  1. Eastbourne have to be weaker with Georgie Wood. Having to move out of the reserve birth where he had a possible 7 rides and now also faces tougher rides like Ben Morley had too..
  2. Probably the best promoting team in British speedway..If only the other promoters put as much effort in then possibly speedway could see a resurgence in this country.,.......well done again IOW..!,
  3. Comfortable win for IOW all round team performance,,Much improved from Widman all be it a little help from Ben when he won.Sincerly hope he can push on from this.and go on.the attack with his league performances....Chris your team needs you to keep that strong mind set..you can do the business........
  4. W,ith moderate bottom ends to both teams i will be looking to see if Chris Widman can go to the tapes with a determined mind set ,that should bring a greatly improved performance that he is capable of ,,,Which would please me, having been highly critical of his racing lately....
  5. Looks a well balanced meeting and hopefully will go some way to resurect Oxford speedway
  6. You would have a job telling youngsters any thing these days..........They know it all......
  7. Alfie is a very detirmined rider with little ability to turn a speedway bike on anything other than large tracks,, he gates well but if he gets inside another rider there are to many occasions were he makes uncontrolled contact and as such could be considered by some as dangerous ,potentially injuring another rider or indeed himself...We will see in the long run if that happens or he eventually becomes more controlled and a decent rider.....
  8. Sensible early call saves every one chancing travelling only to find it called off later.. A touch of the Len Silvers way how it should be done ....
  9. Ben Morley guests for Danny Ayres,,,,,,,Weather looks really dodgy for this one on sunday,,hopefully an early decision one way or the other will be made.....?
  10. Oh I spoke to soon looking bad for IOW now, though guest Smith is doing a good job
  11. No Georgie Wood again,,,,,,,any one know the reason,,,Looks a close meeting so far
  12. They certainly have Richard ,,and so have riders demands,,largely to keep their bikes in competitive order,......
  13. Things are not like they used to be,,nowdays every thing revolves round costs that are far more expensive than they used to be,,,,,hence longer delays with injuries
  14. Do the averages fit for either rider,,,? don't ask me not up on averages at Kent
  15. Hi blue herb77,,as you probably know I did the track at Rye back in the early 80,s with Hughie Saunders ,and have been staff on the Kent track when Ben was there ,l also did the track with Chick Woodruff many years ago at Rayleigh so I think I know what I'm talking about on tracks,,The track at Kent is one of the hardest to ride for young inexperienced riders..So take no notice of those knocking your opinions...For an example did you ever see Nathan Ablitt crashing at Lakeside ?.
  16. The track needs more banking on the exits of bends 2 and 4 to allow better overtaking possibilities and enable riders to hold the wide line more easily to avoid drifting in to the fence ....I have great respect for Len Silver but this is not the best track he has ever built....and changes are badly needed to reduce crashes and improve the racing lines.....
  17. The curfew at this track is outrageous ..the council are a disgrace!!!!!!!!
  18. Sounds like an exciting climax to the meeting and what ever the if,s and but,s and maybe,s.the result is just that,,Personally thrilled to see IOW do so well and our Ben Morley getting a four. Ride max on his new bike set up,which in fact goes back to last season at Lakeside
  19. Stoke ,,IOW ,,Mildenhall and Kent,,to the final...I bet that those involved are pleased to be getting two more rides each what ever the final result,,it is tough to go to any meeting for just two rides and in Clegg,s case tonight none.....Anything can happen in the final good luck to all the riders ,and stay safe......
  20. Do not know why these types of meetings can not be held at neutral tracks ?
  21. Shame if he loses his place looked like a promising young rider on monday
  22. You can not race speedway if you have no confidence in your machinery...it is as Much about the mind set as anything else...Get your head right give yourself a kick up the backside and you will find that you machinery is better than you thought it was,,Then confidence starts to kick in.....
  23. It is correct to say Alfie is not that experienced and riding In the championship being a very determined character he is on occasion riding beyond his skill capability,,,But riders of.his aggressiveness on track are usually those that eventually make the grade..when they eventually gain the control to go with it....
  24. At this moment in time Alfie is not always in full control when turning the bike,,combine that with a rugged determination,and you have a rider that will progress with time...but few riders want to be immediately out side him at the moment.......that includes some of his own team i would imagine ?
