Weeyin 1,022 Posted July 24, 2019 Was an excellent match report on Eagles website. I thought at one point the Tigers were going to lose their first home meeting, couldn't see where we could get an advantage, however Kyle Bickley's last to 2nd brought the house down and seemed to wake up the rest of the team, (Cookie apart as he is master of Ashfield and worth admission money alone) I was very impressed with Jason Edwards and Alfie Bowtell (although his ride with Connor Bailey was a bit on the harsh side and the tigers fans let him know.) As for son of God , what a ride he produced in heat 15 although Cookie got him in the end. All in all a very entertaining meeting and excellent performance from the Eagles, not sure if we can pull it off going through as it will be a much tougher task than last time we were at Arlington. We need to be on it from the start on our matches coming up v Leicester and Scunthorpe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another learning point for Connor, rather than how to get out of a situation like that, try not to get in it to start with. He is a very good prospect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just spotted this and felt compelled to make mention - I hope you don’t mind me making comment regarding H Gould (and hope he doesn’t either) but it just so happens I have spoken to him a couple of times this season and occasionally over the years and I’ve always known him as a Birmingham fan - I say I know him, I don’t really, not well at all but he one of those people I’ve been accustomed to seeing (mainly around the midlands tracks) and over the years we’ve nodded to each other and in the last couple of years we’ve exchanged the odd pleasantry this season I saw him and nodded at eagles opening meeting but then during the cup match we actually had more of an extended conversation when I learned, or rather assumed by what he was saying of his identity on this forum - whether that’s his real name I know not, our ‘speedway relationship’ has never gone as far as exchanging names - more nods and the occasional handshake - I enjoy reading the comments on this site but seldom post. I often wonder who some of people behind the identities are and how heavily they might be involved in the sport - I’m guessing from your post here that you think you might have caught someone out but having spoken to H Gould in recent weeks, unless I’m missing something I think you might have got it slightly wrong here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â No commentary? Or maybe producing a best off for the end of the season which would be a cracker by the way. Don't really know.
