  1. So in other words Edberg has ridden on and off for three seasons and is yet to hit the assessed average he started with, and Edberg last year was second reserve as he had a top scoring reserve as a partner. But your right if Edberg can ride to a 5pt average and above hopefully he will be doing well, and as it looks like he will be the senior reserve in the team in term of averages so he will need to.
  2. And just how do you work that out, Somerset have changed their side to fit under the points limit, Berwick on the other hand......
  3. As of the last newsletter no, but they are still on the look out so here`s hoping, going into a new season without a main team sponsor would be a blow to the club. Decent shout, it would be great if we could sign two new riders, but I think we only have room for one assessed average rider. No point in bringing facts to this argument, some don't like that.
  4. I knew Ward would have a cunning plan, not for one minute though did I think this forum would be at the fore front of Wards thinking, especially after what some have written about him on here, but cheers Darcy all the same.
  5. Try taking that argument to Berwick and their pursuit of Jake Allen.
  6. Untill Castanga gets a true average I`m not so sure Berwick would get a guest as I don't think you get a guest facility for assessed average riders, also would the BSPA recognize Italian Champs as a reason for allowing guests, Under-21`s different matter though I think you would only get a guest facility for the three Finals.
  7. Paco Castanga would be the one I would go for, I know he is keen to find a PL place and is not as much of a gamble than others. Problem is, how many Saturday nights would he miss due to Italian Champs, Under-21`s and the like.
  8. No problem. But you appear to be wanting to start an argument nobody else wants, maybe after giving up on other arguments, so I am glad to have cleared matter up.
  9. Why should it, if anyone out there wants to cough up £20 for the benefits in the newsletter then they should, if they don't then don't, its that simple really.
  10. Aye right. On another subject and relevant to only one person on here, Dean Felton.
  11. This time last year the club were telling us they would only announce signings after the t`s were crossed and i`s dotted, they would jump the gun unlike other clubs.
  12. How can this be an out of court settlement.
  13. What is there to suggest that Allen`s average will be anything other than a seven.
  14. If its got feathers like a duck, and quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, then its a duck. If you sign six riders leaving 1-66 for your last rider then you`ve signed a team over the limit and illegal, giving the limit is 42-50.
  15. Then either Berwick will sign Allen on a five point average, which he wont be, Berwick have decided against signing Allen on a seven, or the Berwick pronation are using a very wonky calculator.
  16. Fair enough, though Havelock`s valuation of Summers is a bit steep to say the least, in fact IMO Havelock can put whatever valuation he wants on Summers, he is only worth what Glasgow are willing to pay, at the end of it all if Glasgow want Summers badly enough they could go to arbitration and let the figure be decided that way but I think they may look else where leaving Aaron without a club.
  17. All true, but in both cases Havelock demanded a transfer fee, and in both cases he has put an unrealistic figure on the head of both riders.
  18. Ipswich do look good, in Covatti they have a reserve that should score well in the PL. For Berwick there is still enough riders out there to get a decent team for 2015, here`s hoping.
  19. Normal service resumed, fixture list comes out, people start booking holidays and hotels to see their team, only for clubs to start moving fixtures willy and indeed nilly just because one or more of their riders find riding in some meeting abroad more appealing than fulfilling their own clubs fixtures here.
  20. Signing a 3pt rider just to make the numbers up is pointless, and weaken the team still further, we`ve gone down the route of carrying riders and it doesn't work. With Allen in the team we need at least one reserve that is capable of scoring decent points home and away, its difficult to see a 3pt rider or an Alex Edberg doing that. Signing Allen is a good idea if we have the strong reserve to back it up as once the averages change it might see Allen drop to reserve where he should find points easier to come by, and the stronger of the two reserves moving up into the top five as Jensen and then Kus did last year.
  21. Giving the stance Havelock took over Matej Kus there`s every chance he would've done the same with Summers.
  22. Looking at posts made by Aaron on Facebook, does in his opinion, put the blame fairly and squarely at the door of Mr Havelock.
  23. ‏@aaronsummers88 27m27 minutes ago Anyone need a full time mechanic this year cause the way things are going I'll not have a team
