with the greatest of respect what will sacking Smith and Lemon do to the finances of Belle Vue? what will a good manager do? winning the league isnt going to create of influx of funds. ive said before there's no prestige to winning anything in Speedway in this country outside of World Events, Put simply the wider population doesn't care who wins the leagues etc so the losses will be the same 

The losses could be even more if you "win"...

And end up closing a track down....:o

Adrian Smith clearly has the support of those who pay the bills, and also, (from his interviews in the past), seems to understand what the sport needs to move forward, so would also be a loss to the sport overall...

A tough year ahead maybe for the Aces, but crowds are very loyal there considering they had so many years of abject rubbish at the old track...

Who knows, a few "cheap nights" salary wise and they could even make a profit...

The irony of British Speedway.... :D

Looks a good signing and will only improve as the season goes on, obviously Lemon still has the ability to mess up what has the potential to be a title winning team.

Only 17 and no experience on U.K. tracks which are very different to where he comes from. 

He’ll do well to keep his average as up against seasoned campaigners in the Premiership.

But Lemon doesnt control any of that 

Lemon is a director of the club and as such is fully responsible. The way bv is set up Lemo has more control and involvement in the success or failure of the club than Smith. Smith really does what Lemo says because he still doesn’t know how speedway works. He plays the big bv boss but that’s all about his ego. The money the club loses isn’t there’s and they still pick up there wages so they probably not that worried. They’ve had 5 years to get things right at bv and they haven’t. Any other business they failed in and they’d be sacked.

Wrong again.  The Belle Vue company directors are William Anthony Rice and Robin Simon Southwell.  They're the people responsible for the club.

 

But in more interesting matters, Blodorn looks like a decent signing.  Good to see a young newcomer coming to British Speedway.  He seems to be quite a prospect.

A 17 year old German with no British experience on a 4.00 average. Risky. I hope the lad has a Championship club lined up.  Fricke will probably top the averages, decent back.up in the form of Wright & Kurtz, Brennan will improve.

Think Aces need a couple of solid middle order scorers.

He was impressive at Redcar. Very quick out on track, the fly in the ointment, was his gating. Needs to improve there.

A 17 year old who's world under 21 final performances are, for his age, better than:

Zmarzlik

Dudek

Pawlicki

Janowski

Kubera

Smektala

...should do ok

Yes don't think too much can be read in to those stats, riders develop at different stages in their career. Definitely a good prospect and a snip on his average.

Well we're down to 5 riders, 2 to go. 

 

I have to say I'm pretty happy with the team so far.

 

We have 13.02 left for 2 riders. Who would your last 2 riders from this list be 

 

Rasmus jensen -7.86

Kenny bjerre - 7.96

NKI -7.75

Thorsell -7.33

Josh G - 7.00

KK - 6.96

Zagar -7.52

Holder -7 14 (if persuaded to drop swe)

Tungate - 6.53

 

BWD - 5.47

Nicol - 5 23

Allen - 4.80

Jye - 5.22

Barker - 5.33

Fred jakobsen - 5.04

Huckenbeck - 5.66

 

Other honourable mentions are, lebedevs,milik, jeppeson, but highly unlikely them. 

 

The 2 I'd choose are holder and huckenbeck. 

 

Remember it wouldn't be a disaster to go with 2 5 pointers, yes we will start weak but it's not how u start a season. Its how u finish. And we will have plenty of points to play with to make changes if and when needed
