KIRKYLANE 537 Posted October 25, 2015 Whatever happens , with or without Zagar , Belle Vue will put out the strongest team they can with a view to getting to the play offs again and hopefully going one step further. With the new stadium and a new era starting then we have to hope that everything will start to move onwards and upwards. To start with there is a minimum 32 meetings in 2016 !!!

jimmy jimmy 298 Posted October 25, 2015 Looks like there will be a few potential number 1 riders avoiding EL next year, time for the next generation to step up.... Craig Cook can be 8.5 rider next season definitely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepsi 0 Posted October 25, 2015 Noticed on the Belle Vue Army site that Zagar will not be riding in the UK 2016. Nothing as yet from the Official site. Anyone with any further info ? No UK fo Zagar in 2016. At leat he say so... he said there in no improvement for him in UK anymore and he'll race in sweden instead. That gaves him a new challenge and it's much better logistically... here is the slovenian interview : http://www.mediaspeed.net/galerija/dogodki/12491-zagar-sesti-na-svetu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradford Ace 183 Posted October 26, 2015 Yep, completely screws us up does this. I just hope he informed the management of this a few weeks ago to give them plenty of notice re team building as with him in the side on that average we would only have had to change 1 rider if we wanted to go with the majority of the riders from this season. Now if we dont get a like for like average wise it may mean we have to drop one of Nicholls, Cook or Fricke. Shame AJ has gone to Lakeside as he would have been ideal. Cant see many No 1's out there that would be available on an 8 point average so may well be Cook at No1 & pack the middle order with 6 point men?? Unless we can pull a rabbit out of a hat from somewhere?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted October 26, 2015 someone like vaculik or lindback would be the best option if tgey came on say a 7.5. othrrwise aim to get someone like freddie lindgren? would allow either a strong 2nd string alongside fricke, or both worralls perhsps at reserve, though thatcwould be harsh on stef.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) So all Zagar's b/s about wanting to stay at BV for the new stadium was exactly that then?? B/S!! Still I expect KK will love it!! Edited October 26, 2015 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted October 26, 2015 othrrwise aim to get someone like freddie lindgren? Yes of course, it's not like Wolves need any riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy jimmy 298 Posted October 26, 2015 Well Matej won't be there so we need to get someone else. We either try and get Lindback or someone like that or go with Cook Nicholls Fricke Grazonek Worral X 2 and maybe Schlein or Bjerre?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted October 27, 2015 Yes of course, it's not like Wolves need any riders. i thought you all wanted rid of him after his drop in average this seasin? just like kl with bjerre, swindon with batch, civentry with hans etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We either try and get Lindback or someone like that or go with Cook Nicholls Fricke Grazonek Worral X 2 and maybe Schlein or Bjerre??That latter option doesn't quite fit. What would lindback come in on? If 7.5 you could have him and Thomsen to join cook nicholls fricke and worrallx2. Though u could only protect one worrall in the draft so may struggle to get both,?

We would be crazy to let him go. And any other teams would be crazy for thinking they had a chance of signing him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABS 231 Posted October 27, 2015 Lindback would be a good option if he wants to ride here. Would like it to be Emil, but don't think there's much chance of that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 27, 2015 What average would Lindback come back on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 27, 2015 What average would Lindback come back on? His last official average was 7.94. His 6 meeting intermediary average was about 4.5 and his 11 meetings that season were about 6.5. So take your pick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) If there are no big heat leaders out there to replace Zagar C Cook 7.29 M Fricke 6.11 S Nicholls 6.48 M Michelsen 5.67 T Batchelor 6.91 (perhaps Mark Lemon could help get his head back on track) S Worrall 4.82 A N Other 3.00 40.28 A good few riders that should have the potential to up their averages. Would like a top no1 but with the heat leader shortage this sort of team may be the only way to go. Edited October 27, 2015 by B.V 72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
