T.N.T. 355 Posted October 23, 2014 Can't see Andreas Jonsson returning to the Elite League especially if it's going to be 14 home and 14 away meetings and that may well be the case for any GP rider who has regular rides in Sweden and Poland to also contend with. Chris Harris 7.49, Kyle Howarth 5.27 and Jason Garrity 5.00 ? should be bought back to fill three of the five main body places and if 6+ riders are going to be heat leaders then Daniel King 6.74 or Cameron Woodward 6.32 would be a decent signing as they both have experience and both are consistant scorers home and away. What that would leave is anyone's guess but someone like Josh Auty, Adam Roynon or Stuart Robson could be decent #2 riders as Summers and Fricke should be at Premier League and not allowed to double up. James Sarjeant and Oliver Greenwood should be the draft reserves making it a balanced 1-7 in a possible weaker limit yet again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bees_Man 454 Posted October 23, 2014 I have loved the 2014 team so would like to keep as many of them as possible. It's hard to name exactly which team I would like as what will happen with FTD & points limit unknown as well as the talk about Aussie riders not possibly not being able to D/UP. Personally: The first 2 riders I would love to hear announced ASAP would be: Chris Harris & Kyle Howarth Riders I would love to see in team next year: Hans Andersen, Max Fricke, Jason Garrity, James Sarjeant, Simon Stead, Zengota, Kenneth Hansen. Would also be happy with: Nicholls, Larsen, AJ, Summers. Hansen - really!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPNY 608 Posted October 23, 2014 Out the loop a bit with the EL these days. What happened to Kenny Larsen? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonHWeiner 95 Posted October 23, 2014 It will be very interesting to see the points allocation and team structure for 2015 after the BSPA AGM. I have always thought that they should make the decisions a year earlier - eg decide on 2016 at the 2014 AGM. What has been noticeable this year has been the team spirit. We experienced it in the pits after the win at Lakeside - I don't think I have ever seen such a big grin on Bomber's face :-) I agree with most that we should keep Harris, Howarth and Garrity with Jacobs and Sargeant at reserve (if we can!). It is a pity that Kenneth Hansen has been out of form as he is a decent bloke. Fricke and Summers have both done well as guests. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oleoleole 227 Posted October 26, 2014 If you fancy hearing and indeed asking Mick Horton what his thoughts are for next year and beyond he is at the NSSC on Tuesday night. Everybody is welcome, £3 charge for non-members. All monies raised are used to support young British riders. http://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted October 27, 2014 Also said we're after a new number one! Also mentioned there aren't many out there but would have a look. I personally would be happy having Hans back again. Yes he burned out a bit near the end but also had some really good meetings this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans Andersen is all about Hans Andersen, no more, no less! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted October 28, 2014 I thought rider's contracts went to the end of October over here, they used to anyway? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Of the six that finished the season the only one I wouldn't bother with is Hansen who was often quite poor. Overall I thought Andersen did ok although he was disappointing in the Play Off finals. I would be very pleased to see the others return in 2015.
