Woz01 3,589 Posted October 21, 2014 So who would you like in 2015. Ideally I'd have Harris, Howarth , Fricke and Garrity although Fricke and Howarth ride for PL clubs that ride a Friday night. Jonsson seems to want to ride in Britain next year so maybe him at number 1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 21, 2014 Wouldn't have Jonsson just because his average is 9.66 and to get that sort of figure these days is impossible - you'd lose a point before you started. Would look to stick with as many of this years team as possible and fill the Fisher/MJJ/Barker gap with Mads/King/Cook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could always have Jonsson average re evaluated in the interest of British speedway of course 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could always have Jonsson average re evaluated in the interest of British speedway of course Actually, he's been out 3 years, so with the new format there is a case for his average being re-assessed. would be worth a go. Would be worth taking on a 9. Watching AJ and Bomber in heats 5/6, 13 and 15 would be pretty special Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted October 21, 2014 AJ would never comeback. I don't know why he's mentioned every year! Start with Bomber, Howarth, Garrity and Sarj. No Andersen, no Hansen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) AJ would never comeback. I don't know why he's mentioned every year! Start with Bomber, Howarth, Garrity and Sarj. No Andersen, no Hansen. AJ has been quoted a few times now saying he wants to return. Probably realised he had his best seasons, generally, while riding in the EL. As for Hansen, a quirk of speedway is that rider who perform badly one season make good signings the following year. Heart says he's been pants so don't bother, head says bargain average.

SCB 0 Posted October 21, 2014 Where are these quotes then, chop chop? Speedway Star about 6 weeks ago was the first time I read it. Thats not online though. And Lakeside were close to signing him in August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted October 21, 2014 Its in this weeks Speedway Star. AJ was close to signing for Lakeside in August but too many clashes. AJ said Lakeside is one of 2 clubs he would consider (i assume Cov is the other). But Lakeside appear favourites if he does sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 21, 2014 AJ said Lakeside is one of 2 clubs he would consider (i assume Cov is the other). In the same way he used to say he'd only ever ride for Coventry. Then quit mid-season, and signed for Lakeside a few years later He'll go where the money is best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonHWeiner 95 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I was waiting for this thread to appear . What we don't know of course is: 1) Will they use the draft system for reserves again? 2) How will this years successful reserves (eg Garrity, Newman etc) averages be calculated for next year, as except in tactical situations, they will not have rode against heat leaders.

TitusTokio 43 Posted October 21, 2014 I was really impressed with Sarjeant by the end. You must keep hold of him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted October 21, 2014 With the uncertainty of Coventry,s future,think Horton will use all his own assets next season.Dosent make financial sence to enter the transfer market,especially now theres a doubt with Peterborough remaining open,and him passing over their contracts to them. The Bees have a lengthy list of retained riders(including Joe Jacobs)so that must place a doubt around riders such as Garrity and Fricke in the 2015 line-up.
