Six agreed, just awaiting the appropriate signatures on contracts etc., rather than just drip feeding riders. 90% there with the 7th. That's what I heard anyway. Rob also said he reckoned we'll have the strongest reserve pairing in the league, so no Danny Phillips!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, await this news with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about giving the likes of Smetana a go on a 5 point average along with matty & max & maybe an Ellis type for number 1 & a big hitter at 5 also likes of jaimon lidsey but I reckon him & Ellis may be in Poland but if we could get something along that line of rider with the potential of putting a point per man across the board that's a winning team ..

acclennell Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Tsunami said: Yes I do. I think Rob wants to keep the excitement going, climaxing with some really good news at the Xmas Party. Lots of interest and we need to stick with it and Rob won't disappoint. He hasn't come in to lose money so he will give it a good go. Remember that in other business's you can increase the price, but in speedway the entrance price is really controlled by what others charge so more effort has to be made to increase the crowd and what they spend. Got to be honest there is a bit of a buzz about the place not seen for a good few years. Already signed the 2 riders from last year the supporters would have wanted, ideas to give extended entertainment throughout the meeting and a couple of possible shock signings incoming. Took over last week, but sure is making inroads immediately and imho has probably been sounding out the signings even before he took the plunge. Brought together an experienced team to help out also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty strong Personally would prefer one of them two and a 2 pointer... As you only really need one strong reserve and another who can pick up three 3rd places... Maybe Connor Mountain/Jacob Bukhave and Connor Coles/Joe Lawlor Edited December 4, 2019 by Dandelion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guy, but we have all watched him ride haven’t we? I would be underwhelmed if our fantastic reserve pairing involved using Jacob.......
