More often than not it is a bit of both, I think Nathan should be given another season, he has improved over the season, i would keep Danny King, Richard Lawson, both Cooks and Nathan, let Kemp and Worrall go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble with having three no'1s and the chefs who have improved immensely you have to let one go as success costs jobs still whoever is let go they won't be short of offers and if it is Steve and he is northern based he'll have a pick from a few clubs as apart from at Poole he will be riding No 1 as we can be sure it won't be Richard who is let go but who knows one thing we all can take for granted the Ford's will build a side that will be up there again as always.

stevehone Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) i'm feeling Danny King will be one to move on, not sure why, but think he'll still be travelling down south, and a bit further than Poole. no idea on averages but would they be able to keep the other 6 and get a mid/low averaged rider in?

I hope. Not, Danny is the captain and one of my favorite riders, he isn't getting any younger but still has alot to give and never gives up. If we have to let one of our heat leaders go it has to be Steve Worrall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even use Leicester's averages as they "won" the actual league itself... Seven riders, including 3 heat leaders, from Leicester will become available so plenty of potential for teams to strengthen up to get nearer the top teams... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I quite agree, every season the team has to be broken up because of there success, riders riding themselves out of a job in some cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Just heard a strange one here..from what I've been told the picture that Leicester put up of busters amazing track work was a photo taken months prior and when buster turned up he saw it and said no chance and left it . So the king's Lynn track use was agreed a while before hand. Don't know how it is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Steve might be fed up with the travelling after two seasons. I would hope we definitely having Lawson and both Cook's. Also, one of Steve or Danny, but I don't mind which one stays!

Steve Shovlar Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Tough decisions to be made but let’s savour the moment. We went through the whole season without a single change to the lineup and our heat leaders were pretty much rock solid. Our second strings were exactly that with up and down meetings (mostly up) and our reserves battled. People have been on Drew’s case as he seems to take every race defeat as a personal insult but he has increased his average by a fair amount. A shame he couldn’t keep his early season form going. Don’t think riding in the premier league helps him to be honest at this stage of his career. He needs to be concentrating on getting consistent in the Championship and build his confidence.

Yes agree, I am one who has been on his case . I thought his attitude at Kings Lynn was terrible, we had just won the title and he was nowhere to be seen, i know he felt he could have won heat 14 but these things happen you don't go into a big sulk, Middlo had to beckon him over several times to pick up his medal then other riders had to encourage to try to enjoy the moment, I didn't notice it much at the time apart from he seemed to be always at the back not wanting to be part of it but watched it back on BSN and it is more obvious I can't imagine the other riders or management appreciated it. Lawson for example had never won a title before, he was superb on the night and he ended up trying to get Drew to enjoy it. I spoke to Kyle Newman at Poole in the first leg and personally would love to have him back in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how it is though Wonderful theory, I was there on the day of the photo, the tyre packing marks are my handy work , when a photo is taken on a phone it is date and time stamped, so I think you are very wrong! Just checked Oct 31st at 16.29. Does that clear it up for you? Edited November 7, 2022 by BTFC LION More info. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 The reports of the Leicester track and the reason it was aborted, wasn’t because of what it looked like after the work had been done. It was because it was spongy going into the bends and therefore not safe for the riders. With no chance of getting this moisture out the decision was made to move it to Kings Lynn. Reported on BSN on the stream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
