So few alternatives of his quality available. Surely 7 men better than RR or weaker team. I think much will depend on Covatti and his return from injury, the management are clearly keen to stick by him when he is fit so if he could get fit by the start of May it’s a case of seeing if someone could agree a one month deal. I think the shout of moving things to a Tuesday through April would make sense if it meant a rider like Riss would sign on for that month. From the clubs perspective, giving away meetings by having a poor guest at number 1 wouldn’t be good for business. On that note would we get a guest facility? 8 possible meetings until the end of April would surely be attractive to someone!!

jbell1995 114 Posted March 19 Just 11 days to go until the first meeting and still no news, doesn't sound promising Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,101 Posted March 19 Hope Plymouth can pull the rabbit out the hat with a strong replacement, it’s the least the fans deserve. Best travelling fans I saw at Glasgow by a distance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see Covatti back on a bike before the end of the summer, there were some really bad breaks for him. Not sure if it would be a laugh or cry moment.

HGould 2,213 Posted March 20 Birmingham have g got a Guest facility for a newly injured rider. Id imagine Plymouth may seek the same if they can evidence Covatti can be back by May. Guests far better than RR for a month in my opinion. Having said that, I vecjust cancelled an Easter week break in Exmouth as weather forecast next week is dire. Late Booking to Portugal is safer weather wise and not much more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you are talking about Nicholls for Pawlicki and as far as I'm aware he's a temporary signing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 620 Posted March 20 This weeks speedway star...... Edward Kennet is ready to return "The day I retire, I will announce it properly and I won't ride again. But I still believe I can go to that start line and beat quite a few riders. I can get back to it." It may be two years since Edward Kennett last raced competitively, but he has no thoughts of quitting just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
