dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 14, 2018 That goes against a post made by Neil Watson on another thread where he says assessed averages still allowed just that min in Prem will be 3 IE Drew may be a 2 in Championship but would have to be a 3 in Premiership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted November 14, 2018 Don’t think it really matter too much either way. As you rightly said earlier, a season too early for the Premiership. Let him ride the Championship for the next step of his progression, and watch his progress closely. Then maybe later in the season or a team spot in 2020. Unless of course Buster has other plans for him... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted November 15, 2018 Maybe when Chris finally walks away from Ipswich he could be the man to start the independent body to control speedway. No ties to any club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted November 15, 2018 Wonder if Jarek might fancy another stint over here? In the Autumn of his career, no GP’s and less fixtures than he rode in the past. Still a very capable rider and was riding superbly again at the end of this season after his injury troubles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nowhere near the amount of fixtures compared to when he last rode here, and no GP’s either. I take Taps’ point, but he’d still be one of the better number ones in the league. Hes still levels above the likes of Andersen and Nicholls imo. Sure id rather someone like Jason Doyle, but if he opts to go elsewhere who can we get in to spearhead the side? We should be asking Guy Nicholls for extra help in persuading Doyle to pitch in at Foxhall. Loves his Speedway does Guy and he might be willing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair I see your point on Jarek, still think it’s unlikely, I think we have a good shout at getting doyley if he wants to come, has always gone very well at Foxhall too! for me whatever the team ends up being I just hope it’s built with a view to being unbeatable at home we lost way too many home meetings last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted November 15, 2018 What about Zagar? I know he hasn’t ridden for you before. But with no Sweden for him yet and most likely not at all. I doubt BV get him with Cook and Fricke the 1/5 combo at that team. Zagar would be a good choice and with no Leicester in the league(Zagar hates it there). Would fit with his schedule as well.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 15, 2018 In Zagar and Harris you have named 2 riders that traditionally asked for large guarantees and have gone missing when they have a bit of a strop so I would be wary of signing either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 749 Posted November 15, 2018 Not sure of bomber - don’t think he’s as good around Foxhall as several riders on lower averages...I guess maybe hasn’t ridden there as mich as others while we’ve been in division below, to be honest with the suggestion of Zagar I still had him in my head head as second heat leader behind an out and out no.1 such as doyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted November 15, 2018 Looks a clever little plan Buster has put together, buy up two teams and generate plenty of local derbies, entice travelling supporters and have the basis for a breakaway league should everything else go belly up. Im guessing the completion of the Mildenhall deal hasn't gone through yet or they will be Championship this year and Prem next? Either way at Ipswich the first name on the sheet id be looking for is Kennett who must be on a bargain average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
