lionheart 86 Posted March 19, 2013 They've got enough problems putting together a Rugby team at present without trying to find a speedway rider. I bet you wish that you hadn't said that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted March 26, 2013 I can hear the bikes, but its too cold and as I haven't got a car today. I will wait to hear from any nutters that are brave enough to visit and see how the boys are looking this season. Cant decide if I will go to Ipswich on Friday yet, don't suppose it will be any warmer by then ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant decide if I will go to Ipswich on Friday yet, don't suppose it will be any warmer by then ?? first nutter to quote - quite a few people there today and everyone practiced except Jason B who only flew in this morning but was there for team photo - track looked very good considering everything - hope to see you at Ippo on Friday as I'm sure I wont be the only 'nutter' there (mind you it was freezing cold at the track today) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockets 61 Posted March 27, 2013 I have to say I cannot wait for this season to start. I am genuinely more excited about this team than any for a few years. Yes Len could and should have used the full allotment. However Everyone between Ollie and Simon has a realistic prospect of achieving a real time (as opposed to rolling) average of seven plus. Ollie might struggle to hold to his average but he will be an out and out number one. I also think Simon has a real chance to improve at reserve and if he does nt there is the shadow of Luke Stevie Boxall and others at Kent waiting in the wings. We may take the odd severe beating but I would be surprised if, barring injuries, we are not voted most entertaining team on our travels. Jason G, Anders and The wave of chaos that is Nelson will be worth the ticket money alone and I see all of them being offered double up opportunities as the season goes on. JB looked back to his best at the end of last season and seems to offer loads in terms of team spirit. The big one though may yet be Lykke - if he only he could start. Some people bemoaned the big wins at home then they moaned at the lack of excitement but credit to Len we have a team full of grit excitement and entertainment. I can feel a 1979 rites of passage forming. Come on the Rockets !!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also think this team is going to finish far higher up the League than the Pundits in Speedway Star think they will plus there's the Exciting prospect that Young Jason could well be the England Under 21 Champ as the Icing on the Cake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben91 1,743 Posted March 29, 2013 It's early days, however there are always going to be short sighted opinions on how the team will do. It's a side packed with potential, give it time over the season and we're really going to blossom. I still fully expect us to be surprising a fair few and making a decent challenge for the play-offs.

Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted April 1, 2013 I've also put this on today's match thread. Is there and indoor/under cover area at the stadium as I'm thinking of taking an elderly aunt to the meeting today and its a bit cold for her to spend a few hours outside ?

bolly 96 Posted April 2, 2013 Has anybody speculated yet on who can/will ride for the Rockets for the short/medium term future as it looks as though Simon and Jason B will be out for a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks for Simon and ??? for Jason B. Ben Morley Steve Boxall Richie Hawkins Are likely candidates, with Taylor Poole Emiliano Sanchez Jordan Frampton as longshots Maybe its time for the return of 'TOMMY ALLEN' I've got no idea, but I would think that Ben Morley will be in for next weekend with our old mate R/R.

Harman 14 Posted April 2, 2013 I though Frampton had retired. Sanchez or Poole good choices, need to use points available and get Garrity at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
