boozer Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) It seems there is some confusion regarding a couple of riders Stoke have signed, according to Speedway Star. Edited February 17, 2011 by boozer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comebackkings Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I hope the new potters riders will enjoy the new forgiving safety fence?!!!! Having seen riders slide under the air fence at Gloomy rd, the new Steel barrier will be most welcoming, Not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek 613 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I hope the new potters riders will enjoy the new forgiving safety fence?!!!! Having seen riders slide under the air fence at Gloomy rd, the new Steel barrier will be most welcoming, Not! The normal wooden fence (new panels) which was been there before will sit in front of the new steel barrier and then the air fence in front of that.

I know which one I would rather hit Derek,someone will be badly injured that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen riders slide under the air fence at Gloomy rd, the new Steel barrier will be most welcoming, Not! Can't say that I like the idea of a steel barrier ... reminds me of the KL concrete BUT - I do remember the injuries Luke Priest sustained when he landed speared on the remains of a metal post the other side of the safety fence. The injuries he sustained I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horneymikh Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Good solid signing Know much about him that you can tell us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil H Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Has the ability to be a good rider. Finished runner-up to Jason Garrity in the 2008 Under 15's Championship and rode for Scunthorpe in 2009. Last year he was at Dudley until being dropped for Micky Dyer & then went to Bournemouth. Hopefully he will have learned a lot from his experiences last year and will come on a lot at Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Good young prospect, from what i saw of him last season, he was unlucky to get dropped, and he just neesds the right equipment to go places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCastles Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks to everyone else who answered the question for me. My opinion was based on what ive seen of him (which is only a couple of times) but hes always been competitive, scored & been 100% committed. Hence my description of a him being a good solid signing. He has ability and will at least maintain his average IMO. With TA & Lambert, Vasey & a good racetrack at Stoke, he could be a big improver.

spin king Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nice to see young James sorted with a club, if he can steer clear of injuries could put some decent points on his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 With the right equipment, I would expect James to push on to a 5+ average this season, at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ive watched James at Amateur and practices at Scunny for years, he's a good rider, rode well in 2009 for Scunny but didn.t have such a good year in 2010. no reason why he shouldn't reach his potential this year if he can avoid injuries.

Baldy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think James was messed about last year a little and for a 16/17 year old lad that just wants to ride is not very good at all. Expect the lad to settle with a regular ride at Stoke. Welcome James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyChesgire Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Two more to go....! Want to see the fixture list now ! Am hoping to go to the grass track meet in a couple of weeks, should feed the need nicely ! Not sure about the Team Viking meet it's the day before Mothers Day - that might be a hard sell with Mrs Chubby ! I assume Smarty's average is now too high for NL ?

Yes, a rider can't double down if his PL average is above 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Saint Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yes, a rider can't double down if his PL average is above 4. I understand that was increased to 5.00 at the NL AGM Malcolm Vasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
