I’d take that all day long tbh. That reserve pairing would do serious damage, particularly at Foxhall. Won’t happen as Nicholls won’t be anywhere near Ipswich, but it’s a good side.

Baldyman Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Any news on the hunt for a number 1? Im gonna guess at they are desperately looking but to no avail, so klindt will be at 1, Danny as second heat leader, Heeps as third,,,,, ouch. Gonna need some serious fire power at reserve to be competative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 The Ayres “signing” is a strange one if that’s the case Baldyman. That tells me they already have, or are confident of getting the number 1 they want. My guess is Ayres is pencilled in rather than a guaranteed starter, depending on whether that top rider can be found. Hopefully someone who went to the AGM tonight will ask that question and let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm with you,,,, Danny Ipswich are thinking of building a team one of 2 ways, would you be interested if we go one of those ways. Think that covers it. The grapevine is saying no top number 1,, so,,, Mmmmm, what other riders would ride for us and they haven't fallen out with. Please move us back down where we can be a bigger fish. Please Harris come back, now you have had your op and your average is okay, please stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siggysigalos Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Is that you hearing on the Grapevine Baldyman from AGM,that we are not bringing in a Number 1,if so,that's very disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever will be will be - bring it on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think a balanced team will give us our best opportunity with the riders we know will feature, and with a rider like klindt winning races from the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and if the holder rumours come to fruition and he’s on 7.16 with klindt on 7.43 it’s not the strongest top two but still pretty decent and still allows for stronger reserves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue witch Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 So we get given 2 rider announcements that everyone already knew anyway, how long do we have to wait for more announcements? We all know King will be back so just announce it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm gonna hazard two guesses,,, one being they only have 6 riders so are buying time, and 2, they think people find it exciting, oh and number 3,,its gets the name in the paper over a few weeks.

cuckootoyou Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I disagree, good riders can adapt to any tracks or conditions. I have seen Holder fly round lakeside on more than one occasion. Also everyone seems to manage to ride Foxhall these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder never liked Monmore despite him having the odd decent meeeting there. His general demeanour was he didn’t even want to try. That’s the mark of a rider who has poor attitude than anything else. The likes of Holder and KK have poor UK averages from a time when the standard of the league wasn’t strong as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I would be happy with Chris Holder, think he would come in with a point to prove, and he would enjoy the tracks Ipswich, Sheffield, Peterborough, Belle Vue, Kings Lynn, Swindon - all good tracks for him Think he would average a low 8 if he was signed up.

NickH114 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 No doubt his brother would pass on a glowing reference of the Foxhall track! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
