old bob at herne bay 828 Posted July 27, 2021 Met Office forecast doesn’t look too promising .....heavy rain 1500-1600 ☹️. Hope they are wrong . Kent will be up against it with a rider short and no satisfactory cover for R/R. Heeps needs to score some points and prove his fitness...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder when new signing is going to be announced ?? Hope Heeps has not come back too quick!....we know what Speedway riders are like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genuinely can't believe Kents luck with the weather switching to Tuesdays was a worse decision than Kings Lynn signing Lewis Bridger. I wasn't expecting Heeps back but perhaps he is trying to make a point and not get replaced? I can't see any new mooted top level rider being added to the side without a double change?

waco 1,026 Posted July 27, 2021 Can not see Heeps getting the sort of points a good guest would have got,,so a Kent win is very unlikely ..Having said that i hope he will prove me wrong .If not i think we should be looking to sign a new heat leader,,,You can not be successfull in this league without three heat leaders....

And hopefully we will have another top class guest at no 5 ?? . The Pirates will need to be fireing on all cylinders ..What ever the result ,i am confident there will be some exciting racing,,as has been the case in recent meetings .... Paul hurry should hurry up and pack up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruckerroo 792 Posted July 27, 2021 Kent letting an unfit rider ride as second heatleader is a bad move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 27, 2021 Absolutely cracking meeting with passes in every heat. Super setup. Good crowd and all over and on our way before 8.30. And stand up Danny Hume. Rider of the night. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted July 27, 2021 Even with 2 poor guests (2 points between them ) Poole win away by 14 points. Heeps is clearly still injured. Hurry really has had his day and if he wants to race should consider an NDL team. Morley doing as well as you can reasonably expect, and far too much pressure on young Gilkes every week . That wooden spoon should be in the trophy cabinet at Sittingbourne very shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
