Yeah dont get downhearted, this Storm Team has plenty of talent, but for Lozza to say he couldnt pin point it, well two heat leaders scored 10 points between them, and i dont think won a race, Brendon was not only getting beat, but getting passed by far lesser experienced riders namely Clegg and Grieves, for me that was the dissapointing aspect to the Storm team, i wont blame the reserves nor martin Knuckey who really should be down at reserve, and Monmore isnt the easiest of Tracks to ride on your 1st visit, so there were excuses for the lower order.

Cracking meeting, well done Edinburgh, who took advantage of a couple of Rebels riders not being at there best for one reason or another. I notice on here there are a couple of comments about Tom Perry, and there are a couple reasons which both might explain his apparent lack of progress, the first from what i hear is the he has a different Spanner man to last season,and for me he doesnt have the speed or set up right, secondly he is down on confidence, and third he still needs to improve that gating, if he doesnt then for me poor gating allied to indifferent equipment, means for me Tom has reached his level, yes against 1 heat leader in the NL he can make the passes, but against 3 other equal or better riders in the PL, then Tom cant make the passes in every race, that he makes in the NL, just look at Toms record when he is in Ht 15 NL, and that proves my point. To summarise good racer, great guy, has he reached his level ? in my opinion Yes.

Glad to see Adam riding somewhere, the guy has had NO luck whatsoever, and deserves a break of the right sort, if Sheffield havent signed him, and they are able to, then they are stupid, Leicesters loss someone elses gain.

Its great to see Plymouth finally having a competitive all round Team, and whilst Bech will no doubts grab the headlines, I myself am particuarly happy to see Jake Anderson finally scoring some consistant points. I have never been able to understand why he always struggled to score more than the odd point or two in the PL, over the last 5/6 meetings both for Plymouth and as a guest for others, he has been winning races, and undoutably his confidence is growing, this in return has helped see Plymouth gaining points home and away, well done Jake, and go do some Ommering Plymouth...

Well its now official, Leicester have released Adam Roynon, and unfortunately Plymouth dont have a space in there Team for him, right time and right place just didnt happen, on an average of 7.07 Adam will do a good job for someone.

Well done to Berwick speedway & Berwick rangers. Its a pity The Heathens cant get a local Coach company to sponsor the Travel, this would be a great meeting to see. Its good to see Teams being more proactive and encouraging more British youngsters. I understand Adam Roynon will be riding for The Heathens, probably as a guest for Ashley Morris.

Hmmm, this is going to be a tough one for Rye.

Great place to watch your Speedway, wish The Heathens had something similar..

Well done Young Stars, bad luck Kings..Last week Ben had an off night, tonight it was Steves turn, one night they are all going to get it together, the balance of the Team doesnt allow for one of The Heat leaders to have an off night..keep trying lads, it will come.

Cheers Neil..

Vog is it 3 home, 3 away or 6 & 6, from an unofficial comment one of the managers made, he is hoping to keep, 1 of these Star reserves at reserve all season, if its 6 & 6, then its easily achievable, just the Star reserve is unavailable for a couple of home meetings.

Just a word, now if Mick Horton could offer free admission to one NL fixture, with a lesser attractive EL meeting, this might, just might attract a few of the stay awayers to watch a NL meeting, its far more attractive as a spectacle then in Coventrys Conference League days, and this Team has far more potential, than that Team ever had.

I didnt expect to see Stoke struggling this badly, Smartie and Hughesy were both gambles by Malcolm, Hughesy is upping his average, but Lee ? doesnt seem to be even close to what he was before, worrying times for mr V. Storm well they have added a couple of riders to there original Team, both were tough decisions to make, but they have been justified with the scores by Branford and Crang, perhaps even more pleasantly surprised by Knuckey having to ride at 2, and tonight saw a return to form of Sarj & Brendan, well done Storm..

Yep, everything is pointing in his direction..

Yes, you could be right there, normally thats how CVS operates..

Thanks Najjer

Yeah, am thinking of coming down to this, but its been peeing down up here in Tom Perry land..

Thanks DD, Nedermark or Poole would be my idea from the above riders, I await the news of your proposed new rider, however there is a rider who may be available, from the Leicester squad, it may be worth a phone call to Leicester to see if a deal could be done, the rider i would suggest you look at is British, I have NO doubts you would love to have him in The Devils Team, Lymington isnt a million miles away from Plymouth, and boy he is fantastic with the supporters, average wise, i think he would just SQUEEZE into your points limit, would Leicester let him go ?? Hmm i dont know, but its worth a phone call, If you dont ask you dont get, and Im sure its NOT difficult to work out who i am talking about..but unfair to mention him by name, what is certain is Leicester have to release someone, and you need a rider, THIS guy is the real deal, on and off Track.

Just a few riders who arent riding at the moment ie even if they are available; Richard Sweetman, Kyle Legault, Taylor Poole, Justin Sedgeman, Jonas Raun, and one who i might suggest has some unfinished business down at Plymouth, Claus Nedermark. I am not for one moment suggesting any of the riders are available or would fit in down at Plymouth, but there is not exactly a long list of riders around the 7 point mark.

So by my reckoning, you have room for a 7 point man, if Klingon hasnt clung on.

Hmm, is this sour grapes, or is there some truth in this ? i would have taken this with a pinch of salt, but from someone who has a commercial interest in the sport, and is respected.......

Gustix, you saw the finger/s comment, did you not notice the at the end also, anyways i wont be commenting on Adams ability again, his scoring is doing it all for him, I just hope JTW has the good grace to come on here, and say it seems he was wrong.

Listening to Radio Wm, and Wolves v Brummies, i was thinking Nico Covatti would be a good signing for a PL Team, a rider who can gate, and also by all accounts is exciting to watch, even if he isnt Klingons replacement, what would he come into the PL on ?.

With regards Klingons replacement, it appears some people are in the know, but are awaiting the official announcement . I would just like to say i am really pleased to see Jake Ando scoring some points, when he rode for the Heathens in the NL he was a good gater, never really got the hang of Monmore Wood, and had an higher away average than at home, he was a good Team man always offering advice and support to the younger guys, he was at that time a better rider than Micky Dyer. In my opinion he is a better rider than the 3 point average he has, never gonna be World Champ, but on decent equipment should more than hold his own in the PL, 8+ at Leicester, 8+ at Dry albeit from 5 rides, is a much fairer reflection of his ability i feel, so if the other riders can get some consistency, he could be a match winner along with Hot Toddy down at reserve. Klingons recent form, has been pretty poor, and i dont know what average he signed on, but from his last 28 rides for 18 points, which equates to an average of 2.57 that was not good. Whilst the focus has mainly been on Klingons form, Schrammys recent scores have been equally if not worse, i have just checked, and his average is 6+ however in his last thirty rides, he has had 1 second place, the remainder being either 3rds or 4ths for a total of 12 points from those 30 rides, which is a 1.6 av for a 6+ rider yes he is a great guy, and a trier, but there comes a time when thats not enough, that time is fast approaching.

Is there a cryptic clue in there somewhere ?.
