stuart curtis 1 Posted December 25, 2013 I think the lads have a great chance of winning some silverware next season, and as for Kennett, great signing!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,091 Posted December 26, 2013 The obvious choice would have been Aspgren and Mellgren instead of Kennett and Lambert. Morley and Lambert at reserve wouldn't cut the mustard I'm afraid. We may be lucky and get a march start yet if the Raiders return! I agree Mellgren and Aspgren would be stronger than Kennett and Lambert, but i won't blame them for siging two brits ahead of two swedes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,136 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Might need your snow boots Shadders, that's an early start...B4E and I have been to a couple of New Year Classics at Newport and the one at Poole in recent years, so I'm coming up prepared. Mind you, it's very open at Peterborough. I can imagine the wind blows in pretty cold across the fens. The coldest I've been at speedway is a March meeting at Mildenhall about 7 years ago where there was ice on the first bend terracing. This years Ben Fund meeting at Berwick was a close second. It was so cold I had to retreat to the Black & Gold before the final. I reckon 4 layers and a couple of flasks of hot soup will help, but not much Edited December 29, 2013 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes a change from Ipswich!! Interesting. Is this a 3 way competition? Seeing as Ipswich is the most easterly of those. Could be a good start to the season!

Seeing as Ipswich is the most easterly of those. Could be a good start to the season! Nothing about it on either the Panthers or Rockets websites as far as I can see. Personally I'd like to see a return to the old Easter Triangle meetings including all three sides Edited December 29, 2013 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,136 Posted December 29, 2013 It's on the Rockets site now. I saw that earlier Alan. Was thinking about a triangular competition involving Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pity, I used to enjoy the Easter Triangle against Mildenhall and/or Peterborough and/or Ipswich. Team racing with team racing, rather than the 4s format.

All seven riders involved with bumper attendances guaranteed. I remember meetings at Rye involving Hackney & Arena Essex in front of huge crowds.

westhamboy66 599 Posted December 29, 2013 Going back to what i think was probably the start of the three team tournaments in the seventies the meetings between Rye Peterborough and Mildenhall were one of the highlights of the season, six man teams over 18 Heats with three reserves races was alway great value and being at the season start were generally one of if not the best attended meetings of the season. A return of those meetings would be welcomed by me. That said its great to look forward to seeing the Rockets back at the EOE showground and memories of Mick Poole v Rasmussen are some of the best i have in speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
