  1. Friendly, he will only entertain a £2K bet.
  2. Was is the word you have to bear in mind with Gjedde. He is now 35 years old. The last three seasons his career reads. 2013 injured missed entire season 2014 6.49 average in DSL (Kenneth Hansen (2014) and Ulrich Ostergaard (2015) are the closest comparisons) 2015 retired. Not the most active or impressive riding career in the last 3 seasons. A half decent third heatleader/ 2nd string, but a number 1 averaging 9 points sorry I don't see it myself. Fortunately Plymouth have a couple of young riders in Holder and Newman who have the potential to go on a push hard for the number 1 slot at Plymouth.
  3. Surely Jake Allen will need to have finished in the top 4 of a State Championship to qualify for a visa to ride over.
  4. Please to see Ty has got the qualification for his visa. Have we made the right decision not waiting for the result and bringing Ty back to the club. That remains to be seen.
  5. Not bad line up for Plymouth so far, but does anyone know anything about Gjedde more recent form. What is his recent form. Where has he been riding for the last season. Looks to me that he has been pretty inactive since a bad crash in Denmark a few years ago.
  6. Rode Poland last season, so would imagine that he will be riding there this coming season.
  7. that would suggest that some of the big names mentioned by some of the Panthers fans is out of the equation.
  8. Probably a side swipe at the clubs who have select riders who have Premier League experience. Berwick; Liam Carr Plymouth; Ellis Perks Rye House; Ben Morley Peterborough; Tom Perry Sheffield; Nathan Greaves Workington; Matt Williamson.
  9. 7.56 actually, he finished up been Birmingham's number 1 rider, above Doyle, Harris and King.
  10. I make no secret in the fact that I personally would have waited to see what happened with Ty regarding the State Championships, but I can also understand the Promotion been wary of the fact that it could all blow up in their faces if he was to fail, last season they lost two riders to visa problems, and if Ty did happen to fail then could be faced with losing out other riders or taking a rider that would not be suitable.
  11. Has anyone mentioned Charlie Gjedde would fit in with the Danish Panthers.
  12. Hopefully they can, I suppose it also depends upon those who collate the fixtures as well.
  13. It looks to me as though Kyle Howarth is Sheffield bound, which is a bit of a surprise as I thought he was nailed on to be at Somerset. But looking at what the Wolverhampton said about not re signing Josh Bates because Kyle is signing for a Premier League club that rides on a Thursdays fits in with the clues that the club is saying. Berge would make a perfect fit with a team that would add up to 42.49. If it is Kyle Howarth the club have been very shrewd as with Workington owning Kyle's contract we will have first call on his services which means with the exception we will have first call on all of our riders with the exception of Jason Garrity. If that is the team then I would be very happy if, if not well have not got a Scooby who will make up the last two places.
  14. Amazing list of what he has won in the PL....... PLRC, Scottish Open, Pairs, Fours, League Cup, KO Cup, League, not to mention the Spring Trophy. That's an unbelievable haul. Very impressive haul for young Sammy. Here is a little quiz for Monarch fans. Which of those honours is the odd one out and why? Must be a big sigh of relief around Edinburgh at least two of the top four is back.
  15. Where has that information come from? Nothing on club website, facebook page or twitter page.
  16. You would have to say that if that top 4 can stay healthy they will be big favourites for the fours and the pairs as well. Could they win the league? Of course they could, but there will be at least another 5 to 7 teams once completing their line ups that can do it as well, but with the top 4 at Glasgow as it stands at the present you would have to say it is highly likely. Are they buying the title? Probably, but why not, if you have a set of owners who have and prepared to splash the cash why not use that to build and get the best set of riders possible, and at the end of the day if it was our team we would not be complaining. There will be lots of twists and turn next season as there is every season, Glasgow may win some silverware they may not but they have given themselves the best possible chance. He certainty took a fancy to the air fence on the 1st and 2nd bend at Sheffield he got off the bike and hugged it quite a few times last season. God only knows how he walked away from most of those crashes unscathed.
  17. Very impressive top 4, there is no denying that. But there will be a lot of pressure from that top 4 to perform in every meeting. They did the same last season and way back in 2004 they did it with a top 4 of Stancl, Parker, Grieves and Bentley. They did not win anything then and to be honest I cannot see them doing it again, but could it be third time lucky.
  18. And according to Wolves promotion they did not re-sign Josh Bates because Kyle Howarth is moving to a Thursday night track in the Premier League. There are three Thursday night tracks in the Premier League, Ipswich, Redcar and Sheffield. Cannot be Ipswich have announced their 1 to 7 so that rules out Ipswich. If the information is correct then that would mean that Kyle is either going to Sheffield or Redcar.
  19. That is correct and has been stated on numerous occasions on other threads. And the reason why the only Polish rider riding in the Premier League is Konopka who probably is here because he cannot get a ride in Poland.
  20. The third heatleader needs to be someone who can score decent points at home, but they also need to have a decent away record. Unfortunately Bellego's away score were very poor last season on the whole. James Wright no thanks.
  21. Just seen that, which would suggest that it would either be us or Redcar. That kind of blows the theory that Howarth is going to Somerset. Personally I would take Kyle at Sheffield in a heart beat.
  22. I was under the impression that it was a mutual consent, from both parties.
