False dawn Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 3 hours ago, chun said: keep up. it was drew kemp. he went off to put his town top back on I watched this meeting on the stream. Watching Drew trailing in last or worse, seeing him pull up at the back, was doubly galling as we were treated to replays of races from the BV match 7 days earlier. These included Drew blasting round the outside, scoring 6+2 including a victory over Brady Kurtz. The man is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I thought they were talking about Sedgmen not Kemp? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 It’s Kemps attitude that made Louis drop him from Ipswich when he was seen as the next wonder boy. Has the ability & bags of potential but sadly looks to be another who massively underachieves!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole dropped him because of his attitude. Maybe in this case Leicester were not too worried as it was not a meeting they had to win.

Ok maybe some of the top boys are on some sort of guarantee, but I wouldn’t have thought the likes of kemp would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's an acceptable number, if you want paid more, score more, simple! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people think riders will go through the motions because the result is immaterial to their CLUB then they live in cloud cuckoo land.

Most riders are blissfully unaware of the score during the meeting. But are fully aware of their own scoring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Having a suspicious mind I'm wondering if any average massaging has been going on in readiness for next season or for the one, or possibly three meetings, in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about your specific question. But sometimes I want to kick Drew from here to next Wednesday. As a speedway fan, regardless of team allegance, his inconsistent performances just frustrate the hell out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
