ZODIAK

And a rather extravagant generalisation from you in thinking you've been proved correct that Premier league racing is superior. Of course, watching your Elite league racing at Foxhall and thrill a minute third rate gating Poles, I can understand why you would come to that misguided assumption. The dross you've been watching at Foxhall is not representative of Elite league racing one iota.

Or if your team is in the Elite then its far superior to the rubbish served up in the Premier, or if your team is in the Premier it serves up far better racing than the overrated rubbish in the Elite. And if your team rides in the NL, its far more entertaining than the Elite and Premier combined!

Each to their own. Personally, i thought the Elite league meetings on sky last year were generally superb.

The King's Lynn and Birmingham fans on here seem to disagree with you.

Maybe after that list is compiled, you could write down a top 10 list of Premier league riders and compare them?

Then what does that say about the standard of the Premier league? I don't understand how people can make digs about the poor standard of the Elite league on one hand while on the other champion the merits of the Premier league!!

"silly money" by Havelock's standards might not be silly money at all to others. He could also just be exaggerating because he's lost out on his signature. A young Aussie reserve pairing of Tungate and Heeps at Ipswich? Would be a mouthwatering one for Ipswich fans that's for sure.

Isn't Heeps still only 15 years old? Of course he's going to be raw and make mistakes. I believe he's only this year started riding 500cc machines from 250. Seems some people expect the kid to be riding like a seasoned pro already. For whatever reason, the knives have been out for the lad ever since he set foot in this country which is a bit sad really.

That can't be right. According to Montie the lad is riding for Sheffield next year

I'm told Sam Masters is one rider who has already contacted the Ipswich promotion about a ride next year.

On his Facebook, he has recently "liked" Peterborough panthers........

Which makes the comments from "Rusty" from "trackside" sound even more bitter and harsh in the extreme! From the updates site "Jammy *expletive*, Russ says it's not often he gets angry with National League speedway, but Heeps knew he was beaten on the start, leant on Nick and then fell off. Ref fell for it and it's all 4 back. Nice bloke Mick Posselwhite, Russ says he's known him for ages, but that was wrong. He now adds that Heeps is still down.The paramedic and the ambulance are on the track, but he stands by his original assessment, hat he went down too easy and conned the ref."

Second time in as many meetings he's fell in heat 15. I think you can put that down to fatigue. The poor sod is getting flogged to death with 7 rides every meeting

Heeps is clearly going to be hot property over the next year or two. Fair play to Ippo if they've signed the lad it's good to see they've gotten there first for a change. I'll follow the lads progress with interest.

Something you see many many times. This is something that really seems to wind fans up when it happens against them. Except when the rider staying down after a fall is YOUR rider and his partner is not in a favourable position, then it's a case of STAY DOWN!!

No Cameron Heeps? He would certainly lighten things up.

Mildenhall should enjoy the lad while they can. Must be nailed on he'll walk in to the Ippo side next season

I've heard a lot about this lad a few down Dorset way are saying he's an awesome talent who will go far. Seems to be an entertaining racer too by all accounts so it will be interesting to see how he goes. Is he a Mildenhall asset?

Nonsense. Ryan Fisher was scathing of the new silencers after the meetings and claimed every time he tried a wide line his engine was dying.

Scunny is an awesome race track, but that was awful stuff. Is this a sign of things to come? The silencers were causing problems out on the dirtline leading to everyone sticking to the slick inside line!! Great move. This will get the crowds flocking back!!

The Poole meeting at Foxhall earlier in the season was one of the best meetings i've seen this year and i've been just about everywhere. The track is now a superb shape for racing. Plenty of lines and there was passing inside and outside. Heat 13 ding dong battle between Miskowiak and Batchelor where Batch tried the heavy tactics and failed was awesome.
