Shadders 4,134 Posted October 22, 2015 He's not likely to collect his Mr Rocket award and then make a speech saying "thanks for this by the way I'm off" is he Shads Probably not, but if he was considering a move he'd surely not say anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted October 22, 2015 I have no idea about whether his retirement was really final or indeed if too many bridges have been burned but with the new No7 regulation does Ritchie Hawkins with an average of just 3.56 become a more attractive option. He surely would improve on that in the circumstances and would mean the top 5 can be built with a strong spearhead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZODIAK 304 Posted October 22, 2015 Very attractive average Bruv, but after the way JL spoke in particular after he left, can't see him returning even if Phil Hilton didn't continue his managerial role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickthemuppet 976 Posted October 22, 2015 Don't know where this Kennett to Ipswich story came from. A vivid imagination I'd say What would the point of having Danny King and Eddie Kennett in the same team. How many matches would they miss in a season with them both being in the Elite League.

northyorksbear 610 Posted October 23, 2015 What would the point of having Danny King and Eddie Kennett in the same team. How many matches would they miss in a season with them both being in the Elite League. Is Kennett not an asset of Rye House? If so, and the criteria remains same, then PL team would have priority in fixtures so he wouldn't miss any matches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bewitched 2 Posted October 24, 2015 does anyone know what averages americans come over on? broc nicol will be riding in the uk next season.dont know about max.maybe 1 or both could be worth a punt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roland 63 Posted October 24, 2015 Here's a thought.......MX riders can make the conversion to speedway, previously both Louis's and Tatum for starters. More recently Cook and the Worralls have done well. In fairness, none of the above were superstars in the former discipline, so what would happen IF somebody could get somebody with even more talent to jump ship.......no previous so presumably comes in on 3? (Just killing a few moments waiting for proceedings to kick from down under) Have a nice weekend everybody, can't see past a Bomber win today!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted October 24, 2015 Have you got someone in mind Roland? Someone with local speedway connections already perhaps...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badge 5,125 Posted October 25, 2015 CL was on radio on Friday. Hopes to announce a rider or two in next couple of weeks. He said fans probably know he wants to build a team around Danny and Nico so expect those will be first names. Can't do 1 league North and South as too many double uppers ie not enough riders and not ready yet for elite League for witches,happy in competitive PL. If you want to listen bbcradiosuffolk Stephen Foster 23/10/15 1.36 into his programme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting snippet at the end there regarding the home straight stand which is set to be pulled down and rebuilt during the winter of 2016. Fair play to the stadium owners (whoever they are these days) who are turning Foxhall in to a magnificent venue. On the team front, sounds almost certain that King and Covatti will be the first two announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted October 25, 2015 Not liking the fact King and Covatti, as want King but great too see another stadium being developed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 26, 2015 Let's hope Danny races for not a Friday team in the elite league, we don't want him missing many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted October 26, 2015 The "rules" did previously state a rider with an Elite league average of over 6 could only ride in the Premier League for 2 seasons, I suppose we'll find out soon enough as to whether Dannys half season in 2014 counts. If it does we'll be looking for a new no1, if not I'm sure he's nailed on to be a Witch. Of course we still have the 2nd half of the agm on Nov 3rd to screw things up as they usually do!
