After Spiller, Mildenhall currently have the 2nd and 3rd best reserve in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) strange tweet on martin dugard's twitter page . seems like he's a bit miffed that no one has noticed his new white fence , never mind complimenting him on it . it appears to make the track bigger but isn't that dangerous with some of the reserves in the N.L. oh well , it shouldn't be brilliant white for too long then.

I'm not on twitter but the regulars I attend with did notice the boards. The are black on the inside, white on the outside, and possibly a few inches higher than the previous one's and look very smart. Maybe someone could appease Martin by copying this post.

Mike.Butler 601 Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) I don't use twitter, was the new fence there on Saturday? If so I did not notice it (and no-one I was with did either to my knowledge...) Edited August 14, 2018 by Mike.Butler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted August 14, 2018 How can they afford it running one meeting in 6 weeks! The track against Plymouth was the best I’ve seen and produced good fair racing allowing both sets of riders a chance at this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 14, 2018 It was so long since the last home meeting, I can't remember what the old fence looked like! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably out of Martin's own pocket (or Dugard Machine Tools) I expect, probably why he was a bit upset ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 15, 2018 Tbf, with already dwindling crowds, I would of thought that criticising the fans they still have, would be the last thing the promoter would be doing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) The thing is, a lot of people's thoughts were with the passing of the late Bob Dugard. Paying tribute to Bob was far more important than new fence panels. Edited August 15, 2018 by cityrebel Spelling mistake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 15, 2018 Think with most things in life, people only pass comment on the stuff that's wrong, when the public aren't commenting on something then you 've got that bit right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted September 13, 2018 Just seen on our website that were doing the double header Saturday with no Baseby or Powell due to pre arranged holidays, using rider replacement and Kelsey at No2, moving Edwards to No4. One would still think we've enough to beat both the IOW and Stoke, but Max Clegg is doing both meetings and seems to have hit a bit of form, would only take an injury and we could be in trouble. Because of the decision not to run more meetings in the summer, and somehow Powell and Baseby being on holiday the same weekend, one slip up now and we won't be in the playoffs. We've gambled with getting fixtures completed since we've been in this league so it may finally come back to bite us . Obviously hope it's not the case, although would probably save us being runners up in the league again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
