They did by promoting the number 8 Bradley Andrews to cover for the injured James Purchase.So Cradley already had two 3 pointers(who quite honestly can't score 3 points between them)in the team...and you expect them to bring in another unattached 3 pointer to replace a heat leader?.. And those 3 pointers would have to take three R/R rides as well.Hardly fair is it?
I lasted six races before deciding to go home.The track was poor,the 'racing' was appalling...when a bloke can forget to turn his fuel on,give the oppostion half a lap lead and STILL finish second!!!.Morris's stinker was down to mechanical problems and Chessell's 2xNF was due to him falling off,something I hoped he was cured of this year.
Maybe interest is waning after a disappointing 2015 campaign caused by the management not bothering to replace a rider who missed most of the season (Greaves)and this year signing a rider who wasn't available most of the time(Kingston).They are now about to replace someone who can't reach an assessed average of three with a rider who can just about reach an assessed average of three.
Oh and the fact that Cradley are never going to get their own track doesn't help either.
