TheMessiahOfTheBSF 84 Posted December 3, 2019 Phil The Ace is right. From the Swedish thread. Greg Hancock cannot commit to a Swedish club for 2020 due to family reasons. Therefore highly unlikely he can commit to Britain for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJWolves 82 Posted December 3, 2019 Dave Parry has extended his sponsorship on the basis of being happy with the team plans, Knowing Dave I think he would have expressed his displeasure if those plans were to have a weaker team than last season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is probably a case of the seven riders they really want within their budget and they must feel that the vast majority of them can improve their averages. You could certainly make a case for all of the bottom four to improve quite a bit. It would be interesting to see who people can name as sensible / realistic names who could have been signed instead of any of the named seven to make the team closer to the limit and look stronger on paper.

DC2 11,150 Posted December 3, 2019 Or Hans Andersen instead of Nicol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJWolves 82 Posted December 3, 2019 Lindgren or Iversen instead of Masters or Thorsell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted December 3, 2019 Andersen or Nicholls replacing Howarth would have strengthened Wolves and made them favourites. But Nicol for Howarth weakens them by two points. It’s bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted December 3, 2019 I’m not necessarily saying I agree with their team building if Masters and Thorssell sign but I can understand it to an extent.....there is no improvement in most of those riders named whereas Becker, Douglas and Nicol are all full of potential and you could make a case for Morris sorting himself out. I don’t think a ‘big’ name number one was ever likely either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree with Becker, Douglas and Nicol(not fussed about the other 4)but the problem is,as seen in the past at Monmore,fans vote with their feet if things aren't going to plan.

So in similar vein, would you be happy for Jordan Stewart to come in on a 4 for Kings Lynn and replace Palm Toft (6.3), just because he has some potential?
