blocktread 36 Posted October 4, 2017 Thing is could we fit Bjerre in next season?,we got him on a bargain average this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted October 5, 2017 If as it appears that we are heading for 10 teams in the league,then the points limit will no doubt go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted October 5, 2017 Bjerre is our best rider at the NSS and because it is such a fair track, where many riders enjoy racing, we need a rider like Bjerre to give us a better chance of winning at home. I've not seen any visitor at Belle Vue this year that I didn't feel Bjerre was capable of beating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyderd 1,216 Posted October 6, 2017 Bjerre Fricke C holder J holder Tungate Bewley Smith All under a 42 point limit if it was 42 Wouldn't feel like a Belle Vue team with 2 holders in it, Cook is a must as is Bewley, to be perfectly honest I would love the 1-7 we currently have to be our team next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) If the limit is 42 sadly I think to have a competitive team we need to lose 2 riders from this year. So my first idea Zagar Cook Fricke Tungate Toft Bewley Smith 41.78 2nd idea C holder cook Fricke houggard Tungate Bewley Smith 41.98 Edited October 6, 2017 by B.V 72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted October 6, 2017 would love our present 1-7 but at 43.98 that looks a no no, so if the limit is 42 then I would go K Bjerre...............8.48 K Howarth............5.26 S Worrall..............6.77 R Tungate............6.18 C Cook.................8.45 D Bewley..............4.71 J Smith.................2.00 Total.....................41.85 Or replace K Howarth with M.P.T Total.....................41.79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted October 6, 2017 Howarth will be at Sheffield...probably in the premier league. Leicester is better off in the Champions league riding on a Saturdau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestGorton1884 621 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I'm hopeful we will sign a rider like Drabik ....Not sure what average he would be though ? Edited October 6, 2017 by WestGorton1884 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted October 6, 2017 They are looking at getting a pole over so drabik is an option. Would be great to see him. Have a big hit feeling Chris holder will be here. Something like Bjerre Drabik Holder Bewley Cook Smith JPB/bickley. Weak reserves but means extra points for top 5. Think is I'd love fricke and Worrall back. I'm glad I'm not picking the team. It's going to be a winter of going with your heart or with your head. The team could be anything. We have near enough kept the same team give or take a few riders for 3 years, each time failing to win play offs so maybe just maybe this is the year for a fresh start 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestGorton1884 621 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) We need to take that final step , ideally by signing riders who can actually ride Monmore Green Because in all likelihood thats where we'll be headed . So would Chris Holder be an option ? When does his ban end , and what average would he have? Edited October 6, 2017 by WestGorton1884 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted October 6, 2017 We need to take that final step , ideally by signing riders who can actually ride Monmore Green Because in all likelihood thats where we'll be headed . Your recent history at Monmore is superb, if you look at the league meetings. So you have riders who clearly ride the green very well. You just don't seem to handle pressure in the play offs, which is a completely different thing to signing riders that go well at Monmore. Something in the DNA of the riders or manager seems to be the issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luck got you through but marginally luck could have got us through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
