21st century heathen 220 Posted August 17, 2012 Everyone has had their say about the lead up to the meeting. So now it's upon us it's time to get back to what matters most, which is the racing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally I think our boys + 1 can still give them a meeting. Our bottom 4 have all, at times, proven to be quick and smooth taking some big scalps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhidassa 73 Posted August 17, 2012 As a neutral, I'd quite like to see Dudley just edging this meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,960 Posted August 17, 2012 So what time does the meeting start? Seriously though, it still looks like a good meeting between two well-balanced teams. All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Those people who think these two Teams are well balanced, really need to look at it realistically, how can any Team lose 30+ points, and still be competitive AWAY from Home, at home possibly, but away from Home no way. Guest rider Gary Irvine for Adam Roynon, Gazza is a good young rider, but is he A Roynon ? no i dont think so. RR for Ash Morris, Irvine to win, Byron to get 2 a point a piece for Daryl and Dan, so we are down again, and an unattached 3 pointer in place of Tom Perry, well usually they are unattached for a reason, so again we are down, in my assesment all in all we are around 14 points below strength. It was my honest opinion, that whoever used Garrity ar there Guest would win, I am still of that opinion, Nielsen will give very solid support so those two riders will take their own 4 rides, a RR ride, plus a Ht 15 ride each, that is 11 heats, and leaves only 4 Heats for the Heathens to win, sorry to say it, but i am a realist, Byron will hold his own, and give 110% as will our other three team members Dan, Daryl, and JWW, but do we have the Top end firepower except for Irvine, to beat The Fen Tigers on Sunday NO, Dan and Daryl both started the season at reserve, JWW is in fact now at reserve, so in my opinion i expect us to score somewhere between 35 and 40 points, but no more than that.

villiers210 61 Posted August 17, 2012 Garrity can't have a R/R can he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Depends if Lewis is second in the Tigers averages, 1 above and all below can take his rides, where is Lewis Blackbird in the Tigers avs ?, and if Garrity cant take a RR, that leaves us 5 Heats where we wont have to face Garrity or Nielsen, and a chance to take a Heat advantage.

adz_mft 230 Posted August 17, 2012 We were unable to use Morley (guesting for cam) as the r/r at Lynn last Sat.So am assuming the same applies with Garrity.I believe Lewis is 3rd in the averages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMungo 708 Posted August 17, 2012 Blackbird is definitely third in the averages which rules out Garrity for R/R. From memory, Nielsen has 8.65 average, Blackbird 7.01. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On paper alot what you say makes sense, but take the last meeting of the season at Mildenhall last year for example, strange things can happen. I think the meeting will actually be a cracker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can see, both teams are missing 3 out of 7 riders - Heeps, Blackbird and Stoneman for the Bog Moggies; Roynon, Morris and Perry for the Heathens. Both teams are missing two heat leaders plus one reserve (although I admit Perry is a rather exceptional reserve). So pretty evenly balanced.

Tigertas 14 Posted August 19, 2012 Looks like we both have patched up teams. This will be an inportant one to win and hope that the Fen Tigers are up for this. Come on you TIGERS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted August 19, 2012 No brainer who is goin win by lookin at both teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Good luck to both Teams, hope The Heathens can get a point out of this, i would be over the moon with that, would have loved to have seen two full strength Teams battling it out on the Track. We all know the importance of what the outcome will help to achieve, it is who takes first pick in the play offs, as its our last away meeting We can afford to drop a point or two, we have already earned that.
