Jaizer Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 4 hours ago, Bagpuss said: I'd say there is a very good chance that every single one of those riders will be doing the Polish Leagues on a Sunday and therefore unable/unwilling to ride on a Saturday over here. I just wonder what makes more business sense now. A weaker team on Saturday nights or Tuesday nights with one of the named riders at no.1? Seems whatever Plymouth do goes against them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky_Mark Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 But Plymouth have to have somebody…. If you don’t want Kennett, don’t want BWD and all the other possibles are in Poland then what other options do you have? Maybe drop a reserve and sign 2 x 6 pointers instead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the Boeotians Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Given the choice I suspect the majority of fans would rather see a strong team capable of reaching the play offs, than a weak team who would regularly get thrashed. Even if this meant abandoning the Saturday race night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would completely agree, at the start of the season you get the fans even if the team looks weak but as the season progresses, the fans will dwindle unless you have a competitive team especially if they start losing their home meetings.

Although there is a slight problem of some riders signing up to a Swedish team on a Tuesday now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this meant abandoning the Saturday race night. But is there any rider available that would turn this team into a play-offs chasing team? 99% of (non Plymouth) fans had them down for bottom with Covatti. Not seen any suggestions of a rider that fits who is a big improvement on Covatti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Putting 2 and 2 together Always dangerous but... Lewy has enquired about Danny Phillips average. Was told it was 2.01. Jusr supposing they binned Jacob Hook 4.00 Wouls allow 10.23 by my calculation to get a bid hitter with 1.99 saving plus Covatti average and the 0.48 they were under the limit with Covatti. A 10.23 rider if they could find one, more likely on a Tuesday, would upset the proverbial applecart ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky_Mark Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 It would be extremely harsh to drop any rider at this stage but if there are genuinely no 8 point riders then what choice do they have? Can’t assume that it would be Hook making way though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 In the last few seasons Plymouth have shocked a few with the signing of Pedersen, Crump & Andersen. So lets wait & see who Gary & Mark can get to put their name on the dotted line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if there was a viable option it would have been done by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
