blueherb777 571 Posted November 7, 2013 MY OWN OPINION 1. Ben Morley 2. David Mason C 3. Benji Compton 4. Simon Lambert 5. Adam Kirby 6. Jack Kingston 7. Danno Verge Danno Verge ? Not on what he showed last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whistlegang 88 Posted November 7, 2013 Cannot see any way that Mills and Schramm have 6 and 7 point averages respectively. The current rules state that if a rider has a PL CMA and a NL (CL) CMA then the highest of the two shall be used. Not sure what their averages were when they last rode in the third division but would be very surprised if they were that low. From memory, Schramm finished 1 out of approx a dozen rides around CP this season. I don't think I could cope with that if he was one of ours! One or two wise heads (Mason as captain) and the rest can be Jack Kingston clones - i'd be chuffed with that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whistlegang 88 Posted November 7, 2013 What happens about the bronze helmet if Boxall only rides PL next season?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 7, 2013 What happens about the bronze helmet if Boxall only rides PL next season?! In these cases I think it will be declared vacant, then contested by the highest scorers from each team at the first official meeting of the 2014 season.

Long Eye 278 Posted November 7, 2013 What exactly does this reference mean or infer? I doesn't look complimentary to me - it may in modern day jargon but then I am an oldie! I believe I first heard the term used at a Wombwell Colliers match in 1965. One of the young fans was standing near to my ear trumpet and could be clearly heard. I understand that it means it's an 'obvious decision that requires no thought'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Mills on a 6 point average would be a no brainer and Schramm on a 7.04 would be a decent signing too. If they're on higher figures then they are of course not as attractive signings. What exactly does this reference mean or infer?

Thanks for the explanation. It now means to me that there is no place - seemingly - for Chris Mills in a Kent Kings side.

Triple.H. 2,000 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I think you have grabbed the wrong end of the stick Gustix Mills on a 6pt NL is a no brainer as he should increase it by 50% Unless of course i'm not down with the kids as much as i think i am Edited November 7, 2013 by Triple.H.

I,too, thought this but have since found out that training sessions were held at Wombwell in 1964 long after they shut down at the end of the 1948(?) Season. Yep I am getting old!

Yep I am getting old! Ah Wombwell in 1947 and 1948. They always struggled by I still remember riders including Len Tupling, Red Hamley and Stan Beradsall - all a long time ago and a completely different concept generally in regard to team organisation and administration. Thanks for clarifying what went on at Station Road Stadium in the 1960s. wombwell staged speedway training schools in the mid 1960's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandwichspeedwayfan 4 Posted November 11, 2013 With regards to the Mason/Schramm situation. I think it would be a benefit to the team to have two experienced riders in the side. Though I may be biased as David Mason was my first ever favourite rider as a 6 year old supporting the old Sittingbourne side and Chris has been a mate of mine since 1998!! My Kent Kings side if it were possible would be: 1. Ben Morley 2. Jack Kingston 3. Benji Compton 4. David Mason 5. Chris Schramm 6. Adam Kirby 7. Connor Coles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Austin 51 Posted November 11, 2013 1. Ben Morley 2. Shane Hazelden 3. David Mason 4. Marc Owen 5. Aaron Baseby 6. Rik Mullins 7. Jack Kingston Sorry pal, that team wouldn't win a meeting man I also wonder - STILL - what the situation is in regard to Connor Coles and his sudden end-of-season disappearance from the team? Why the block capitals!! You seem to think you have to know everything about the speedway club at Kent??!! You are very wearing with your repeated line of questions. There is a good reason why they are not being answered man. The club don't wish to yet! You need to get out more 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Well stone the crows, after several weeks of being unable to post after the BSF 'upgrade' (sic), suddenly it's allowing me to again!! Am sure I've been missed!!! Can't say I've missed gustix STILL banging on about the biggest 'non-story' in his distinguished journalistic career..:why Connor Coles wasn't in that final (actually never to be...) away team of the KK season.. Hopefully we'll hear no more of that! Rather like it looked you were going to hear no more from me again!!

I also wonder - STILL - what the situation is in regard to Connor Coles and his sudden end-of-season disappearance from the team? In another career on a non-speedway subject when dealing with a council I filed 37 times the same question and when I retired from a working life in 1997 I was then STILL waiting for an answer. The question was never answered so far as I know. The use of capitals? That's what we used to call "designed for emphasis". It obviously worked in a minor way on here - you noticed it!
