Marky_Mark 55 Posted February 26 But Plymouth have to have somebody…. If you don’t want Kennett, don’t want BWD and all the other possibles are in Poland then what other options do you have? Maybe drop a reserve and sign 2 x 6 pointers instead? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King of the Boeotians 5 Posted February 27 Given the choice I suspect the majority of fans would rather see a strong team capable of reaching the play offs, than a weak team who would regularly get thrashed. Even if this meant abandoning the Saturday race night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would completely agree, at the start of the season you get the fans even if the team looks weak but as the season progresses, the fans will dwindle unless you have a competitive team especially if they start losing their home meetings.

Although there is a slight problem of some riders signing up to a Swedish team on a Tuesday now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if this meant abandoning the Saturday race night. But is there any rider available that would turn this team into a play-offs chasing team? 99% of (non Plymouth) fans had them down for bottom with Covatti. Not seen any suggestions of a rider that fits who is a big improvement on Covatti. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted February 27 Putting 2 and 2 together Always dangerous but... Lewy has enquired about Danny Phillips average. Was told it was 2.01. Jusr supposing they binned Jacob Hook 4.00 Wouls allow 10.23 by my calculation to get a bid hitter with 1.99 saving plus Covatti average and the 0.48 they were under the limit with Covatti. A 10.23 rider if they could find one, more likely on a Tuesday, would upset the proverbial applecart ??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marky_Mark 55 Posted February 27 It would be extremely harsh to drop any rider at this stage but if there are genuinely no 8 point riders then what choice do they have? Can’t assume that it would be Hook making way though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosty 500 Posted February 27 In the last few seasons Plymouth have shocked a few with the signing of Pedersen, Crump & Andersen. So lets wait & see who Gary & Mark can get to put their name on the dotted line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if there was a viable option it would have been done by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
