Boothers 223 Posted April 11, 2017 Quite happy with this signing purely because it wasn't 'the usual suspects'. Had a similar thing happened this time last year the new signing would have been guaranteed to have been one of two riders. Good luck to Coty as a Bear and lets make it as difficult to bring Toby back as possible (if you know what I mean). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,907 Posted April 12, 2017 Coty has top equipment now he struggled at the individual meeting mainly because he had only got off a plane a few days earlierand only ridden a bike once ( the week before he came back from argentina) dew to letting last years injury heal ,and his new bikes seat was way to low which did not feel right for him having just built it the night before don't think there will be a loan fee as pretty sure berwick don't own him any more and he invested every single penny he earned last year into equipment for this year Be assured he is a Bandits asset, and the loan fee accrues to Shielfield Park. Berwick club were happy to help get him fixed up, and Redcar have very nicely acknowledged the co-operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted April 12, 2017 Would've been nice to see the Bears give a Brit a go in the shape of Ben Morley. His average isn't that much lower than Garcia's and he's probably on better kit too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben91 1,743 Posted April 12, 2017 Morley was very poor in his previous stint. National League level is all He is up to. He's a better rider now than when he was last with you. He needs to have a good season somewhere in the Championship too if he has any ambitions of returning to Rye House in the Premiership next season or later this year.

ch958 2,395 Posted April 12, 2017 couldn't Bukhave have fitted in? Not that i'm complaining at Garcia, just a question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Max 216 Posted April 12, 2017 couldn't Bukhave have fitted in? Not that i'm complaining at Garcia, just a question Seems odd when he wouldn't have cost a loan fee, and everyone is saying how well he is now going. Could have put him in the shop window and maybe generated some income! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 12, 2017 Hopefully Garcia will do well. He knows the STMP anyway. Fingers crossed for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boz 316 Posted April 13, 2017 He was useless last season. Why would you possibly want him back? Whilst not saying he would have been the answer, he looks to have improved massively from last season. Certainly in his couple of outings at the MPA this season he has looked a lot more assured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
