arnieg 3,624 Posted January 18, 2022 8 hours ago, Col said: A 17 year old German with no British experience on a 4.00 average. Risky. I hope the lad has a Championship club lined up. Fricke will probably top the averages, decent back.up in the form of Wright & Kurtz, Brennan will improve. Think Aces need a couple of solid middle order scorers. A 17 year old who's world under 21 final performances are, for his age, better than: Zmarzlik Dudek Pawlicki Janowski Kubera Smektala ...should do ok 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely a good prospect and a snip on his average. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhilTheAce 498 Posted January 18, 2022 Well we're down to 5 riders, 2 to go. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the team so far. We have 13.02 left for 2 riders. Who would your last 2 riders from this list be Rasmus jensen -7.86 Kenny bjerre - 7.96 NKI -7.75 Thorsell -7.33 Josh G - 7.00 KK - 6.96 Zagar -7.52 Holder -7 14 (if persuaded to drop swe) Tungate - 6.53 BWD - 5.47 Nicol - 5 23 Allen - 4.80 Jye - 5.22 Barker - 5.33 Fred jakobsen - 5.04 Huckenbeck - 5.66 Other honourable mentions are, lebedevs,milik, jeppeson, but highly unlikely them. The 2 I'd choose are holder and huckenbeck. Remember it wouldn't be a disaster to go with 2 5 pointers, yes we will start weak but it's not how u start a season. Its how u finish. And we will have plenty of points to play with to make changes if and when needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,018 Posted January 18, 2022 Anyone who tries to sign KK is on plan W imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillipsr 2,053 Posted January 18, 2022 Rasmus Jensen would be a great signing IMO if you could get him and Allen think its a decent side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,761 Posted January 18, 2022 Huckenbeck would be a very good signing on his average if he can be persuaded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedtiger 327 Posted January 18, 2022 12 hours ago, PotteringAround said: Wrong again. The Belle Vue company directors are William Anthony Rice and Robin Simon Southwell. They're the people responsible for the club. But in more interesting matters, Blodorn looks like a decent signing. Good to see a young newcomer coming to British Speedway. He seems to be quite a prospect. Wrong again. The Belle Vue company directors are William Anthony Rice and Robin Simon Southwell. They're the people responsible for the club. Ok but you are splitting hairs…I didn’t say he is a company director I said he a director (speedway) of the club and that means he’s responsible for running the club along with side kick Smith. The success or failure and the enormous losses is 100% down to them to. And as I’ve said before after 5 years of failure they should be given the boot. But we will see.

Falcon1983 557 Posted January 18, 2022 I dont want to take a massive dump on the belle Vue bonfire but surely most the names on the first list would have made themselves available and signed to ride now so they could arrange mechanics, sponsors etc. Of course unless something breaks that is in place elsewhere? The bottom list I can see potentially any 2 completing the team but it will be way under but it's all about what a rider scores this year not last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
