    I think had we Had Mountain for both legs plus Armstrong for the 2nd leg it would have certainly made things a lot more interesting. Thought yesterday's meeting was a good 1.Bugger me it was cold though haha

    Congrats to Eastie on the win

    The replacements for Mountain and Armstrong at Plymouth were an SDL rider Nethercott and the Eastbourne reserve Matt Bates. How's that for putting out a weakened team denying the Plymouth public of a decent meeting, and also no Kemp or Sam Woods at reserve another SDL rider. The public at Plymouth were very short changed by the team Mildenhall put out last. Friday.

    Could be another farce meeting tomorrow. Glasgow have rearranged their KO Cup match which was postponed tonight to tomorrow and are saying that Bewley and Smith will be riding for them.

    That means the Colts will be without Bewley, Smith, Bickley who fractured his foot last night, Payne who has a long term shoulder injury and Mellish who also has a broken foot. This leaves Shuttleworth and Woodhull.

    Whilst having sympathy with Glasgow why rearrange a meeting to a date when it was already known the Colts would be riding in an important meeting.

     

     

     

     

    No doubt we will have guests and r/r but it is going to be yet another shambles of a meeting.[/quote

    How long has Lee Payne been out for? Surely Belle Vue could have full time replaced him or has it suited them to be going R/R with Bewley, Bickley and Smith gaining extra rides?

    For the 2 play-off meetings between Wolves & Swindon, the cameras kept panning the HUGE crowds watching. Last night, I don't remember once the cameras panning the crowd. Could anyone tell me whether the crowd last night was much bigger than a normal Sheffield meeting, as there didn't seem to be a lot there. Or was the crowd that low because everyone realised what a farce of a meeting it was.

    Haven't seen any reply to this post as all the posts now seem to be about the clubs statements. So I will ask again out of curiosity what was the crowd size like last night compared to the rest of the season.

    Said in an earlier post that Devils needed at least to win by 20 at home. It will be close on Sunday and much will depend on if Edwards can nick a point or 2, a lot to ask of the young man even though 15 yr old Drew Kemp was flying at Plymouth last night for Mildenhall. Very impressed by Kemp.

    Bailey and Morley will be ok for a few pts. Young Atkins should do better than last time but can't see Andrews or Walker doing much. Hope it's A Devils win but don't think 18 is quite enough.

    Should have done the lottery last night. Afraid to say my worst fears came true and

    Mildenhall nicked it in a run off. Well done to both sides I bet the atmosphere was cracking. I hope the final was well attended.

    I fancy mildy to absolutely stuff Plymouth on sunday, they should have won by miles more against a very very weak side

    It is a peculiar time scale for the ban!

    Whos in for Wood tonight? And is it Kemp at number 6?

    Hopwood riding again, last night for Bailey tonight for wood I think.

    Regarding the ban. I would guess that the thought behind banning him from only home matches would be to penalise the club more . If you get a guest in for an Away match you could get in a track specialist which would be to the clubs advantage.

    On that sort of average he has to be in. Careful planning needs to be done to stop any clashes with KK SEC fixtures and Chris's Long track commitments,that's if we do run Saturday fixtures. Wonder if Branford will be back next year. To me he badly let us down at the beginning of the season, maybe he rode too much with the injury he had.
