As class as Chris Holder has been and Is still a good rider. He’s not a good signing on that average. 37 been the limit will they go for Etheridge at reserve again on a 3.00? -
To be fair, Poole do have a different fanbase to the Aces, and have shown "success" keeps them attending, and "no success" sees them drift away, hence those who run it know their business well, and try to ensure their fanbase is given every reason to keep attending .. The Aces do have a pretty decent "hardcore" who have attended down the years, regularly, each season regardless of the level of teams put out, (and a fair few have been dire). and not having to lay out for Bewley/Doyle will also help the coffers I would think, and, just as long they win most meetings at home they will maintain that 1200/1300 or so who attend each week.. It certainly is a track that provides significant home advantage when riders get dialled in, with visitors usually taking several races to find the set up, and some never actually finding it!!... Fourth is as good as first, so building a team that does that will be the priority this season I would imagine, with the end of the season being often very different than the start, rider wise from team to team due to injuries... -
It won't make any difference to his improvement imo, not at his age, hes gone for the £££££, which is fine. I thank Dan for everything but I wish him no luck riding for a rival 😂 -
I take your point Phil. I also wholeheartedly agree that the loyalty shown by Lemmo is both unusual and to be appluaded. It can only help persuade riders to sign for the Aces as they will get a fair crack of the whip. Mulford got plenty of time. We're not Poole. I think you point about Klindt adapting to riding the NSS each week is right. Seem to remember Zak took a while to get dialed in. The only point I'd like to make is that there are, and have been, certain riders who are 'built' to ride our track. Bjerre, Ben Cook, Tungate, Batchelor (in earlier days), and having someone like Tungate to rely on in Heats 13 and 15 might be a way to go. I seem to remember it took quite a while for Brady to become as good around the NSS as he is now so giving riders time to work it out is sensible Whatever happens I'm sure we will compete and hopefully get in to the final. Remember it could be worse, I recall the season Morton and Gordon took over at the dog track and the the scamble to get seven guys who could ride a bike to become the Aces! How far we have come! -

Dan confirmed his intention to sit out the UK this coming season in the Ipswich press release. It’s something we have know for some time and respected. The chance however to become the highest paid team man in British league history (not allowing for inflation) was too big a gift horse to pass up, so fair play to him. I posted that he would likely phone in his performance but that was a disservice to Dan who will try his best no matter who he has to ride for. My only hope is that Ipswich work their magic again and take a talented ex Aces reserve, knock a chunk off his average then drop him like a hot potato for someone else to reap the benefit. Christ, they even turned Jason into a seven point odd man before we returned him to a near nine point man. The advantage of riding for a prestigious club and having fun again.
