boz 316 Posted November 7, 2016 All quiet on here! Really need the new promotion sorted out i guess before too much can happen with riders. Sounds like JBA had agreed terms with Havvy and is just waiting on the new promotion to confirm it and that would be a solid start to team building. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drac 83 Posted November 8, 2016 Well if it is true that we made a profit last season, surely it makes financial sense to dig deep on riders this season to bring the ever dwindling crowd back. A team doing well brings people through the doors. Look at Middlesbrough FC the seasons we were shi'te in the championship there was 15k a match and when we were challenging for promotion it was 25k+ People will support a successful team 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed the new promoter can win back some of the old crowd and get a bit of atmosphere around the place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 316 Posted November 8, 2016 Ty Proctor on a sub 7 average must be worth a punt? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slyfox 97 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) You'd imagine both Skidmore & JBA will be nailed on to return Plus Tobias Busch should be a cert as well on 4.66. That could sort the middle order out. Then we would need 2 above them say Davis Bellego (again) on 7.63 and Thomas Jorgensen on 7.45 (as he always goes well on our track and we have talked about trying to get him for ages). That would take us to 32.88 and just the reserves to fit in. Ideally Rob Branford at No 6 on 4.6 would be great (if he would come back, after all he is our asset). That would leave 2.52 for a No 7 and I understand you can go down to 2 points for a N L rider without a P L average. I now understand from Havvys comment in The Gazette yesterday that you have to have 2 British riders in each team this year which would be the No 7 and Rob Branford in that case. Just shows how tight team building will be with only 40 points to play with. Edited November 8, 2016 by Sly Fox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted November 8, 2016 Wouldnt Busch be 5 min? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slyfox 97 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Wouldnt Busch be 5 min? Not according to the new averages on the BSPA site today (he is 4.66). They even have Jacob Bukhave on a 3 point average if anyone wants to take a chance on him again. Edited November 8, 2016 by Sly Fox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 537 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Glasgow did well , good crowds..... or looked that way but still lost money! Glasgow are reportedly paying the biggest money in their league and going by the team strength at Redcar , they are at the other end of the spectrum. Redcar do have a good hardcore of support even with a poor team Edited November 8, 2016 by KIRKYLANE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Busch wants to come back and Redcar play there cards right they could slot him in at reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
