Although he seems nailed on for Wolves, would love Masters at Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fricke would of rode the BV v Wolves meeting you wouldn't have made it. Could have, should have, would have. We made it and well earned. 3 hours ago, Eduds1 said: And failed miserably. The point is that the original comment compared the Stars strength this season is similar to Wolves (if Masters is confirmed). The Wolves performed way better than the Stars.

acef Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 9 hours ago, stevebrum said: But 6 of the 7 back who made the play offs with ease last season. Sorry Steve, but it certainly wasn’t with ease. It was 2 points and frankly, that away win at BV on a wet track without max fricke essentially got you in. You did it so fair enough, but let’s not move out of the reality of what actually happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 The reality of what happened is Wolves made it and Belle Vue didnt, its as simple as that. Wolves probably lost silly points they should of got over the season as did BV. Its speedway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acef has Acknowledged that tbf , the issue he’s pointing out was the “with ease” part. It was anything but! For an awful long time it looked like they wouldn’t make it.

Islander15 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 So Masters it is then. That leaves you quite a bit under the points limit so if you wanted 6 of the 7 back, why not sign a stronger rider than Nicol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 So the s have broken the habit of a speedway promoting lifetime. 2 points under the limit and CVS is trying to justify it on the OS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Very strange to build so much under the limit, i would imagine they thought they could get a top rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going for massive cock up!! Giving Sam Masters has been confirmed as the last signing then your massive cock up theory has happened. IMO Wolves will need changes once the averages sort themselves out if they are to challenge this season, they are bound to have a decent home record but not much happening on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 On 12/31/2019 at 5:46 PM, False dawn said: So Wolves have one place still to fill. The conventional wisdom is this is going to be Sam Masters. But. If it was going to be Sam, wouldn't they have announced it already? By my reckoning, that would leave 1.86 points left wanting. So. Are the Wolves management, Peter Adams in particular, with his huge experience and association with the very best in the sport, still holding on to the slim hope that a certain former World Champion can be enticed back as part of his swan song? His last British, top tier average fits nicely into 9.21 left. I'm just whistling in the wind, but hey. You never know. I guess I never really thought it would happen, but I'm sentimental enough to have hoped. Perhaps he'll sign for Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think that they have a plan in place to change it mid season , they should have most of their spare points available for a while and it could just be a decent strategy in the end. For the management to say everything is in place now so we can announce the signing of Masters surely cannot be believed as an excuse why it has taken so long to release that news.

stevebrum Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 So, no surprise that it’s Sam but I still think it’s barmy building to nearly 2 points under the limit. However on paper it’s not that bad a side with scope to improve for at least 6 of the riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabba59 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Steve I do really think the team will be up there in top half of the league. And I've was told they have a new track guy with a lot of experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a strategy. They wanted Hancock or Lindgren. It failed. They got Masters. Still better than the King's Lynn team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
