Fordy 0 Posted December 6, 2018 Lovely stuff, just get Cleggy signed up now and we might actually see some wins next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted December 7, 2018 Sounds to me as if Stoke are finally getting the message that they need some decent riders to get better crowds. THis trio will be as good as most. Nice to see Chessell back after his enforced lay-off. Always looked a classy rider when I have seen him in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted December 7, 2018 Certainly ticking the right boxes. Perry is a smart rider around Loomer Road and i feel Coles will be one of the bargains of the season on his current average. Chessell with his average reduction is handy but with on 14.61 left for 4 riders much will depend how they are used? Im not sure there is the connections to the best of the new 2 point riders so could be another long tail to come? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adonis 1,454 Posted December 7, 2018 I haven't heard anything about Hopwood . Is he still riding ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 8, 2018 Chuck Extance in there and another reduced rider with now the inclusion of Alcock it’s not that long tailed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highside 118 Posted December 9, 2018 How about Josh Embleton at reserve . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek 613 18 Posted December 9, 2018 Corban Pavitt has been announced as the third rider and having seen him at Buxton I feel he will most certainly progress in 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 9, 2018 If they bring priest back and Extance (presuming priest gets a reduction) this could be a top of the table team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted December 10, 2018 Pavitt is a great prospect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Priest on any form of a reduction will be good value, Pavitt certainly has great potential (thought he would be at Belle Vue tbh) verdict is very much still out of Extance though, the talent is there but not sure the injuries will allow him to excel.

mac101 1,187 Posted December 10, 2018 Extance at Plymouth Burnett it will be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a league structure changed to encourage new riders to step in and freshen things up rather than see the same old faces year on year if Stoke go down the Burnett route its a travesty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2018 I agree with sings Extance would have been far better than Burnett, and even so I would prefer butcher over Alcock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
