After all its not as if we run 30 odd meetings a season like we did in years gone by. I think if people were allowed in the promotion would be changed full rental from spedeworth. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk127 1,359 Posted March 2, 2023 I believe that p and p and entrance is restricted due to local council regulations and nothing to do with spedeworth. The only time it would affect Spedeworth would be the seven day rule regarding the frequency of meetings at the venue. Happy to be corrected on the foregoing.

stevehone 3,430 Posted March 3, 2023 Nasty nasty injuries for Jack Thomas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted March 3, 2023 Jack Thomas season looks over as he’s got 2 broken vertebrae and a broken neck, aswell as bruised lung and broken ribs. Getting operation soon. tough luck for the kid. Was due a good year. assume kemp will now come In Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted March 3, 2023 Another victim of Scunthorpes track, obviously dont know what happened or how he crashed but there have been far to many serious injuries at Scunthorpe 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasser90 229 Posted March 3, 2023 That looks a bad one for jack. The kid has no luck what so ever ! Is the Scunthorpe track really that bad ? I’ve never been but heard it makes some decent racing but then there’s also been so big accidents there over the years. is Drew kemp on the rising star list this year.? I suppose other options are Rowe and thompson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rate Thomas, but given Kemp had a higher average than Thomas in both leagues last season I fail to see how it makes them weaker. Both have lots of potential, the question is can they fulfil it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted March 3, 2023 Best wishes go out to Jack. Riders really do end up with the worst injuries when riding the Scunthorpe circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue witch 46 Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Feel for Jack was looking forward to seeing him at Foxhall Connor Bailey??? Touted as the next best thing a couple of seasons ago? ides with King Riss and Hume in Championship. No doubt Kemp's ability but his mentality clearly isn't right being dropped from his last 2 clubs in the Premiership Edited March 3, 2023 by blue witch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted March 3, 2023 What's the evidence that Scunny has a bad injury record? I've always considered it very safe due to the width and shape but happy to be disproved. Gutted for Jack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew may of had an average higher than Jack but i just think that Drew has not kicked on the last couple of seasons and seems to fragile or not mentally tough enough when he has to mix it, he's fine when he traps but more often then not doesnt make much impression if he's at the back, he may of missed out on a ride in the other league coz he had an awkward average but it's strange then no one in the top league wanted him as their RS if he's on the list or as the other reserve, i hope im proved wrong and he kicks in this season given the chance coz ive got nothing against the lad and it's good to have a local lad riding for his local team.

Falcon1983 557 Posted March 3, 2023 Personally i would go for Anders Rowe to start the season, if you take away last season, the year before, before he got injured he was flying at reserve and got into the main body of the side. The last couple of meetings he seemed to be heading back to that kind of level, and a season with Doyle etc. Would do him wonders Kemp for me would be 2nd choice, again has good ability but i think as others have said its mentality and doesn't fancy mixing it often which will obviously not see him progress, but again maybe with doyle etc with him for a season that would be good for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
