So you sack two higher scoring reserves and keep Branford? Hmm yes! Watch out rest of the league :-)
-
Pity you can't spell either of their names.This is Woffendens biggest chance to date to be British Champion, he has to take the bull by the Horns and go for it... Best wishes also go to our Kyle Howorth..

Shouldn't that be "Dilger replaces Davey"?Redcar is a better team now than the one we have met in earlier season meetings. Carl is struggling but Kus has woken up, and Davey replaces Dilger.
Still don't reckon it will make them strong enough to beat us, but a better meeting will result tomorrow.
Looking forward to the Bears hoards to swell our ranks. Forecast is good with no rain, and with our superb track, how can anybody miss it.

My four for the final would be Cook, Woffinden, King and Kennett.
-
Where too though? I see Newcastle is slightly nearer than Edinburgh. I would have thought that a pre-booked East Coast Express would be cheaper and possibly quicker over all.I see on the club website that Kennet is going to leave 2 bikes up here and fly up as it will be as cheap as an 850 mile round trip in the van. This sounds like a good idea as he aint goimg to be knackered after a long drive.
-
These aren't temporary signings in that respect.Will this be just a temporary fix though? What happens when Ashworth is fit again? Kennett leaves and so do the crowds? I genuinely hope it all works out and I'm glad we've raced you already now because you are a lot stronger now!
-
Exciting times for Berwick fans, they should be thrilled with these signings.
-
Rye House have a good record at Redcar, but James Sarjeant as a guest? He won't even see the dust from Dyer (and there is likely to be plenty, if recent meetings are any guide).
-
So why Branford?what if Branford originally came in because Blackbird wanted away. The start marshall has alluded to that being the reason on facebook and i've heard it off a few others as well. Blackbird can't gate well enough for BP as no-one can overtake around BP.
-
Max Dilger is expected back on the 12th. So Mr Davey will be available after then, unless he has other plans.
-
Isn't it what the forum is for?The Leicester promoter should be thanked for keeping Speedway alive in Leicester...go and talk to him face to face about your grievances and not on here!
-
Branford in the GB side! That really would be scraping the barrel.Branford may have felt hard done by but made no attempt to get off the track at all, maybe his refusal to budge had some bearing on the refs decision.
Also shouting in the pits afterwards that if he was going to get excluded for that next time he'll just "ride straight through the c**t" may not be the cleverest thing to do as they are both young riders who may be riding together for Great Britain in years to come
All in all a good day and congratulations must go to the Ipswich track staff for preparing a very good racing surface that had riders passing all over the place.
-
Nothing like stating the obvious.With Gino injured last night and Rocco taking a nasty one today at Buxton, it could be a little late to draft in a couple of USA riders from over in the States for tomorrow's meeting
Hope the 2 guys are OK and make speedy recoveries.-

There might be people travelling there who have no internet access, they are likely to feel very aggrieved that what has been advertised isn't what is on the menu. Anyway thank you for your explanation.Prior to injuries, part of the sport, the team being tracked tomorrow was the same that drew 45-45 at Lynn on friday. Of that 7 5 are American passport holders, one is a Kiwi. Brent Werner was supposed to be #5 before work and other commitments ruled him out. Given that Manzares and Scopellite scored double figures on friday and young Sims scored 8, the team as submitted can hardly be called weak.
But yes, I agree, people should go out and support this new venture, regardless of how many illegal aliens ride for the USA tomorrow!

Kent V non-American select.

What a farce of a line up.
-
"Its a pity that Steve B ran short of fuel towards the end of the meeting and he couldn't find the filler cap, so was unable to take his place in the semi final." I presume this is some kind of joke?Its a pity that Steve B ran short of fuel towards the end of the meeting and he couldn't find the filler cap, so was unable to take his place in the semi final.
The 3 riders that were the the class of the field were Steve, Jason and Nelson. Morley, Halsey and Manzares were not far off the pace. Really only one or two wobblers in the line up.
Overall some good races.

He was here, he rode in some second halves and the Julie Lewis individual at Redcar.I've been watching Mitch since he cam over with Josh G. I felt after a couple of seasons he had declared his potential, ie, he can ride a bike, fast, but he gets intimidated by other, more forceful riders around him. If speedway were a time trial sport he'd do very well.
I felt the Glasgow promotion gave him far too much leeway in the hope he'd come good, but he never did, and to be perfectly blunt, unless and until he grows a pair, this will remain his lot in the sport.
I read here he wasn't even here last year but I distinctly remember seeing him in the crowd at Glasgow ( where he's very popular with a lot of fans.) He was as I recall wearing a weird hair cut, with pink highlights. Honest.
I feel for the guy cos he really is a good young bloke and he deserves to succeed, but can one change one's nature ? Hmmmmm.

And you get to take a good amount of dust and shale home, as a bonus.You can always watch the Tractor though.............................................
Tractor fest - AND - 15 Heats of racing - seems like value for money to me.

At Redcar they don't even start track preparation until the listed start time.

You certainly need changes.I think he could walk into Sheffield's squad right away! When is Max Dilger going to be fit?
-
Exactly, They have flattered him, and not just the reserves.He won't have an easier evening against Sheffields poor reserves
-
Dyer is definitely the key, when he hasn't managed his usual mammoth score the team don't do anything like as well. It will be interesting to see what the effect is when he moves up into the main body.so, all you Redcar fans. what do you think of you're team now. still my tip to finish near or at the top this season. done better than worky at sheff. keep it up.
sheff must be pooing themselves now. go and stuff em tonight at Redcar. you bears are my tip for the league.
what do toy think now drac and co.
-
Yes, two reserves and a reliable number two, otherwise you will see more thrashings like this.3 new riders???????
