siggysigalos Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Our only hope is yesterday's U-Turn by Chris Holder in not signing for the Panthers, was to sign elsewhere and not be true he has decided not to ride the UK this season. Leaves us potentially with Zagar and a low average rider, or as Flappy says Worrall and a Rabbit that Louis has pulled out of the bag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you’re asking too much here Taps! They’ve altered the “transfer window” that’s enough for this year surely.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 no Zagar and no Holder for Witches The team year on year is built to a budget and the majority of that has gone on Jason Doyle as an out and out no.1 which is better than throwing the majority of the budget at Jason Crump a few seasons ago I just wish there was a maximum average of 9.00, as well as there being a minimum average of 3.00 so it doesn't penalise the odd rider here or there that achieves such a high average as Doyley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw both ride a few times last year and feel for them both, they did really well - Mountain had an exceptional end of season run of form! I hope they do have places somewhere, maybe come first set of averages changes or injuries they will be the first to get a place!

siggysigalos Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Looks like Worrall is a certainty, thats 6, but with no club for Batch (yet), who on earth is our 7th rider. Zagar and Holder seemingly been totally ruled out on budget, i just cant see who it could be, unless Worrall isnt our 6th rider, and maybe Mountain is in side and Louis has plucked a rabbit from Poland......Or Latvia??? Again im sure Averages will rule that out, but there does seem to be a delay for a reason, and we all know Louis likes a last minute change??

Make your mind up, one minute Holder has changed his mind, & is signing for the Witches, & the next he is ruled out on budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Not sure what I am anticipating, on one hand I think why on earth would they hold announcing unless it is rather good for Witches fans as steady as Worrall and other names mentioned are it hardly warrants the wait, maybe Covatti and a young Miskowiak? Ok ok I will keep it sensible Worrall and erm someone cheap yes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Miskoviak and Vaculik would be a far better finish to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just paperwork to finalise before they can officially announce riders. others items of note, NO transfers after 31st July, league matches done by end of August, draft fixtures done, more work on track banking, looking to run 16lapper but wont be in initial fixture list. Don't think that's a good idea, if someone gets injured right at the end of July clubs will have to use guests for 2 / 3 months rather than signing a replacement. Certainly think they had to tighten up on the transfer rules after Lambert's brief cameo for Belle Vue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams don’t need a leg up by being allowed to sign the best rider in the league on an average that’s been discounted by almost a point-and-a-half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue witch Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Miskowiak and another would be much better than Worrall and Batch. Even if they turn out to be a flop at least they've tried instead of going easy option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some who would say (had they tried it and it failed) - oh you should have gone with Worrall and Batch - you can only please some people some of the time!! anyway we are all still assuming and as the old saying goes!
