Ghosty 500 Posted December 10, 2018 Look's like the potters have a competitive team being assembled for the new season, that's good news. Any positive news on producing a decent track for the 2019 team & their opposition to race on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek 613 18 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) The track was superb at the end of the season and it will be Terry who took over and helped Dave continuing the track next season. I hope you are happy with that Ghosty Edited December 10, 2018 by Derek 613 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 10, 2018 I said a certain rider on a reassessed average didn’t i. 4.98 of my calculations are correct and I fancy stoke to finish top 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of top end power and two improving reserves should do us nicely. Wish all the lads the best of luck for 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are happy with that Ghosty Heard many words about Stokes track last year and none of them were superb. I hope it can be rectified for next season as it would be a huge shame if a good side is assembled and let down by the craters in the surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted December 11, 2018 I believe some of the reports were more favourable towards the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness they couldn't get much worse. I don't enjoy bashing Stoke and in fact weirdly like the place if the track could just be consistent it would produce good racing and get more than a few spectators turning up each week.

I hope you are happy with that Ghosty I am encouraged with what you say, I also know Dave Tattum puts in 100% effort - but it does appear Stoke speedway could do with some money invested in the stadium by the stadium owners & the track & track equipment by ?????????? all lacking for years. I would love to see Conner Coles banging in the points on a great track & in front of good crowds in 2019! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was dangerous that day but that was the last meeting before racing stopped for a few weeks to sort out the track. Reports after that were much better.

mac101 1,201 Posted December 11, 2018 Last couple of meetings were great they had terry the track man working on it before meetings and keeping it well watered throughout the meeting and as far as I know he will be the main man there next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry the track took over towards the end of the season and the track was superb and riders actually saying how good it was, Terry will on e again but doing the track in 2019. I did say in my original comment the back end of the season in other words the last 3 meetings or so and yes the riders were commenting how good it was including young James Chattin who couldn’t believe the difference. So look at those meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
