Mate I don't claim to be an expert manager of a Speedway team, Laurence for all his good points outside of managing a senior Speedway Team, he is pretty crap at the actual managing/recruiting of various senior teams over the years, he has had a fair bit of success with junior teams over the years and always encourages young riders in their careers, but that in itself doesn't make him a good Team manager, others more knowledgeable than me will probably know which teams he has managed with varying degrees of success. I will tell you what I am an expert in, knowing what is a good team and what is a bad team, I have seen a lot of both over the years and Laurence has managed more than his fair share of the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I'm dreading the last 2 announcements!? It's all gone quiet....even the excuses are drying up!! My opinion is that LR is content with a sh#te first team as long as he's got his NDL to play with. Said it a long time ago....Tolley's first signing should have been someone that knows about speedway at prem level.... Let's see what happens?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago On 12/14/2024 at 4:51 PM, THE DEAN MACHINE said: Cradley had some talks with Moseley rugby club last year which showed promise but after a couple of months and meetings it suddenly went cold on the Moseley side for whatever reason The 2 Rugby Clubs whose bases might have been worth a look a decade or so ago were Dudley Kingswinford or Stourbridge. Both accessible with services and utilities in place and plenty of land around. Sadly fairly affluent areas where the noise would have been an issue even for a few hours and week. I always thought "The Dell" next to the Athletics Track in Pensnett or strips of land off Level Street adjacent the old Round Oak goods yards would have been another place. Similarly the "shelf" of land by Netherton Cricket Club opposite the Reservoir? I'm sure everyone involved looked at those areas but go absolutely no encouragement from the Council?

Let's see what happens?! is there a reason why you constantly blame rogers im assuming tolley and adams also have significant inputs into what goes on id probably wait and see who the last two signings are before getting too downbeat the team already looks significantly better than last years debacle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last years performances for us that would be a mistake anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even myself a very loyal fan ( missed 3 home meetings in 10years ) would struggle to get motivated for a walloping every other week again.

Based on last years performances for us that would be a mistake anyway Steve has done a lot of travelling these last few years so his priorities this year, in no particular order, is his young family, his business & Championship riding. Living 25-30 miles down the road is a no brainer this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaddlebowRoad Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago voulas would be a good signing but the final one would need to be somebody who takes them up to the points limit really cant see it being worrall for the reasons already stated a pity the rumoured thorsell & nilsson haven't materialised as that would have been good team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I was told 2 weeks ago that Thorsell was guaranteed, not heard anything since to change that, you’d think if there’s been back word from Jacob or Birmingham that one or the other would say ‘had talks but didn’t work out’ etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
