Can’t disagree sadly. 1 pass I can recall (Greaves on Bickley) before I started to genuinely lose interest … otherwise from the gate! I paid for a season ticket this year you know 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,675 Posted July 11, 2021 Doesn’t seem like the track alterations have done anything to the actual racing. Still very one line. I know William spent hours in the workshop yesterday morning so glad to see his efforts turning into points. Kye again on a track he’s never seen was outstanding. Most pleased for Nathan, willing to learn hadn’t really scored what he’s deserved the last couple of meeting but did last night which was pleasing. Masters is a joy to watch absolutely effortless last night. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bickley needs to realise giving more stickers away on a van than he's scored CL points in 3 seasons doesn't make you a speedway rider. Aren't those his sponsors? If so, well done to him 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masters is a joy to watch absolutely effortless last night. When the track is so slick it doesn’t help.Charles Wright and T Jorgensen showed there was an outside line round the 3rd/4th bend when the track was prepared differently (by luck it would seem).None of the Present Bandits Team want to use it though.

True was expecting better racing with the widening of track sadly doesn't seem to be happening Master's superb non more so than letting Nathan lead can't remember which heat great team riding.

penchev 342 Posted July 11, 2021 13 hours ago, Shadders said: Poor Leon was battered and bruised from last nights fall at Armadale which explains his performance tonight. As for the rest of them, no excuse, Dany excepted. Weathers drops a couple of points from 6 rides with Newcastle last week, scores 3 tonight. Go figure. Etheridge is becoming a major problem. Wasn’t scoring at 3 and well out of his depth at 1. Virtually guaranteed an away 1-5 in heats 13 & 15 If you’re thinking of putting a side like this out next season then don’t bother. Just close the club down or drop down a league. Leon went out for a run after the meeting so couldn’t have been that battered and bruised , probably letting of some steam after the teams performance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw Thomson in the World U/21 Team Final at Belle Vue a couple of seasons ago,he was on the pace and actually beat Leon in the race they met.So thought he would do OK on big track last night.Could be decent rider when he gets the hang of Armadale.Impressive last night .
