  1. Disgraceful move from Garrity on kemp - so unnecessary to squeeze him the point of riding into him on the back straight - to be honest he was an idiot all night, I’d imagine Mason Campton will be saying to Scunthorpe I ain’t guesting for you again if I’m paired with him! Supposed to be teammates on the night and Garrity trying to knock him off every race!! i think Gino has ensured tonight he won’t be seen in a witches race suit again anytime soon! fairplay to Garcia rode superbly, and well done to drew looked good all night great move in ht2 and was in the mix in his last one before Garrity rode into him.
  2. While I still think Gino has potential to improve - kemp beating him 3 times on a track he’s been riding all year in only his 3rd meeting at this level leads me to say no, kind of feel like Gino was ahead of most of the young Americans coming through a few years ago but has now been surpassed by the likes of Luke Becker, Broc Nicol, perhaps the ruml brothers too - so he’ll have to work hard to maintain his eligibility for a visa in the years to come too
  3. BWD went for a gap that evaporated in front of him, he came from a long way back having made a long straight with a lot of speed - riss just riding the line he wished as entitled to being in front - had to go wide as team and Coty was on the inside, I feel it was a genuine racing incident to be honest but of fault is to be found BWD could of shut off glad to see all three get up and walk away - some big bike bills no doubt
  4. As someone said in an earlier post I just can’t see how you can replace schlein and king with Newman and R/R and expect to win a meeting! great effort from drew he was on the pace all night - encouraging debut! Coty was good value Heeps poor and improved to average in a couple of races but honestly don’t think he’ll be back in the UK next year, can’t see him being back at Ipswich and really not sure who he’d appeal to on his average covatti poor although a couple of good races later on - too little too late riss did his job - can’t expect him to always be banging in big points Newman woeful season over. tom Bacon superb - have to see he’s improved year on year fantastic tonight
  5. Why? Just out of curiosity? Always gone very well at Foxhall
  6. Campton and m.riss would make very handy home reserves in the top flight! Along with an East Anglian based former world champion @ no.1 and it’s a very good start to team building!
  7. To be honest if there wasn’t the time pressure to get our remaining meetings in this would’ve been called off hours ago - track was possibly rideable but was never going to be raceable from what I could see. Farcical it got to the point it did all the riders would’ve been there well before the meeting. Perfect advert for track covers today! Could’ve prepped track to a point covered track - rain stopped around 330-4pm giving them 3/4hrs to ready the track from then on
  8. Forecast for Thursday not looking ideal at the moment
  9. No great surprise! Hardly an inspiring replacement for the wolves fans tho imo
  10. Kyle wasn’t tentative when he went through his teammate last night!
  11. Haha gone all out and got rid of the glass and half filled the bath baldy!? Best hope is a point but can’t see it happening to be honest - their support riders to top boys will make ours look silly imo
  12. Chatting with dad last night and think he may struggle for a team next year.... average is likely to stay around 6 can’t see that appealing to many out teams out there - can’t see him being back at Foxhall and it’s not like he’s been anywhere else this year and other teams will have looked at him and thought yeah he looks good...! on another note if it came down to a decision between Scotty or Danny next year I’d have to say I’d want Scott - so good to see him looking for a teammate like rory does
  13. I’m amazed he’s still got a job at wolves
  14. Good home win! Heeps needs to have a hard look at himself letting us down way too often! Said to mark riss when he came round for the collection, “I hope you’re back next year” and he replied “I hope so too!” My dad then said to him “bring ya brother as well” and he gave a rye smile! Could be a German revolution next year if haertel gets another go too!!
  15. From what I gather he’s battered and bruised and took a big hit to his hip not his head
  16. After two positive displays hopeful of a tight home win! Any news as to whether nick Morris will be riding? He’s not fit for tonight’s meeting between Somerset/Swindon
  17. There’s 1 scheduled fixture clash not exactly a massive problem - surely if both teams reach the playoffs it won’t be too difficult to sort out - in fact prem playoffs are normally shown on tv so would be a Monday anyway
  18. I still think Bellego would be worth a go to be honest but yes appreciate really not a lot of options out there!
  19. Having had a good friend who suffered nerve damage playing rugby a few years back I’d be amazed to see Danny back this season - he regained full strength in time but time was the key! I guess we’ll just have to hope a suitibale replacement can be found before the cut off really don’t want to going r/r in playoffs should we reach them
  20. To be fair would’ve been a little more comfortable had nico not suffered a puncture when leading and if rory hadn’t cut nico off in 15 then he was going round both and would’ve been a 4-2 also stopping Redcar getting a point - although not a big win we were ahead from heat 1 and generally in control throughout, riss looked good all night, Garcia a good start and should get better on the Home track in the next few weeks I know Wallinger is a stop gap etc. But from what I’ve seen today the only points he’s gonna get will be inherited via exclusions and retirements - puts a lot of pressure on the other guys knowing we’ve either gotta win with 6 riders or 5 when running r/r for Danny!
  21. No one can have any idea what the league structures will be next year - this year frankly has been a disaster! Wednesdays are no good for top league it should be Mondays fixed night as woffy said in the speedway star end of. The lack of fixtures in the championship has been farcical - I’d imagine there’ll be more changes for next year again
  22. e management were damned if they do damned if they don’t! There isn’t an abundance of riders available, it’s clear with the guests available for danyon and mountain at reserve we weren’t going to get the points we needed! while I’m not bowled over with the changes made the simple fact is riss should do as well as Jeppesen and in truth should score more, Garcia will score more than mountain home and away and when kemp gets in he should get a few points too. for me the big pressure now is on heeps to do his job and get a minimum of 7 away from home and 9/10 at home every week - if he carries on getting 3 away from Homeetc. Then it doesn’t really matter who’s staying or coming in you can forget it!

  24. But also if dare I say we lost a rider to injury during the meeting it leaves us vulnerable.....again! We’ve just lost a meeting to a team we should’ve comfortably beat at home! Let’s face it Workington still only just got it done in the last race! We had no option to bring a guest in for cam but we do for Danny so why not do so - cannot have anymore slip ups if we have any chance of getting in the playoffs
