If Lanham actually improved we wouldnt need Lasse back , we need something thats gonna improve things now ! -
Ipswich 2012
Super Blue replied to cowboy cookie returns?'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I'd be almost tempted to take that swap if i was in the Ipswich management , Lasse was always good value for his points and an exciting rider to boot . He was never a regular maximum man for the Witches but neither was he 4 pt a meeting man either , he did however have the ability to beat anyone ( and i do mean anyone ) around Foxhall on his day ! Still not a true no1 but someone who could actually win in heat 13 or 15 . Hmmm , definite food for thought me thinks Shame but as others point out the averages just dont add up ! -
My apologies to the Tigers for doubting them . WELL DONE on the win . ( think i had my cynical Witches hat on at the time ) What a superb all round performance with everyone chipping in . Might have been a tad different had this line up had faced Stoke or Dudley though . Always happy to admit when i was wrong when you get a result like this !
-
I'm afraid I can't see any kind of scoreline other than similar to what the Witches just conceded , good luck to the Tigers but without the Cam/Joe spearhead and no logical replacement booked ( no disrespect to Aaron ) I just don't see the rest of the lads having the firepower to keep it close . I hope I'm wrong !
-
My choice would have been any proven no1 , however as ive obviously misunderstood the rules on who could be used { ie , the stupid bspa NEG ruling } im a big enough person to take it back ! What the hell is the reasoning behind not being eligable to guest just because youve had a PL average of over 4 ? I mean what difference does it make ? If any riders current average is below the injured riders one he should be allowed to guest imo . But its all about opinions i suppose !
-
Im not particularly bothered whether the worlds opinion agrees with mine over Ash being a 2nd string rider or not but when you have the choice of every rider in the NL to replace Cam i would still take a no1 like Roynon or somebody similar . Its a no brainer , when you have the highest average rider injured get the best replacement possible ! I have no doubt Ash would not have let anyone down and hes a very talented kid but i still think my point is valid . Sorry if you got the wrong idea but Ash is not your no1 is he ? Form yes , fast yes but in Mildenhalls position who would you choose as a guest given the entire league to pick from ? Btw the Witches , my first team are a side made up entirely of 2nd string riders which is precisely the reason they wont win a thing this season ( just getting in 1st before anyone decides to have a pop ) And thanks Shadders !

£16 covers both meetings apparently , when I emailed Mr Silver he said he has always made it clear that the 2nd meeting in double headers is effectively free . All very well if one frequents the Rye website which I don't but imo very good value for money ! I hope to be there but won't be wasting fuel or money if there's any doubt in my mind of the likely completion of both meets . I've never been to Rye before so what's parking and facilities like ? Also will the postcode take me right there on sat nav ? As a side issue , does anyone know why Ash Morris been asked to guest ? lets be honest Heeps has highest average in the NL so Mildenhall could have asked anybody to come in , why choose a 2nd string over a No1?

Mildenhall V Stoke - N L - Sunday 3rd June 2012
Super Blue replied to PhilK's topic in National League Speedway
Looking at weather forecast tomorrows meet at Rye is looking seriously unlikely as well ! I suppose if that's off as well it at least gives Cam more chance to recover from his injury . -
Mildenhall V Stoke - N L - Sunday 3rd June 2012
Super Blue replied to PhilK's topic in National League Speedway
The track in the nice weather was awful last week until it dried out a bit , then it came to Mildenhall who managed to claw it back to get the 3 league points . Hopefully the track staff will get it right this week . I think its going to be a tight one all the way unlike the huge home wins in the playoff final last year . Mildenhall for me but not by many because Joe and Josh will be seriously missed ! -
Ipswich 2012
Super Blue replied to cowboy cookie returns?'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Some interesting partnerships here , will be very keen to see how this lineup pans out ! Hopefully being a 7 man team will be a positive thing but we can't expect too much out of Morten for a few weeks and lets see if the move to reserve can help Tres's confidence a bit . I must admit looking at the averages we could see all sorts of partners for Cam before the end of the season . -
Neither of the Raiders reserves would have scored their averages had it not been for an engine seizure and an eccentric refereeing decision in heat 2 !
-
BIZARRE ! Half of Mildenhall team appear to have lost the ability to ride their own track without falling off ! Doubled with ref making up rules as he goes along ! ( Heat 2 ) Its going to be a tough one for the Tigers . 7 heats gone and more engine gremlins ! At least the sun is out .

Weather was good and all in all I seriously hope this event comes back next season . Please -

Is it just the weather forecasts I'm looking at or is there no rain threatened for this one whatsoever ? If so , that makes a pleasant change ! -

Mildenhall V Scunthorpe - N L - Sunday 6th May 2012
Super Blue replied to PhilK's topic in National League Speedway
At the risk of being rather repetitive as with pretty much every flaming meeting at the moment can someone local keep us updated on the weather front please ? I'm about an hour away and it's a drizzly day . Don't really want to waste time and fuel etc if it's not looking good ! Cheers in advance . -

Anyone got any updates on the extent of Lewis's injury ? He has been going well so far this season . If as according to Chris Louis he may be out for a while Mildenhall can use anyone for rr I believe ? -

This should be a good close meeting , not sue how Cam will do though . He followed up his first NL max with a bit of a shocker at Ipswich last week . Hope it was just a blip in his season ! -

So what's the big news then about it as I said earlier ? Getting cash in is obviously important but it hardly requires Bacon getting everybody excited by putting spurious tweets out ! -

Asset status means nothing these days , riders ride for Who they want to . If you can get cash for their name then well done but I still wouldn't call it big news . -

From what I've heard its going to be quite some before Taylor returns to the saddle so I'm guessing it's going to be some kind of team news . I've no idea who it may be or if indeed that's the news but as a team you can only run on r/r for so long before it starts taking it's toll and costing us league points ! If it is rider news lets hope somebody good . -
Mildenhall V Kings Lynn - K O Cup 1st Leg - Sunday 15th April 2012
Super Blue replied to PhilK's topic in National League Speedway
Far be it from me to appear sarcastic but the weather looks good so can I ask a small favour ? Can somebody keep everyone away from the track with drinks please ? After all we wouldnt want it to be called off at the last minute due to spilt tea on the racing surface would we ? ( tongue firmly in cheek ) -

Super Blue replied to PhilK's topic in National League Speedway
Looking to forward to this one , even more now as my thursday speedway fix was called off at the last minute . Cam and Joe already look like they will become a formidable partnership at this level ! My prediction is 50-40 to Mildenhall
