Pogo1 288 Posted January 19, 2017 He's not got a clue, watched him two years ago at Belle Vue v Swindon when Cook got ex under two min in his first ride, he replaced him with a reserve, then in Cooks last race he touched the tapes, Lemon then tried to replace him with Worrall which the ref allowed and Rosco didn't object, after a false start the ref then realised Cook hadn't completed his 3 programmed rides and told Lemon to bring him back in, Cook was in the shower lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also remember ever other TM mistakes well. It happens, he was new to the game. Experience managers make mistakes. The rule book is so hard to understand nowadays. Mark Lemon = 2 years at club, 2 play off finals. I think that speaks volumes 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 19, 2017 He was one of the original investors but as he been involved at arms length??? And was involved when John Perrin was 'in charge'. Goes a long way back with the Aces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted January 19, 2017 which leaves Bewley and a 2 pointer to fit....That would be the ideal team imo. Noone would get near them at home, would struggle away but that top four would still see them pick up points. Play off contenders for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,988 Posted January 19, 2017 If Coventry dont take to the track(which i'm fairly sure most fans hope they do) then maybe Danny King could be heading towards Belle Vue, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 860 Posted January 20, 2017 Zagar won't be allowed to cripple wage Ace's wage bill. The Ace's will be Fricke, Cooke & Worralls. Plus whatever else they can fit in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestGorton1884 621 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) TBH I'm hoping we're stronger than Cook , Fricke and the Worrall twins Edited January 20, 2017 by WestGorton1884 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted January 20, 2017 Which is exactly the rider clubs need. Win at home and 95% of your fan base will be happy. Anything you do away is a bonus. Get the home wins in. It's stupid winning 3 or 4 away meetings but losing 4 or 5 at home.Quite agree in the good old days😅how many lower end riders were homer riders quite a few.If you can win all your home meetings and try and pick up points away anything you get is a bonus.

IronScorpion 1,408 Posted January 20, 2017 I agree. Zagar will not be there in 2017 as the new promotion have to have funds to pay last years wage bill plus the ongoing fiasco with the £10,000 a month bill for the temporary South Stand(why on earth last years promotion agreed to that after all the other problems, they must have known it was going to be difficult to balance the books). It has, also, been stated that last years team, or most of them, have been waiting for answers & not getting fixed up elsewhere. A team, therefore of Cook, Fricke, Worrall twins, Jacob could be kept on with Bewley(an asset) & possibly Auty(previous EL history) as a team(if averages fit) not with top end power but strength in depth, similar to Somerset.

speedy bill 154 Posted January 20, 2017 Who has said that Mark Lemon is not returning, hope Jack Lee does not get involved, he screwed things up at Sheffield when team manager there. I hope Mark does return, he did a good job Can you let me know just how did Jack Lee screw up at Sheffield,most Sheffield people i spoke to were sorry to see him go.I think he did a great job at Sheffield 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPD444 112 Posted January 20, 2017 Why, surely you would like to know who's running your club, i mean for all you know Matt Ford maybe running it now !! Careful what you speculate about Mr Starman2006. I am sure Mr Ford would love the NSS and he would certainly get it marketed properly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) It's not matt ford so dont worry starry It's a very astute businessman who if what I'm told is correct he as leased the whole stadium and not just the track on race nights which is what the other potential new owners wanted to do Edited January 20, 2017 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
