TMW

I supose you have to question wether he was some how forced to ride for the Raiders and this has been brewing for a while.

Jayne posts don't seem to delete these days just hide so the mods can see the content.

I am gutted to say that Chris Widman wont be able to take part in this excellent project going forward as he now does not meet the criteria set for the Junior development leagues now he has a place at Buxton. Some will say he shouldn't have been in it in the first place but it has helped him inmensley and if it had been in place when he was 16 then who knows. I would like to say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people involved in running these Junior leagues and the amount of hard work that goes into running them, all for free. The project is working and I hope you go on from strength to strength. Tina Widman

Sorry to hear about all the injuries last night, Nathan, Tommy and Danny here's hoping for a speedy recovery to all concerned.

I stand corrected

I think people are getting too down on the Hitmen lets face it the only team to come close to beating the Heathens at home were Mildenhall and that scoreline was 52 - 41. Clearly the help they are getting from Jan O is doing them some good, as they are a different team to the one I saw last year and good on them. Here's wishing them better luck at Rye House on Sat and at home against Kings Lynn on Sun. Queue 'Montie' .

Well done to the Heathens they deserve it after a couple of heartbeaking seasons. I know they were winning but enjoyed a bit of banter with the Heathen supporters best of luck for the rest of the season. Heat 1 was called back because the tapes went up squeueif and the start was uneven.

Are you saying that if Ben was given the opportunity to ride for say Kings Lynn you would turn the opportunity down because he would be 'out classed' ?. I know most of the riders are more than happy to ride against these people because it gives them a challenge. They are bringing their experience to the NL the step up to PL seems to be too big for lads to fire staright off. There are only so many teams and so many no. 1's so teams need to use riders like Worrall and Roynan. How many out and out NL NO1.s can you name?.

You only seem to go onto page 2 and beyond if a team has lost and people concoct conspiracy theories as to why. Dudley have a massive fan base and 3 or 4 come on here that speaks volumes. Sad but true

ooh getting a bit repetitive now. Just offering an opinion which if it doesn't match yours is not worthy obviously. Too da loo

Oh I see you have to have a season in a 1 - 7 to have a season do you? You don't have to have as many meetings as being in a full 1 - 7 then. but not gain an avearge. I didn't say Heeps was doing badly but the couple of times I have seen him he seemed to struggle. Am I not free to post wherever I want ???

It's Richie's 3rd actually but his first was cleary managed to give him plenty of competitive rides and nursing his 3 pt average ready for 2011 season. Nothing wrong with that in fact a master stroke I would say Once again I cant deny the lad has done well but you could get your facts right when you arguing a point. You may care to take a look at this; .http://speedwayresults.com/rider.php?name=Richie&surname=Worrall&season=2010 I think Worrall and Roynon are good for the league 1 they do attract spectators and 2 it gives the rookies an idea of the PL & EL and the work to do to get to that standard because you name Kyle Howarth but some lads do struggle with the transition as Cameron Heeps, to name but 1, is proving.

There was an issue at Leicester the other week where 4 riders turned up for Stoke but only 2 rode one had bike problems and one crashed out in his first heat and riders can only ride 4 heats. I am only guessing but there may have been a problem where the ref wouldn't allow the meeting to go ahead.a rider was stopped last year because of licence issues. So I wouldn't put the onas on the teams but it would be interesting to know what happened. Hopefully the meeting was closed and let the lads have a practice so they didn't have a wasted journey eh!!!!!!!

Really sorry to hear that as they were a part of the initial JL set up that has gone on to help so many lads gain confidence and good meaningful racing. Rules as possibly very tight now which can make it difficult to operate on occasions. Thank you Geoff for the work you have done.

Unless you are a 3 point rider or a number 1 you are out in the cold when it comes to guesting. The NL rules are so tight these days to ensure young boys are included they have frozen out a fair few lads but heyho onwards and upwards

Last year Craig Cooke was the 'next best thing'. This year R Worrall is 'the next best thing' next year R Lambert will be the next best thing can this country not focus on more than 1 rider???? No wonder we only have one Brit hanging on by his finger nails. Back to topic all the best to JG much maligned but a great lad a great team player.

I think you will find that most riders follow the wishes of the capt. It would be unfair for some of the riders to say they will ride this has happened before with other safety issues. and it makes for a specticle for all the wrong reasons. So whereas some riders may ride in all conditions others wouldn't anyway the lengthy sun off for the Somerset meeting is a wide spread acceptance as playing for time and completly unique circumstances and shall we say didn't help anyway.

I've known it at Mildenhall Or never went!!!!

I thought you had crawled back under your stone.

No problem. Riders are picked up and dropped at that age and it does them no favors trust me I know. Jack and Jayne have a reputation for sticking with riders through thick and thin and other teams are now following the same ethos which is refreshing to see and to hell with this nonsense of blaming 1 rider for winning and losing meetings when there are 6 other riders in the team. They have to start somewhere. BW is entitled to his/her opinion as a paying guest but as has become apparent it takes a good 2 seasons to get a rider going there are one ot two ala Max Clegg and Nathan Stoneman who are naturals but riders aren't all the same Micheal could be that reserve next year who wins meetings for the team keep up the good work.

I keep reading this about Neale I must admit to not having seen him ride in the NL but I must say I saw him at BV a couple of weeks back and apart from bike problems which I think affected the crowd more than him he looked fine and BV isn't an easy track to ride.

Don't forget the longer hair!!!!

I feel priviledged u remember Your welcome I could see where you were coming from .

Montie Ironscorpion was just offering an opinion from what he heard at the meeting. Do you have to take everything as an attack on saints riders when sometimes people are just offering opinions.

A poster asked a question. I didn't say whether it was right or wrong just offered an opinion on the answer because the real answer we will never know and also refering to the fact that there are some poor foreign riders with places. I feel if Promoters have had problems with British riders in the past. which I have heard 2 promoters claim 3 if you count 2 a promoter and a team manager from different teams in the same interview. This shouldn't rub off on all British riders.all riders should be treated as individuals not as a collective. I'm sure there are foreign riders who can be difficult. The reference to riding in the Danish league could be a reason why he isn't riding in the british PL he doesn't have the time and he could maybe earn more in the NL. I wasn't sure if people were aware he rides in Denmark. Best of luck to the lad.
