Mr Blobby 2,701 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I don't know what you class as a wobblers but the riders he beat are far from that. okay then riders who are not very good Edited December 22, 2014 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTC38L 79 Posted December 22, 2014 But if he's only average 5 why would they want to bring him back on a 7 on the basis of a state final result.he will be on the average he has gained. okay then riders who are not very good and you base that on what?

SCB 15 Posted December 22, 2014 he will be on the average he has gained. Where do you get that from? It was certainly not the case until the BSPA started to ignore the UKBA in recent years. It all started with Chris Kerr and nobody paid any attention to me when I said it would cause problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YAMYAMBANDIT 560 Posted December 22, 2014 In 2013 all the changes were forced on us due to injury and all the changes that came with that In 2012 as you say we used 17 riders, of those 17 10 of them were injured at some point during the season and we also made some big errors with signings at the start of the season and had to sack Filip Sitera after a handful of meetings to fit in replacements once again a lot of these changes were forced In 2011 we had 3 riders who were replaced by injury and the other changes were getting rid of Tamas Sike why we signed him in the first place who knows and we replaced Charlie Gjedde who was garbage and was in the team for far too long in 2010 6 of our 10 riders were injured at some point during the season forcing changes again in 2009 we only had one injured rider but we also let William Lawson stay for way too long. Every one knew that Gjedde was at Berwick simply so he could double up for Belle Vue, and really wanted to bet Newport, he was rubbish for a reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scunny1 436 Posted December 22, 2014 To the TJ doubters don't worry he has scored many vital match winning points over several seasons. I for one will miss him at the EWR next season ,never gives up and good to watch, our loss is your gain. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 918 Posted December 22, 2014 Have to agree having Speedway is the main thing. sorry but no club should settle for just having speedway if its not entertaining theres no point and the promotors are taking the micky out of the paying public Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,484 Posted December 22, 2014 sorry but no club should settle for just having speedway if its not entertaining theres no point and the promotors are taking the micky out of the paying public The Promotions can only sign 7 riders who they think will entertain and prepare a decent track,I don't count that as taking the micky it's the riders that do that at times,then the Promotion have act IMO . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therein lies one of the unfortunate, unpredictable elements of speedway. You can build a great team, but you also need a bit of luck with injuries. I'll not even go down the Gjedde path Last year it could be argued we went with Carr too long, however, many people want to see young British riders given a fair crack at things. We did the right thing giving him a long run last season. I suppose my point is that there needs to be a balance between being utterly ruthless and overly loyal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,484 Posted December 22, 2014 Are you trying to tell me they are decenet riders?If you asked British fans to name every Aussie rider they know I doubt any of the riders he beat at Kurri Kurri would get a mention (this is not a slight on Jake just an observation). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
