hyabb17 1,077 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) It's a gamble but one worth taking, with the points left we didn't really have much choice. The team is young, hungry & hopefully that brings success! Morris must step up now!!!! Edited December 1, 2016 by hyabb17 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted December 1, 2016 3 riders who have never ridden a top tier British track before. Good luck. Zach has in the NL. He's already rode at Coventry, King's Lynn, Rye House & Belle Vue But different though coming out against NL riders and coming out in unprotected heats against Lindgren, King, Harris etc. SIGNING | @SwindonSpeedway agree to bring Danish racer Mikkel B Andersen to Wiltshire as they complete their side for 2017. He's a rider who should add abit of excitement. It might be a disaster or it could work out really well like Pawlicki did when Rosco gave him a chance. What average does he come in on?

DC2 11,150 Posted December 1, 2016 A young, exciting team & the possibility of new assets for the future. Much better than Poole's team of has-been & ringers. Let's face it, we win the league every forty years & that's the way we like it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 1, 2016 I would be surprised if any of these come in on less than 7.00. You must be because we have signed M B Andersen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 1, 2016 That's Bellego, Grondal who know not many of the track & Mikel who knows none. Going to be a long season & as for assets, they count for nothing these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurntFaceMan 413 Posted December 1, 2016 Premiership is still stronger than the Championship. By a gnats cock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted December 1, 2016 I think too much is eing made of whether or not they know the tracks. The important issue is how good they are. That remains to be seen! Apparently, according to the Adver, Andersen was "on the radar" of several clubs and is highly rated by Hans Nielsen, so that has to be a good sign. It's a strange looking side, but hopefully it will do ok. We have 6 riders who are, apparently, improving (although I'd never heard of 3 of them until recently) which could prove a winning formula. Let's hope so. We at least need to win at home to keep the enthusiasm going with the remaining supporters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,643 Posted December 1, 2016 You must be because we have signed M B Andersen Yes, I am astounded. Any logical assessment would have MBA at 7.00 (6 at a pinch, but certainly not 5.00). Having seen him more than once abroad and the other riders previously named it would be a real slap in the face to British riders to give proven performers in the World Under 21 Final such ridiculously low assessed averages. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted December 1, 2016 By a gnats cock. It's a10 point difference but you obviously think highly of a gnats appendage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted December 1, 2016 That's Bellego, Grondal who know not many of the track & Mikel who knows none. Going to be a long season & as for assets, they count for nothing these days. Retaining assets like Nick Morris breeds loyalty from the rider & fans. Nick, Ellis, Wajknecht & the Danes could ride for the club for years. Yes, I am astounded. Any logical assessment would have MBA at 7.00 (6 at a pinch, but certainly not 5.00). Having seen him more than once abroad and the other riders previously named it would be a real slap in the face to British riders to give proven performers in the World Under 21 Final such ridiculously low assessed averages. He was rubbish in the U21 finals, loads of falls & lasts. The good British riders will get Premiership places regardless & the others have plenty of places in the lower leagues. The real problem is Championship sides persisting with the likes of Konopka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMungo 708 Posted December 1, 2016 Yes, I am astounded. Any logical assessment would have MBA at 7.00 (6 at a pinch, but certainly not 5.00). Having seen him more than once abroad and the other riders previously named it would be a real slap in the face to British riders to give proven performers in the World Under 21 Final such ridiculously low assessed averages. Whilst British riders who have ridden in the World U21 Finals are saddled with ridiculous grades trying to get a ride in Denmark. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted December 1, 2016 Yes, I am astounded. Any logical assessment would have MBA at 7.00 (6 at a pinch, but certainly not 5.00). Having seen him more than once abroad and the other riders previously named it would be a real slap in the face to British riders to give proven performers in the World Under 21 Final such ridiculously low assessed averages. It's a bloody joke. We're told we're using PL averages but now they're giving Danes with World U21 experience 5 point averages. There is no justification for this. Well Done the BSPA, you bunch of utter morons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted December 1, 2016 Pretty sure Zach will be on a par with Branford & better than Shanes. Are you joking? Branford is the best rider there by a long stretch. Averaged over six in the PL last year for Rye House. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
