Again as I stated before. No chance Adam Ellis is in the side, would more likely be Tobiasz Musielak who is on a lower average.

Oh dear, another wrong comment. Confirmed in the adver that Musielak & Vissing are the unlucky two from this years side to miss out. i can’t wait for the •welcome back Adam Ellis” & “correcto” comments in the coming days.

Looking at the Sheffield side which is a very attractive one with there reserves being  Nichol/ Shanes.?? With Ellis Perks could we afford to offer Anders Rowe a spot? if most sides have that level of reserve i am sure Anders can compete certainly at home anyway a tough call a tough decision.

Wolves have announced Broc Nicol

It’s ok. He’ll have one of his other log ins to claim he was right

So, no place for Musielak. It will be interesting to see if he gets a team place elsewhere or is just lost to the league as a result.

I can imagine there will be more than one club who could fit him in if they choose.

Au contraire,  you just come across as a sad branleur who can only get the attention he craves by creating multi and being a pain on as many threads as possible. 

 

You don’t trigger me as me as I only come on here once in a while. 

 

You’re pretty sad really if this is all you’ve got. 

You can imagine the amount of Access buses this clown can fill with its multiple aliases

Like yours! ;) Maybe if Buster didn't annoy so many riders you'd have more choice. 

Maybe but not sure we could fit him in and have a decent reserve unless we didn’t sign one of last years heat leaders and I can’t see that happening, although you never know.

The whole Buster falling out with people thing is a bit of a myth IMO, yes there are one or two who have taken the mickey when employed by him but generally I think he is a good promoter to ride for, pretty sure his riders have always been paid fully and on time since he took over in 1992 and that goes a long, long way for speedway riders.

shame about tobi but you still looking strong to me .a lot stronger than we are at poole oh forgot different league :angry: 

The decision has been made, time to let it go! It doesn't have to be forever. If the season is more financially secure might be okay to move back at some point.

Bad decision not to sign our own asset, Musielak, especially on his average.

It doesn’t encourage loyalty and that could be the last we see of him, unless no one else signs him and he comes back mid-season.

Choosing Batch and Jensen instead on their high averages will mean poor reserves. One of them should have gone.

3.57 Ellis Perks as senior reserve, however much he’s a trier, like Shanes, is a mistake.

Very strong top four, weak tail.

Just my opinion.  :)

Yes that is true but the ones he did annoy are quite mouthy/vocal. Chris Holder still has a grudge about it!

Quite a few Lynn fans hold a grudge against Holder too for being garbage in 2017 :wink:

I would imagine most people in speedway whether they ride, promote or manage can make up their own minds about messrs. Holder, Batchelor and Chapman. Everyone is in it to earn a crust at the end of the day so probably best that they put the past behind them and move forward in s professional manner.

I think that on team strength alone I would have gone with Toby over Rasmus Jensen, but the announcement said they couldn't guarantee that Toby wouldn't get recalled by his Polish club during the season.

As for encouraging loyalty, someone had to be released. There was no avoiding that.

Yes, but loyalty should start with assets.

And Tobi has ridden for us for three seasons without being recalled so I’m not buying that!

If Tobiasz was going to stay i feel it was always between him and Adam either would do for me.But Rasser is a terrific third head leader who for me is so good at the new Abbey from day one he attacked the track.He can also improve away and  he also entertains with his moves from the back.Yes we could look crumbly at reserve but other teams who have better reserves than us wont have the top end strength certainly in heats 13/15 Perks also can improve.

Batch for me was the one to go.

He’s unlikely to improve his home and away averages, whereas Rasmus should improve away and Ellis and Musielak will improve both.

A great point and Musielak on that average is a steal ,but Batch  has shown us loyalty!!!!  also he does not need to improve just try to equal what he did in 2019 which wont be easy.Also when the Abbey is prepared right Troy is as good a rider as anyone  a terrific number 2 to Doyley.Alun also knows how to get the best out of him and what is really nice now is just how popular Troy is with the Swindon fans.
