semion 2,192 Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Two changes. Barker and Anderson in Heeps and Wells gone. Will that offer that much improvement ? Edited August 3, 2021 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether it does or doesn't at least the management are not sitting on their ars£$ and letting the season just drift along.I would think most fans that are attending wanted to see something like this to happen.

Obvious opportunity for sponsorship from Lidl who could supply one of their checkout conveyors for rider involved in changes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the track slicker now though? Was talked about last year and the racing seems to have been better from what people have said. I think it was the grip that he couldn't handle.

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted August 4, 2021 Love the KL press release today Moving at this time means Heeps and Wells will be available to other Premiership sides in a reasonable timeframe should they be of interest. Now honestly which Premiership club in their right mind is going to be interested in signing either of these two this year. Heeps has been utterly dreadful since he arrived from Ipswich and Wells hasn’t really cut at reserve either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You say that,,, but I've read quite a few posts from Ipswich fans wishing him back in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 351 Posted August 4, 2021 TBF, Heaps rode ok at Foxhole last week. Unfortunately it's proven to be a flash in the pan. Maybe trying to sell himself back to his previous employer... Hoping Kasper has had a chance to develop further since his first spell with us. And you have to wonder if Wells and Heaps knew about the change before Monday, hence their poor returns (again) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's more polite than saying, they're past it & should concentrate on Championship matches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
