I did say senior ‘leagues’ as a few senior teams have had to make changes. I couldn’t understand why they made such commitments !! No irony intended

Or maybe they just like the NL and Grass routes Speedway keeping wage demands in check and taking riders from MFS into league racing and seeing them spread into senior leagues. It’s not all about Finance for everyone, for some ‘ethos’ is just as important.

So why sign him in the 1st place or even pledge to track the same Team. I saw this coming when I saw these ‘commitments’ not just NL sides but senior leagues too. A year is a long time particularly during a global pandemic. That’s why I never bought the kids Xmas presents too early as you can guarantee there would be a new more exciting toy released just when you’d finished your Xmas shopping !!

If it’s shown that the powers that be have got any interest in developing young riders ! Bet they couldn’t name half of them. I’ll do a whole meeting on Coffee !!

That’s good news he certainly needed to. Good Luck for the Season !

Really hoping Plymouth find some form

It does seem like the very rules that were tightened to give him a leg up into the sport have actually frozen him out.

I’m sure if all the pieces were to fit it could be on option that Jackie and Barry have already thought of. Barry and Jackie deal with team matters

Thank you for the advice. He’s taken it onboard

That is why he switched the engines as apparently, so I'm told (my knowledge is pretty limited) GM just just glide over the bumpy tracks. He borrowed one from Gordon McDonald a couple of years back which convinced him this could be the way forward but the ones he acquired were dead ducks and he's spent the last 2 months getting them to do 4 laps now they are he's got to get to grips with how they work. anyway. Let's hope he picks it up and soon. Great chatting

There is .......... "Get GM's they said" Although, he was a little disappointed that Waco just walked straight past him in the pits. Instead of stopping and 'chatting'

Chris’ late arrival didn’t delay the start. I’m of the understanding the start may have been delayed slightly due to crowd being late due to a crash in the vicinity of Smallbrooke. It was known at 6 that Chris wouldn’t make heat 1 and it was planned at that point a reserve would take his place because I spoke to Martin.

I must admit I’ve not been on here for some time !! Only when I’m pointed towards it ! In the 1st instance I will declare a conflict of interests not as any kind of official of the club but as the wife of Martin Widman and the Mother of Chris. its unfair to unleash such criticism on Martin as anyone who knows him knows he is straight down the line and an open book. Him and Barry make all the decisions together and equally they are consummate professionals. No one person is bigger than the club. Onto Chris. You’d do right to criticise the start of his season and I know it’s nothing more than he has been doing. He’s had some spectacular bike issues and that has led to a lack of confidence on the track and That’s not a great combination. Just when he thinks he’s gotten sorted, following some long head scratching hours and visits tonengine tuners, something else happens, that’s this season. He had a nasty Crash last year at Cradley where he had to have a wrist plated and probably went back too soon but that’s him all over which explains his issues last season. Also he’s switched from JAWAs to GM’s which have taken some getting used to but I’m afraid that’s where my mechanical savvy ends. I’m sure Barry and Martin are looking at the best interests of the Club on a regular basis !! Thanks for reading and I’ll now leave you to your discussion on what seemed like a good meeting on Friday night. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go.

Tracks in this country are Multi use. For example The IOW track is built round a football pitch. Lakeside is inside a a Car track, probably explains the anomalies. A few have packed in aswell

I must admit. I've not looked at the fixtures closely but, with a couple of quite dry spells, at some point they will be back to back.

Did Cradley need anybody at the time Hampshire was signed ?

I know all Teams have the same issues but, The Warriors were 0.04 off of having Campos and being able to put Kelsey at reserve. When you see it in Blak and White it makes you think. Kelsey could have been at Reserve where he neeeds to be with his current confidence levels but, it is what it is frustrating

The Rider, The Man, The Legend Enough said

Waco has always had a downer on the IOW because Ben has never been able to master the track

I'm sure you'll get over it !!

Lol !!

Probably tongue in cheek.😂😂😂

Doesn't mean people can't have an opinion because Kevin works hard. Or even get laughed at for voicing it surely

About what?

Not bad considering the forecast. 325 came out considering the forecast ? I'd say that is pretty good
