vog 200 Posted June 3, 2012 I'm pretty sure that this meeting takes priority over a league meeting? So if a rider is doubling up (Like the Worrals) then they ride here instead? If that's the case, Stoke will probably have Ash Birks Richie Worral Tony Atkin One of Jamie Pickard or Ben Reade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie4388 684 Posted June 3, 2012 only is 1 other meeting to this next sunday Glasgow vs Workington (So the only question would be Roynon for Dudley and Irving for Scunthorpe). Hoping to get over for this to Support the Saints and Fen Tigers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vog 200 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Pl takes priority over all nl meetings except the nl riders championship. Well thank goodness Newcastle aren't racing! However, that doesn't half wreck Dudley's chances. With Roynon, Perry, Bekker and Morris they had a chance. With Perry, Bekker, Morris and White-Williams it looks dodgy for them.

vog 200 Posted June 5, 2012 With that stoke team on there own track i cant see alot of point anyone else turning up!!! I don't know. Atkin has started alright, but Pickard hasn't pulled up any trees as of yet. Plus, last season we had a good top 4 and look what happened. Let's face it, the team's will probably be: Group A Rye: Mason, Morely, Sarjeant, Hazelden. IoW: Hughes, Warwick, Hopwood, Starke Stoke: Birks, Worrall, Atkin, Pickard/Reade Dudley: Bekker, Morris, Perry, White-Williams. From that group, it only takes a couple of riders having off nights from any team and they could find themselves going out. Every single rider there is capable of winning races at Stoke, and have proven it before. Group B: King's Lynn: Cockle, Knight, Lowe, Kerr Mildenhall: Heeps(If Fit), Blackbird, Nielsen, Halsey. (No Jacobs as not sure on fitness) Buxton: Branford, McKinna, Priest, Felton. Scunthorpe: No idea of their team. Steve Worrall, Hart? (Is he still riding?), Young, Jones?. Before injuries, I think Mildenhall would have flown through this group. Now, it all depends on who Scunthorpe send. King's Lynn have enough to progress, and Buxton have 4 riders who can all win races at Stoke (3 ex Stoke riders!). All it takes is for one team to fire on the day and they will go home with the title. I just hope it's Stoke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted June 5, 2012 Ashley Birks, Richie Worrall, Tony Atkin, Ben Reade confirmed as Stoke's team on their website. Thank gawd for that - that's the team I've proflled for the prog. Hope I've 'guessed' all the other team line-ups right too... Coz yes, prog notes had to be written before got the confirmed line-ups... Quite why they couldn't have been available in time is indeed beyond me..! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 684 Posted June 6, 2012 Dudley's team is Perry, Bekker, White-Williams and Morris. 2 down 6 to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted June 6, 2012 Can only see a stoke win in this with no roynon for dudley which is too much for any team to lose. And no jacobs for mildy, bit silly when we have a tournament without the best riders. Stoke to win cus they are at full strength 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
