Couldn't even do a job @ No.2 this season in all fairness. Got to remember this will be a watered down league. If 36 for 6 riders then a few mid range guys will be out of jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHB, Blodorn, Zischke & Mulford is a terrible tail even in a watered down league imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will depend on our proposed lineup. Amazes me that you manage to stand up given the giant size of that chip on your shoulder .....

PhilTheAce Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago just reading Gusts wants another chance at UK, id be willing to give him a chance at a better run club and a track more suited to him, so how about this kurtz gusts tungate cook, cook, zagar, magic, wright, rew (all fit) Bewley Tate RS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue certainly need a Cook Brother in the engine room so it looks like a good team to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I think Belle Vue have to look at the bigger picture instead of the usual......We want Kurtz and Bewley. It may very well be a weakend League next season but don't forget that Belle Vue weren't seriously challenging for anything this season with Kurtz and Bewley being backed up by Lidsey and Z. Cook. To fit Kurtz and Bewley in again within a 36.00 Limit then you'll need to get rid of the 2025 backup to them and put faith in riders who haven't improved at all. Any planning for 2026 should see a No.3 & No.4 pairing of B. Cook and Z. Cook imo, Two riders who can fligh around the NSS in the engine room and improve starting GSA's of 6.39 and 6.20.

For me these clubs just want it to fall on there laps. How many teams actively try and promote the sport in the towns and surrounding areas? Ipswich have a partnership with Ipswich Town in last few years and crowds are very good at Foxhall but with a bit more promoting it could be even better. There's companies wanting to spend money to avoid tax it's just going out and getting them. Amateur sport has to do this so why shouldn't "professional speedway" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
