimon Lidsey 5.16 AUS I personally thought that this would be the team once Max and Kenneth weren't coming back and Brady and Peter got signed up... Still think it will be something similar, maybe Josh Pickering rather than Jye at 6? Not sure how the Aces still feel about Steve but I hope he gets fixed up somewhere and he'd go to number 7 pretty quickly imo... So not a lot of pressure on him... To start with that's a hell of a reserve pairing!! Especially Jaimon... Dan Bewley would be the best number 4 in the league and the heat leaders, although not the best, won't be the worst either... Interesting times for Belle Vue ahead Also, Charles Wright for captain? Or is Dan ready? Edited December 8, 2019 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Steve needs a little less pressure on him... Especially after last year, he struggled quite a bit, but hey I never watched him for Belle Vue, he might be worthy of it...
