stressed Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 WILDCATS DICE WITH THE DEVILS By Weymouth Speedway ~ Thursday 22nd July 2010 Weymouth Weyline Wildcats change their race night to Saturday [24th July] against the Plymouth Devils this week in National league action. Phil Bartlett Wildcats chairman will unveil a new signing Saturday evening who steps into the team replacing Terry Day. The new signing is a temporary measure to allow Day the time he needs to fully recover his fitness before he embarks on a track return for the Wildcats. Day who suffered a horrific crash at the Wessex Stadium in May was scoring well above his average; this had put his team mates under increasing pressure covering for his rides whilst the team has been struggling for form. With National league and Premier league experience the new signing who has raced at the Wessex Stadium previously is sure to be a hit with supporters at the Radipole Lane circuit when all is revealed.

ash Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Does Paul Starke have a great deal of Premier experience? Someone who does...Lee Smethills who also rode for Weymouth last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Plenty of talking points in this one. Controversy,exclusions,numerous falls,dodgy track and a Weymouth win. Weymouth Bekker 3,f,2,0 = 5 McKinna 2',1,3,fx,1 = 7+1 Brown 2,2,2,3 = 9 Cottham 1',1',1',3 = 6+3 Cockle 2,3,3,1,3 = 12 Andrews 3,1,1,2' = 7+1 Chessell 0,1',0,2' = 3+2 Plymouth Glanz 1,3,2,2',0 = 8+1 Gough 0,0,1' = 1+1 Bates 3,fx,1,1 = 5 Stephens 0,2,3,1 = 6 Simmonds 3,3,3,3,2 = 14 Pickard 2,2',2,0,0,0 = 6+1 Reade 1',0,0 = 1+1 Excellent start from Adam McKinna.Apart from picking up and hitting his team mate,gaining an exclusion,he would have scored more. Most of the problems were centred on the 3rd and 4th turns.Seemed to rut up badly,causing lots of problems.Riders from both teams requesting extra grading.Chessell,Bekker,Bates,McKinna all falling there.Chessell led Ht3 until the last bend.Quite how the others missed him,Im not sure.I found it very amusing as Mike Bowden clearly shouted 'you ought to get your track sorted out'.Talk about pot calling the kettle black! Yes I know the Plymouth track has recently been bladed smooth,but look how long its taken! The controversy surrounded Glanz and Cockle in Ht11.The 'Cats pair gated,but Glanz bulldozed his way past down the back straight.Elbows in all directions.Cockle chased him down and picked up a lot of drive coming off the 2nd bend.In doing so,he clattered into the side of Glanz.It sure looked like a bit of 'payback'.IF Glanz had fallen,Im equally sure Cockle would have been excluded. With Weymouth 6pts up going into Ht13,Cockle breaks the tapes,and goes off 15 metres.Devils get a 5-1.Ht14 sees Stephens lead until 3rd lap,where he slowed considerably.Both 'Cats went by for the match winning points.Ht15 sees Glanz break the tapes! Good to meet up with the many Devils fans on the 3rd/4th turns.Some lively banter as always.Of those I spoke to,they all said the same thing,The Devils have gone from being top heavy to being top top heavy.Nearly all agreed that with Paul Starke in the team,the Devils would have won this meeting. To an extent,the points Weymouth dropped flattered Plymouth a little. Edited July 25, 2010 by BobC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well done to Adam (McK). Not Bad (7 + 1) for someone who broke their neck just 8 weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockcat Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Plenty of talking points in this one. Controversy,exclusions,numerous falls,dodgy track and a Weymouth win. Mr Bartlett said the track was relaid last week,could'nt have done a very good job then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Wanderer Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Good debut from Adam McKinna and the races between James Cockle and Nicky Glanz were "interesting" to say the laest with neither taking any prisoners. Not a bad meeting but there has to be some worry about the track on 3rd and 4th bends. It seemed like the ruts and holes from 2003-2006 have suddenly reappeared. Mind you, it was rather hilarious hearing Plymouth fans complaining about a track after having gone through the St Bumpyface era that used to be Plymouth.
