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. Well. It looks like MR Vasey has moved on to pastures new now but I think in Adam Isherwood they have the ideal man for the job. Good luck to Mr Vasey and better luck to Adam. Up the Potters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big lad 7 Posted December 12, 2018 That’s good news ,about Vasey, never did anything at Stoke.When he arrived we were a mid second division team , due to his team management we end up bottom of the third division. Looks a good team and it will be all the better without Vasey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit harsh I think Vasey did his best IMO under difficult conditions to say the least ,he had great passion for the sport and I hope he finds something else where . Has Tony Atkin finally retired from the sport as a rider he seemed to disappear half way through last season , if so I would like to wish him a happy retirement he has been a credit to the sport .

big lad 7 Posted December 13, 2018 Might have been his best, but it wasn’t any good. Look at his record , only way the club went was down , should have got rid after the first season when he cocked up and we had to drop down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnTwo 317 Posted December 16, 2018 Still a very strong team. In a watered down league they have an out and out number 1 very strong reserve in Pavitt, Alcock has expirence in other new 2 pointers. Priest will be a 7+ rider in this limit and I expect Chessell to hit 8+ with Glasgow expirence. Coles will provide solid back up at number 3/5 and Burnett can beat most second strings round stoke.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you need a cool head and a steady rider. He was doing just fine last season until he clattered the fence hard and did extensive damage to his bike. After that the only winner was his local scrap metal dealer. Picked up again nicely towards the end of the season so for me he deserves a spot. Up the potters.
