Think it’s more down to the fact he averaged exactly 6.00 when he last rode in the championship and people expect him to not ride professional speedway for 2 years and then turn into an 8.5 average number 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go regularly 2006-08 when they were second division and sporadically before that, it's a lovely little track when prepared well, small but not turn-yourself-inside-out tight. Unfortunately since then its often resembled a ploughed field from what I've heard and seen. Used to do amazing fish and chips too, all in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and fields. Was a cracking Sunday afternoon out in the right weather. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point made was that the RS scheme should've been expanded. My point is that those below Bickley, Edwards and Atkins would've been the ones coming up and they are nowhere near ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
