semion Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Has Simon Lambert done any meetings for Stoke as yet ? It does rather seem like they are always dragging in guests to fill the Number 1 berth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) So long as Stoke win by 8, I'm happy I'll leave the predictions to Squall in future Speedway can be a strange sport - I thought the King's Lynn-Lakeside match a few weeks ago (which had plenty of passing) was rubbish but this (which had little) was pretty entertaining. It must be that this one was close for at least half the meeting and both sides looked in with a shout (the final score definitely flattered Stoke), the other being the complete opposite. For Stoke, Atkin and Webster were dependable, Armstrong sublime and Sargeant impressive but pride of place goes to Pickard. I saw him at Plymouth last year and thought he was a decent rider but this was the best NL performance I have seen this season, his pass on Brundle in heat 15 being a matter of fierce determination and skill. PL sides looking for a 3pt rider could do a lot worse than give him a call. Baseby, Halsey and Hargreaves in particular showed plenty of fight for the Tigers but Laurence is out of his depth, Blackbird looks very good when he gates and a novice when he doesn't and Brundle was an NL No 1 in two races and disinterested in the other three. The crowd eventually seemed about the same size as PL matches and I suspect above break even figures. Good to see. Quick mention for the chap behind me who helped with heat times after my usual helpers (the frost bitten feet fen females) failed miserably, and one to my old sparring partner Proud Potter - nice touch to salute the crowd at the end, Malcolm, few more officials could do that.
