Baldyman Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 If the German is in the team,, then we in big trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I see our first meeting against the panthers will be their fourth if all there riders race in their anniversary meeting... Its never good going in cold against a team that have ridden a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) I see in the Speedway Star Ritchie Hawkins under the title “Witches’ search”, says we have “plenty of points to play with” in the search for the last rider and hopefully get something sorted in the next couple of weeks after admitting it’s been difficult getting a top rider in. So we actually HAVE, signed and announced 6 riders without having a scooby who the last rider is! That’s staggering Edited January 24, 2020 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Not so staggering,,, didn't the same happen last season,,before the panthers gave us a rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to be a short, shortlist then if you are still looking for someone of proven quality who wants to do it.. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Maybe Swindon will give us a rider this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's a bit of a worry that a new tream can attract pedo, and we can't attract anyone. One of the main reasons I wanted to stay in the lower division, where we could attract riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The master of tactics is in charge don't worry its sorted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 It may be sorted,,, but certainly no master of tactics,,,, far far from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Maybe the worry is more for Sheffield because Louis mentioned about the cost of bringing Pedersen to Sheffield... maybe they might go bust offering Nicki too much wonga or he leaves when they can't afford to pay him, don't buy into them being able to get him because of sponsorship, Witches sponsorship is spread among the team as a whole as probably with most sides unless of course Sheffield have an individual sponsor just for Pedersen. If I were at Ipswich right now, i'd be letting Ayres go now and spreading those points across the board Ipswich Witches 1. Nicolai Klindt 7.43 2. Cameron Heeps 6.30 3. Jake Allen 5.56 4. Eddie Kennett 5.53 5. Danny King 6.65* 6. Nico Covatti 5.27 7. Scott Nicholls 5.36 Then before the play-offs or before this transfer window goes... you're most like to get a Musielak or Bjerre to committ to the last 25-40% of meetings and changes can be made... So perhaps Nicholls/Kennett in now and then replace with Bjerre/Ayres at the crunch time of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Trouble is Bjerre will be snapped up before that. And I think Sheffield sponsor paying towards pedo wages. And let's be honest,,,, Sheffield will have more bums on seats because of pedo,,,, it will sort of pay for itself. Speculate to accumulate Edited January 24, 2020 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Nikki last night, he isn't being paid a fortune, and I believe the Sheffield promoters have the financial knowledge not to put Sheffield Speedway in that situation either. Perhaps some sour grapes from Louis because with the same sponsor Sheffield have got Nikki and Ipswich haven't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. If you must do it this way, at least leave 8 minimum otherwise you’ve reduced your options from the off! I think it’s mad announcing 6 riders without a 7th signed I really do. Announce 5 fair enough, at least that gives you a little wiggle room with 2 spaces left. If we can only manage to find a 6 pointer then we’re as bad as Wolves and will have built nearly 2 points under the limit. Seems a complete balls up.

Worse than Wolves really, at least there's an inkling of looking at long term building with their team this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
