Any team that takes an offseason to announce is a patch up , in my books,she might be building for next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilTheAce 498 Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) This wasn't really the signing to get the juices flowing, this is just filling up the rest of the averages. Lebedevs, tungate, zagar, bjerre can still fill that last spot, but also could nicol, allen, bwd. OUCH... Don't think we will get anyone before the craven meeting, so sit tight and keep our fingers crossed. Edited March 13, 2022 by PhilTheAce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Great reserve but as a 1 to 5 rider oops .With peoples disposable income taking a massive hit i fear this years team will put speedway lower on their list of where to spend it. I m o this is the poorest team we have had since we moved to the NSS and it could not have happened at a worse time Edited March 13, 2022 by B.V 72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted March 13, 2022 Interesting comments from Jye in the press release. “My main aim is to put a few more points on my average to get into the main body of the team and hopefully stay there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Lemon has grasped that Blodorn and Brennan will start at reserve. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comparing to last year..... Fricke is a like-for-like replacement for Bewley. Kurtz, Wright, Brennan and Etheridge are the same people. So the comparison is that you think Lebedevs and Blodorn are much poorer than Worrall and Worrall? I'm not sure I'd agree. I'd suggest they may be stronger.... Last year BV finished runners-up to Peterborough. But while BV are stronger this year, Pbro are weaker due to experienced super-reserve Pedersen being replaced by inexperienced Basso, and all the other old-guard being another year older. The only problem is that some of the other 4 teams may be stronger, and I'd say that applies mainly to Sheffield. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fricke is ahead of Bewley currently so it could be argued that the team is stronger... all depends who the final rider is. 4 hours ago, PhilTheAce said: Or blodorn is not in the team no more You expecting him to be replaced by someone with a higher average than Etheridge then?

speed29 19 Posted March 13, 2022 maybe zagar i don't mind which riders will be in belle vue aces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser 120 Posted March 13, 2022 I don’t think the Belle Vue side is at all bad when compared to others…a lot depends on the final rider and if that’s ok then it’s an incredibly good and attractive team in my book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
