Beowulf 1,513 Posted July 13, 2015 Everyone seems to be looking for new homes apart from us, yet we have one year left!! Even as a Wolves fan (long time), I have to say that it will be sad to lose Brandon. I think that I am right in saying that they are the only remaining club that have raced at the same stadium, in the same league continuously since 1965. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beesboybert 95 Posted July 14, 2015 Agree. Bjarne Pedersen would not strengthen the team at all, home or away. He's been shocking and does missing against Poole If we could fit him in for Robbo he strengthens us up no end. He gets a bit of stick, but thats mainly due to the expectations we have as him as a heatleader. As a second string he'd be a great signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think it will happen though, I'm not sure he wants to ride over here. Michelsen looked good in Sweden last night and he fits too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think it will happen though, I'm not sure he wants to ride over here. Michelsen looked good in Sweden last night and he fits too. I think the point is, there are plenty of high 5 to mid-6 pointers out there. If our management really want to, they can sign one on August 28th (I think thats the last day for changes) so that Robbo gets as long as possible in the team, keeps costs down as long as possible but we're then ready for the play-offs that start 2-3 weeks later. The changes would then be for the last 2 EL meetings and the play-offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm not fussed about them waiting but whether they will actually do it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj350z 2,266 Posted July 15, 2015 Well if we don't it will say a lot about our promotion and their ambition, or total lack of it. Very easy to say when you are stood on the terraces and haven't got to come up with the money to finance the change! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Very easy to say when you are stood on the terraces and haven't got to come up with the money to finance the change! if the club cannot afford a 6 point man for 6 meetings - 2 of them being bumper play-off pay days. Then I'd say the club is screwed! With Lakesides season over on August 31st (last meeting at Brandon) it might even be possible to get one of Lawson or Bech - hardly going to cost the Earth as they're already based here.

Game On 1,117 Posted July 15, 2015 Very easy to say when you are stood on the terraces and haven't got to come up with the money to finance the change! Anyone would think we are trying to Tempt Greg or Emil back not a second string. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naffer 442 Posted July 15, 2015 That would seem a very sensible move late on robbo gets a full season more or less and we get a Boost for the play offs. I like Michelsen who is flying in Sweden at the moment but Bech would be equally good and would form a great opening pair with bomber. Up the bees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted July 15, 2015 So who is better Bees or Wasps? Fight!! One things for sure, someone is going to get stung!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Superb bit of news, I suggested it earlier in the thread. Wasps will build a new training complex in the City in the next few years it would be interesting if it can incorporate a track for us on the site. It would give them that bit of extra revenue. Just at a promotion level it's a good bit of business, Wasps are excellent at it. Edited July 16, 2015 by woz01 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
