Maybe this time we are doing it slightly different by signing the left overs first Could be worse I remember the mid 90s when they would have press day and only have 5 riders signed up! One of those press days was when the rumour Joe Screen was supposed to be on his way to sign was floating around Had the delights of Franz Lietner & Gasper Forjac trying out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those press days was when the rumour Joe Screen was supposed to be on his way to sign was floating around Had the delights of Franz Lietner & Gasper Forjac trying out! The amount of chancers we have had early season in years gone by is unreal. We have probably had no more than 5 good seasons since the mid nineties which is pretty shocking for a club of our stature! Unfortunately we talk too much about the past without considering the future and we have been overtaken in terms of honours by many other teams. As for last season, well I'm afraid the management closed the stable door long after the horse had bolted. Granted the changes were commendable but whoever thought the likes of Jordan Stewart could cut it at the top level needs to give their head a wobble! Unfortunately previous years team selections have failed to set the world alight hence the (Understandable) negativity on sites like here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's truly dreadful,,,, That side doesnt fit with the announcement from Louis that the fans deserve better Why it could be the team tho..... is that the side will be built to a budget, and I can see Doyle being expensive so unlikely to fit Crump, Musielek, Cook etc as they would command a bigger fees so going with cheaper alternatives who would likely appreciate the spot such as Heeps, Starke, Riss etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Heeps might look worth a gamble at CL but PL he appears a massive risk, Rowe could be another who stalls and the all important RS could make a heck of a difference, pushing for a good one rather than local will be key.

Bournemouth Echo often gets the 'exclusive' when signings are announced. Either that or the REF events that are held during the winter.

Starke in the main body and Rowe and Kemp at reserve looks awfully weak and far too long a tail. Starke at reserve fair enough, I could live with that. Old Flappy boy seems extremely confident though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is a play off banker and is blatantly doable if we’ve secured both Doyle and Riss. The others seem easy deals to make! If we end up with Flappy’s team and end up a few points below the limit then questions should rightly be asked of Louis.

Would be happy with either if the others were Buttons team and not Flappy’s! I’m not against Heeps being included like others seem to be, his average now looks a good one. Edit: Let’s not start putting both Cook AND Crump back in the line up, poor old Taps will start having another meltdown Edited November 13, 2021 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Heeps average has been looking good for many years,,, and that's my problem,,, his average was higher cos he spent a lot of time at reserve,,, but once in main team,, he went a bit missing. Last season he wasn't overly bad for us,, in fact I would say he done as I would expect,,, okay,, but I just want to see something different,,, I'm bored season after season after season with riders that are okay,, I want to see some new face come in and improve into something good.

What's the total of Doyle, King, Musielek, Basso, Rowe, Kemp then either Covatti or Crump or even Cook (tho with cook it's probably over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
