  1. Great meeting last night good to see most of the team firing.Taylor and Ty doing what they were brought in for.Hope Ty isn't injured,he was on fire last night.Nasty looking crash,glad to see him get up.Well done to Ben Wilson,great return but I hope it continues.The score flattered Newcastle with Ty,Steady and Andre dropping big points.Well done to all the team.Think we will miss Steady for 4 meetings world cup week which isn't ideal just when we getting our season started.
  2. Lets hope he hits the ground running,we need him to be in the big points straight away because I think it will be a tough meeting tomorrow.Shame he cant start at reserve.
  3. Not a change I would have made but hope he can do the business.I thought we weren't going with our old brigade ?
  4. Apparently we tried to get a fixture last Thursday but no teams were prepared to help !!!!!!!!! That is what we are up against.Wonder if roynon will be offered his place back ?
  5. I was told at the weekend other teams are not helping us with fixture changes so that is why theres no update,and riders we are after are wanting silly money or going to miss too many meetings so theres no change imminent unless its changed since the weekend.The new promotors are trying but nothings going our way at the moment.
  6. Good meeting last night glad to see ty proctor having a good meeting,Lets hope he can keep that performance up home and away.Well done to all the team.
  7. 6 man teams may be a start and treat the 3rd tier as a development instead of having your steve worralls and simon lambert type riders taking the limelight.Anybody got any better ideas? Anyway lets hope for a Tigers win tonight.
  8. Yes I agree with a shortage of riders but some of the fixtures are containing more guest and r/r than proper team members.How can you run a league like that? We may as well just have one large pool of riders and each team just picks 7 available riders when it suits.How can the sport be taken serious?Tomorrow night we will be using 6 riders once again cheating the public.Farcial.!!!!!!!!
  9. Expecting big things from taylor poole tomorrow at reserve,could be a match winner.Lanham/Compton partnership needs to be in top form too.After tomorrows home meeting we should be able to make the changes we need.Noticed Ty missing again at scunny !!! Doubling up and down should be scrapped its a joke rule.
  10. Stead and Lanham will have been selected at the time of the cut off date I would presume !!! Proctor may not have rode enough meetings ? His average changes after Rye house meeting so I would expect changes next week.
  11. I think its inevitable that changes will be made when the next averages come out.I cant see how proctor is scoring more in the All stars ( elite ) league than he does for us in the premier !!!!!!!! I would keep him on a 6 point average though.Lanham and poole have not pulled up too many trees with poole more likely to be replaced as lanham has connections with the promotion.Are the new promotion going to take a chance on a young Pole,Swede or Dane ? Who could we get in ? Anton Rosen would do a job for my money but is he available Thursdays ? Anders Mellgren ? Whatever happens the promotion wont be sat doing nothing about it. A losing team is not good for business.
  12. Hopefully proctor gets a reduced average next month which should help us to make changes.If we can get poole at reserve I think the easier rides would help his confidence.We definitely need another big hitter because steady is fighting a one man battle at the top end in heat 13 and 15.It would be good if we could pick up a good young talent like some of the other teams seem to pick up,already been impressed with Rosen,thomsen,fricke and Jorgensen this season.They have shown some of our more experienced lads how to ride their home track.Last night we wernt hard enough and we gave away a few points.Cant see next week been much easier.
  13. Roll on july.Ty proctor will do a sound job at reserve.Nowhere near a 9 point man we signed.Very disappointed.We are a one man team at the moment.
  14. Cant see a big home win but we could scrape a win if we get a bit of luck.Everybody needs to be on form but after seeing lanham on tv last night im not confident.Proctor has got to get it together now.hes been getting good points for wolves so it shouldnt be a problem now .47 -43 if we lucky.
  15. The double up/down rule has killed team speedway for me.The riders seem to just treat it as just another meeting/wage .How can it be taken seriously when you get riders riding for 3 teams in one country to a newcomer?.What was the point in us signing proctor ? he hardly rides for us making us very weak.Not good business for the home or away club.With clubs having falling gates it might be an option for the better supported clubs to join 1 league and the others form an amateur/national league type set up !!!!!!!!!
  16. The best time to make changes will be when we get the new set of averages then we know what we have got exactly to play with.At the moment I would expect Nielsen to make way and proctors average to drop so probably 6.5 ish.Who can we get for that ? Poole would possibly drop to reserve so that would surely be a shot in the arm for him.If he cant turn his season round from there then he has to go.We really need proctor to step it up.Hes getting plenty of meetings lately so he cant be using that excuse now for poor form.As for last night the result wasn't a shock,i just think it was stupid taking scunny on while we a rider short and out of form.Oh well lets move on and hope for better things to come.
  17. Cant see the positive side of racing scunny tomorrow when we knew Proctor would be missing.I know hes not set the world on fire yet but to take on scunny a rider short spells disaster to me and the potential of edinboro getting a result next week doesn't really set us up for the Berwick cup tie.At the end of the month we could be out of both cups bottom of the league and the season will be flat.I would love to be proved wrong and hope I am.Could we not have held a top gun and give bates Nielsen and poole a meeting with no pressure and invited a couple of foreign lads over ? Just a thought.
  18. I would take Douglas anytime,the lad has been awesome round Sheffield and hes got potential.
  19. Does that make a big difference ? If it was facu on the engines he had last season I cant see any benefit.Yes he was exciting but not on the pace !!!!!!!!
  20. Could it be Joe coming out of retirement to replace Ty ?
  21. Don't want hally.That would be a backward step for me.
  22. Obviously not fully fit,hope it doesn't mean missing Thursday because we going to have a backs to the wall meeting if proctors missing.
  23. Just looking at the Leicester scorers tonight and josh bates got 4 points ?? I thought he had pulled his back in his last race Thursday so couldn't make last nights massacre at edinboro !!!!
  24. Don't worry that wont happen this time,i can see edinboro winning at owlerton too. We aren't strong enough at the moment .I fear the size of the crowd if we get hammered with scunny on Thursday then the clash with the England game.!!!!!!!!!!
  25. Steady was pure class last night,josh was good value .Not a convincing performance probably down to lack of meetings.Worried about next week when we look under strength against scunny.Proctor away with wolves according to the fixtures.Fear the worst,
