KEITH M 850 Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Scott Nicholls signs on 2 year contract.That doesn't mean anything... Bjarne Pedersen signed a 2 year contract with Birmingham couple of years ago and what happens if he has a crap season :-) Edited December 1, 2014 by KEITH M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,200 Posted December 1, 2014 Great to have him back. His average away from home was one of the better ones so he was a must for this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted December 1, 2014 That doesn't mean anything... Bjarne Pedersen signed a 2 year contract with Birmingham couple of years ago and what happens if he has a crap season :-) Pedersen decided that Birmingham was not for him at the start of his 1st season for them.Difference is Scott rode for belle vue last season and must be happy there.If not why would he sign up for another 2 years.If he has a bad season like any signing could do then he will drop to a second string the year after where i would think he will do a great job.Or if he turns over night into a real donkey then bye bye, all riders sign contracts but it does not stop clubs letting them go does it.

stevebrum 6,834 Posted December 1, 2014 No surprise that Scotty is staying with the Aces. Is it looking like a similar side to 2014 tho? Assuming Zagar and Cookie stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionheart 86 Posted December 1, 2014 I think next years team will have the same top 3 of Zagar Nicholls and Cook I hope not ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark.1 57 Posted December 1, 2014 Inside info?No just my guess so will be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted December 1, 2014 No surprise that Scotty is staying with the Aces. Is it looking like a similar side to 2014 tho? Assuming Zagar and Cookie stay. I think there will be some continuity with Zagar, Nicholls, Nielsen and hopefully, Cook back. The question will be whether Cook is the third heat leader or, a second string. No question he would improve his average as a second string but I think he will move on and improve even if a heat leader. Last year he faced tougher rides, which affected his average but this year he can continue the swift progress he has made since he started. I think we have a good reserve pairing, unlike last year when we had one of the worst and if we can sign Fricke and someone with a slightly higher average than Cook asa heatleader, we shall have a good season. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acef 795 Posted December 2, 2014 Zagar Fricke Nicholls Kylmakorpi Watt Worrall Nielsen I think we could see something like that. I'd like cook back as a 2nd string, but I think he needs a change of scenery and will get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.V 72 1,054 Posted December 2, 2014 That's what I said, contracts mean nothing True but this day and age in the speedway world its nice to see a rider that is willing to show loyalty to a club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
