robbo has had a benefit meeting and would have to give back the money from that and the fundraisers held for him i suspect if he wanted to make a full comeback

I'm not sure about the money from the benefit meeting Ben, but the insurance company may want their money back. From what I heard last night it's not money that's the biggest problem.

was andrew silver on the pace although he didnt score or not?

Not so sharp out of the traps most of the evening, but that's to be expected after such a long lay off. He was on Stefan Ekberg's bikes, but seemed to lack speed on the straights.

Liked the white line a little too much as well if I remember rightly.

His riding style was distinctly different from all the other riders.

 

Heat nine was undoubtedly his best as he was actually in front until half was down the back straight of the first lap, but was passed by Olly Allen and David Howe before the third bend. It took Danny Halsey a further two laps to find a way past though.

 

I don't know how many more punters showed up for his inclusion, but it was nice to see him in action again, as he was riding at number 1 for the Rockets in my first ever speedway meeting.

I thought his starts weren't so bad & for the first couple of laps in every race he was in the mix, but then you could tell he was struggling with race fitness. Didnt disgrace himself though by any means.

I thought that too, his starts were pretty good, until the red lights came on he was also leading the stopped heat where Tai Woffinden bruised his leg, it was the first time i had been to speedway for atleast 15 years and went to see Andrew ride, Just not fit enough.

I agree I thought his reactions at the gate were quite good, I noticed the different starting technique to other riders as well. He visibly tired as the race progressed and meeting progressed but this to be expected. Andrew riding in this meeting was the diffence between me going or not and it was good to see him ride again. If he is thinking of a comeback it would depend on how determined he is as he always had the talent.

Never in a Million years :wink: Just be another Bowen IMO :wink:

Luke put over a point and a half on his average this year. If all the other Rockets had done that we'd have won the league.

And if Luke had scored @ more of the away tracks we'd have won the league, if Luke had scored away @ KL in the Play offs we'd have been through even without Stefan

Don't be so stupid. We can't afford to indulge anybody if we want to be taken seriously.

 

I didnt say he's do a good job for the rockets. Just that he could do a good job. There are some teams that would have him if he was race fit.
