Michael Lee, Chris Louis and Kevin Jolly, did remarkably well last year to make the Fen Tigers reach the Play-off's and win the KO Cup. They've laid the foundations for a perfect National League club to help progress the youth side of the sport, which use to be one of GB's strong points at so many tracks. But in recent years have slipped away. However the Mildenhall promotion have got the right idea in staying in the NL for this year and hopefully for many more season's as it produces much more exciting racing than Elite League and Premier League most weeks at West Row. A plus was that Mildenhall 6 British riders in there camp, which proves there is talent around and known of them had Premier League commitments, which kept a injury free for most of the season (apart from Cam getting injured) but this is the foundation that most clubs have lost in past years.
Now with next year I can see the team not changing much with: Danny, Lewis, Aaron and Joe staying. Now with whom they bring in is down to the promotion because so many of the away riders rode the West Row circuit well. So they have got some good boys to choose from. But for the reserve positions I’d like to see some of the academy riders get the 6 and 7 those, as it would progress their own careers. I mean look at the Scunthorpe line-up for next year so far it is riders from their winter series who've impressed them from the last series and this current one. So I’d like to see Trevor Heath, Niall Strudwick, Adam Portwood and Adam Kirby get rides in there, because they rode well against Milton Keynes in their only academy match, plus it wouldn't be a bad idea to enter the Midland League. At least they'd get regular rides and not just practise after the meetings.
