Blazeaway Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Woffy Aussie or Brit : My view is its the same as football, at a young age I dont think it matters who you ride for or what your nationality is, I said its the same as football as Ryan Giggs used to play for England at youth level, however when becoming a senior player he chose Wales, now if they had made him keep playing for England we may have won another World Cup. Who knows? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Arrgggggghhhhhh!!!!! Ryan Giggs played football for England schoolboys because he went to school in England. He was always going to play for Wales. Well done Ed, after getting taken out last year he deserved it. Good to see Willy doing well a good little rider in my opinion very under rated.

Guest sjl Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Wasn't able to post yesterday due to PC problems. I really enjoyed the meeting despite the time it took to complete. The young lads went for it and produced some good racing even though the track was very slick. I was impressed by the sportsmanship shown by the riders who when they fell made every effort to get up so the race could continue, you don't see that in the Elite League very often! Congratulations to Eddie who was the best rider on show by some margin. There was little home advantage for Eddie or Lewis as the track was totally diferent to the usual, with no outside line after 7 or 8 heats. I cannot remember it ever being so slick, I can only assume this was done under the event organisers instructions. Shame really as there were several lads out there who looked willing to have a blast round the outside. Finally it was nice to meet with SJL and partner who were on their first visit from Coventry. Hope to see you at Coventry later in the season, or maybe when Coventry visit next, you Bees always seem to take the points home with you <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hope you're right about us taking the points we may be without Scotty though by the looks of it Hoping to make the journey on 19th so see you then!

Harvey Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Just got back home from a good weekend in Eastbourne. Well done to Ed Kennett on winning. I felt sorry for James Wright who had mechanical problems. Daany King was also unlucky to have an engine failure when second, which would have given him an automatic place in the final. In the semi he was rightfully excluded after losing control on the second bend. Likewise Lewis was rightfully excluded and the worrying thing for me is that although very talented he is showing himself to be petulant and arrogant. I have read this on here but was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt until I witnessed it for myself. The wheelies before the start has to stop and as others have said, someone should take him in hand. Tai, what a great performance from this lad. It is the first time that I have seen him race and what a racer. Very impressed with Ben Barker as well last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and was also pleased I stayed overnight otherwise don't know what time I would have got back to Peterborough. Once again well done to Ed Kennett. Alan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Many Congratulations to Eddie...he really looked the finished Article on saturday...very professional look and very determined riding, putting the bike exactly when he wanted it. Seems to have is career back on track and he'll benefit enormously from riding alongside Mr Crump and having Middlo around won't hurt his international aspirations. Lewis however may need to be taken under the wing of others apart from Messrs Pedersen & Norris. I thought it was a great meeting, although finishing so late was well past the bedtime of many of the competitors! Shame the ref had to pick up on every bit of an indiscretion...can't remember seeing so many reruns in nearly 35years of watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles v Bees matches are usually pretty close, (Except the last one of course ) with a decent guest for Scotty you will do all right .

Harvey Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yeah, what a terrible influence. Former World Champ and current GP series leader. Sorry I forgot, we've had 1 GP so far haven't we?! ...and there are lots of former world champs, some who deserve it more than others and many many more great riders who never quite got there. ...but the influences on a tempestuous 17 year old needs to be monitored very carefully.

Starman2006 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 : Shut up Starman ya numpty Nothing to do with his move to Poole, Edward has got his head into gear this year cos his Uncle Barney is in his camp! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice to know there is somebody in Eddies camp who will make sure Eddie keeps his feet on the floor!. But he still made the right move to Poole. Under Neil and Jason, he will come on in lumps. He's starting to show this already.eh Shazzybabe-er bird xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Attendance at Eastbourne on Saturday reported as 1,400 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder how much that compares to what Eastbourne get for a league meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I wonder how much that compares to what Eastbourne get for a league meeting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The crowd looked only the same as a run-of-the-mill fixture. No idea as to the exact figure. A real shame, as many would have enjoyed the racing & effort being showed. Woffinden worth the entrance money alone.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Woffinden worth the entrance money alone. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As he is every week at Rye House.. Whatever happened to Josh Auty though..: surely he'd have been expected to score a lot more..? Did he have bike troubles/falls etc...??

PhilK Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Can hardly stay on the bike when he is upped a level it seems Derek. Looked very much like a novice at Eastbourne tbh. Maybe this is down to pressure and expectation of him by others? As he seems very fluent and fast in the CL, or is it just that the lad is going to take longer to reach his potential than originally expected? I have seen him ride like this before at Kings Lynn for Rye House and in the CL Riders Final last season. Tai meanwhile seems to have the composure to take everything in his stride, oh yeah and a bloody fast bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember that Tai was all at sea that night aswell All part of the learning curve at 16 years old.
