Other than that I’m not sure who is out there, rew ? Hans Anderson ? Any other riders about there potentially available Don't think Roynon would be the answer even if he were dropped by Poole. I believe Batch was asking silly money in the offseason, whether that has changed now I don't know. The way the team has been built leaves very little room for tweaking. Three changes probably needed to see serious improvement unless we unearth a 2 pointer out of nowhere or a random 4 pointer that could do better than Turner.

Seriously looks like there are no 2 pointers out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Turner looks like he could be a decent rider given the chance. Trigger is a bit like Nathan Ablitt and raw. What about Sam Hagon? Has he been picked up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hagon had started the season well and did alright in one wet meeting at Poole....now hes the hottest property in the UK. Certainly shows the state of british speedway. Trigger at Plymouth is probably the best 2.00 option available which is a worry but thats the way the team is built, a lot is reliant on Turner turning up and all the while he takes time to settle its going to be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Trigger a lot cheaper too, whereas Sam Hagon would cost a bit in travel expenses. Also if SH isn't the answer all you're doing is training a rider for someone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before the park snd ride car park, you csn follow the road around to the right and it takes you straight to the track where you can park. really easy best bet when you get near the park snd ride, I’d just watch where the fans are waking and follow them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Plymouth's track couldn't be any easier to get to, great little set up. I'd recommend the front row of the back straight, you can basically reach out and touch the riders, one of the best views in British speedway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a tough season for Plymouth unless we end up rebuilding with 3 or 4 changes. How can it be worse? Starke is averaging just over 3 this season and his average is on the slide, if Morley can score his average its an improvement to the team. However until there is a potent reserve in place i don't see any particular threat from Plymouth to anyone this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I think Jake Turner will get better each meeting he does, so think they just need to stick with him for the time being. Depends how long he is out for though with his injury? 3 minutes ago, Sings4Speedway said: How can it be worse?
