Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted July 14, 2017 I agree that it's been a bit fast for him but that didn't necessarily cause his injury. Less than a year ago he didn't have any team place and then he's found himself in 2 leagues! Yep, multiple changes have to slot under the 39 limit. Injuries can happen at any time i quite agree some just seem to be more prone than others (not implying anything about Stoneman). Thats rough for Kent then and most likely rules out a Shanes return. Not many riders around 7 point mark available and Kent are without a genuine heat leader now barring guests. Eastbourne would work around this but not sure Kent are quite as savvy?

East End Fan 426 Posted July 15, 2017 Very interested in Sings4Speedway's comment that Eastbourne would work around such injury problems as Kent have at the moment. They can only follow the guest and r/r rules that exist for such emergencies which I am sure Kent will do....Penny has just dropped...Eastbourne would have an electrical problem or no medical cover...Ah Yes ! Personally I wouldn't call that "Savvy". I'd call it letting the fans down who expect to see a Speedway match when the weather is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted July 15, 2017 I don't think you've been following this league long enough east end the Dugard's of Eastbourne are very good at team changes with injuries and other reasons some consist of: Daniel spiller for Mattie Bates Ben hopwood for David mason Adam ellis for Kyle Hughes Ellis Perks for Ben hopwood Luke Harris for nick phillips Jake knight for connor Coles They're very good with team changes love the dugard or hate them they can fix a team 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted July 15, 2017 Certainly wasn't implying anything against Eastbourne with regards to fixture manipulation. More that if they were in the same boat a lower ranking 1-5 rider could pick up an injury / not be available and then allow guests to be used for both bowen and stoneman rather than just RR for stoneman?

East End Fan 426 Posted July 16, 2017 Well, Turn Two, You can only change riders if there are riders there to change. In the early part of the season there are usually a few riders not fixed up for whatever reason, but by June this source of supply is mostly dried up. Kent are having a very unlucky season so far and I don't see any available riders for them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loyal hammer 5 Posted July 16, 2017 Interesting to read on Kents website that Matt Marson has now been confirmed as ineligible to ride on a 3.00, now has an assessed 5 point average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SFTGNigel 18 Posted July 19, 2017 Does anyone have any information on the Kent v Wimbledon meeting next Monday. The fixture has caught my eye before but I've never been able to make it until now.
