thebaron 434 Posted July 27, 2015 Rob dropped a hint that the injuries to Josh and Ben might precipitate team changes. That is not just replacing Ben but maybe also bringing in a new face instead of running guest/rider rep for Josh. I think it would be fair to bring back Ellis Perks for Ben. Ellis looks in great form for National League Cradley and was unlucky to lose his reserve place at Scunny earlier in the season. Personally I am happy for Tommy the Gun to come in where he can for Josh. But if we decided on permanent fix till the end of season for Josh; I am scratching my head a bit. Any thoughts ?

phillwhitewasmad 1,487 Posted July 27, 2015 Bradley Wilson dean and klindt would be my choice or An unknown swede or Dane with the view to running next year we are only racing for pride now so nothing to lose Also got to add even though the results have not been great the racing has been top notch fine line between winning and losing on britans fairest and most exciting track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 15 Posted July 27, 2015 Would bringing in an unknown be a good idea? Generally you'd say "use them next year on a new better average" but if Scunny bring in a struggler, crowds will drop and there will be no "next year" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullet 72 Posted July 27, 2015 Would bringing in an unknown be a good idea? Generally you'd say "use them next year on a new better average" but if Scunny bring in a struggler, crowds will drop and there will be no "next year" would using guests instead be any better?? at least it would be a regular rider fans can at least get behind. Looking at new green sheets we have a team total of 40.82 and Josh is now 8.00 and Ben 4.82 so lookslike upto 14.5 for 2 riders. Rob could always go out on a bang and use a 3pt rider and someone upto 11.5!! not that there is any of them but would allow virtually anyone to be signed!! Or in reality BWD on a 5pt would still leave 9.5 so again anyone really but as suggested possibly a raw foreign recruit with a possible eye on next season if we go ahead but again not that there are many of those out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,487 Posted July 27, 2015 Seems like you have been doing the same maths as me Alex love the idea of getting some one for next year not bothered about gaining an average it's the track time in the UK that's invaluable can't wait for Sunday's next year 6.30 few beers good racing and a winning side.
