WalterPlinge 657 Posted March 17, 2017 Thought it was time this had a thread of its own rather than the Coventry combo thing which apparently died a death some time back, even weeks before Coventry sadly folded. With the Aces team being released to completion during this week, presumably the Colts team will all be released during next week. Don't think we're really expecting any surprises. Seems fairly clear which riders haven't been signed elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted March 17, 2017 Well..... Mellish and shuttleworth have now been announced. It stated shuttleworth will be 3rd heat leader. So it's not the team we all thought it would be. Otherwise shuttleworth would have been a 2nd string Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfield aces 5 Posted March 17, 2017 I think its going to plan, Bewley, Payne & Shuttleworth as heat leaders, Mellish & Smith as second strings, Bickley & AN Other at reserve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise shuttleworth would have been a 2nd string Sorry Phil but you are wrong Shuttleworths average is 6.60 Smiths average is 6.32 he was always going to be down as 3rd heatleader so Payne is still a possible 2nd heat leader.

Moleman27 31 Posted March 17, 2017 No, he would not have been with the team everyone was predicting as Jack Smith's average is lower, so Shuttleworth was always going to be starting as a heatleader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted March 17, 2017 Ah right fair enough. I thought Smith was higher. Sorry for that. So yes we're still on for Payne Bickley Woodhall/Woodhall sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimmo 1,070 Posted March 17, 2017 Has the 'Colts' fixture list been released yet? The only meeting I'm aware of is their home fixture against Mildenhall on the 28 April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
