There is NO profit and loss account filed at Companies House. As a micro company they don't have to file one, and they haven't. All that is filed is an abbreviated balance sheet which gives minimal information, and certainly doesn't show profit or loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOpinion 16 Posted November 28, 2019 Mark Lemon just confirmed on BV YouTube that Max and Bjerre are both giving Britain a miss this year. Also spoke of another signing he's very excited about. Mentioned that we were close to signing him last year, and he ended up having a very good season - probably Wright? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coldace 110 Posted November 28, 2019 My view on what Mark Lemon said about Bjerre was that he couldn't commit to the start of the season. It may be possible that he is available later in the season. Just a thought, but if Kildermand doesn't work out or intends not to stay all season, then maybe Bjerre replaces him later. Who knows? With Kurtz, I think he is at a similar stage of development as Fricke was 2017 and see know reason why he can't make the same progress as Max has. He'll certainly have a consistently good track to do it on. I'm looking forward to watching him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 537 Posted November 28, 2019 Charles Wright on 6.68 would be an absolute steal !!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted November 28, 2019 He became British Champion at the NSS so he certainly knows how to ride the NSS. I wouldn't describe him as a steal on his current average but I think he is still improving and will certainly increase his current average. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charles Wright I believe is 31, which is not the end of the world. But certainly you couldn't expect a huge improvement at this age, so would this be a case of the average fits ? To refer to the earlier question would you be signing him for home form alone ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His average is only 6.68 and there is plenty of potential to put two points on his average Edited November 28, 2019 by Gunner85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Last year, at the age of 30, he increased his PL average by 1.5 points. That shows he is still capable of improvement. He also showed in both the British Final and the Cardiff GP that he can now mix it at a higher level than he has previously shown. I would see him as a signing that could do well both at home and away. He isn't one of those riders who have a significant difference in their home and away averages. There was only 0.75 between them last year and I see no reason to think that any improvement this year will not be reflected across both of those averages.

But would you expect any further improvement on his average ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it a tax dodge? A company belle Vues size does not have to publish company accounts and it's clear that they don't. Also there is absolutely no chance they are losing anywhere near 500k a year.

Aces51 2,778 Posted November 28, 2019 I think he will improve again next year because a big part of speedway is confidence and his successes last year should mean he starts next season feeling very confident. However, it's a matter of opinion. I think I saw enough in him last year to think that he has not yet reached his peak but I've seen too many riders have a good season and then stand still, or even go backwards, to know that you can never be sure.
