roguetrader Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 that just about sums it up Wag. Well i really hope you are all happy with yourselves developing Australian talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljack Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Erm no he wont. He didnt beat Lambert once and he will not like heat 13's as number one. Mildenhall have exploited Heeps who is a great little rider but he is as British as the Pope. He will follow Nick Morris and chase the Team Australia because that it where he is from. Make no mistake great for Mildenhall but rubbish for British speedway development. Lets not beat about the bush, without Heeps you would be a distant memory this season. I think if you read others comments on here about your reply to me, you will see the truth about Lambert and Heeps without doubt roguetrader and realise you are wrong! Or will you?

CardinalSin Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Erm no he wont. He didnt beat Lambert once and he will not like heat 13's as number one. Unfair. Lambert is a very experienced rider and is scoring very well at Premier league level let alone NL. Lambert won heat one in 50.7 seconds, Heeps then won heat two in an identical time. Lambert won heat 5 in 51.3, Heeps then won heat 6 in 51 seconds dead. Heat 15 looked as though it was going to be a ding dong battle between the two of them until his fall. Now this is a rider (Lambert) who as i've said, is scoring very well for Sheffield at Premier level. Heeps is 15 years old, has been over here a matter of weeks, has only just jumped upon a 500cc machine, and is already on the pace and mixing it with Premier league riders. Quite incredible really and the lad obviously has immense talent. A terrific ADDITION to the British league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bitterness towards Cameron Heeps is completely misplaced and unnecessary No its not you are just blinkered. Take a good look at Nick Morris's progression. Heeps will follow exactly the same. Mildenhall are exploiting him and he is doing exactly the same of the flawed British National League system. if you are not born in this Country you should not be able to ride in the National League. Sooner they close that loophole the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montie Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Heeps without doubt is a huge talent,and will become an awesome rider,which is one of the reasons i think he shouldnt be is the NL,next year he will hop up to the PL an do a decent job,is there any point in young Heeps riding in the NL?? I think here its the average he started on which is slightly unfair,he is obviously better than an assessed 3!the powers at be granted him this,not him,its not his fault,yet Joe Haines,who a few weeks ago,was in need of a team place,yet his average is to high?? A young British kid cant get in the NL to try and start his season after a huge crash,yet they bend over back wards for an Austrailian lad,that plain wrong And Mildenhall havnt met the mighty Saints yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Sharman Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes good post and I agree basically with most of what you say. Its great at Mildenhall these days and seeing Lee and Jolly always there geeing up the riders make Witches fans jealous when Chris Louis attends meetings only when he feels like it just like at Mildenhall. As other have pointed out your analogy with Sir Alex Ferguson just does not hold any water. He is the Manager of Manchester United and attends all their matches. Do the club owners/promoters attend ALL the matches? Pete Simmons is the Ipswich Speedway Team Manager and he attends ALL the Witches meetings Home and Away. Chris Louis as the Ipswich Speedway Director of Speedway AND one of THREE co-promoters at Mildenhall Speedway could not have possibly been in two places at once on Sunday, with Ipswich riding AWAY at Newcastle, whilst Mildenhall were at West Row versus Stoke. After returning home from his SkySports duties late on Saturday night, he was still up and out of his front door by 8am on Sunday to drive himself to Newcastle to be with the Witches, ONE of his teams he has a responsibility to. This left his TWO remaining co-promoters to run the meeting at Mildenhall. To show the full commitment of the Louis family at Mildenhall however, it may be of interest to note that even though Chris himself was not there, his wife, his sister, his mother and two daughters were all in attendance to help with the running of the meeting and the fundraising. To me, that shows a very high degree of support for the Fen Tigers and speedway in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 All i will say is im pleased that you support the young aussie Cameron because your viteral slagging off of Jerran Hart is appaling to say the very least, i wonder if you have approached him and told him face to face or you hide behind your key board like a faceless child. Junior Woosh, straight over alljacks head. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think what gets at people the most is the fact that this young lad has come in on "false" average; although this is not known completly until the lad had rode. All suspected that he would, but until he took to the track, thats all that it was a suspicition. I have nothing against the lad; in fact I went down to watch the Tigers take on Dudley just to watch him ride and expect to see him ride at Loomer again in the "play offs" or whatever they are called. He is an exciting rider and isn't that what we want to see?. I do. The way riders get averages is a major flaw in the sport. They had the chance when the"rolling" averages came in but these are not rolling but stagnant averages to a degree when a rider acheives his average. Think it's true that some Wolves riders could be using 2010 rides to cal their 2012 average. FARCE. Take last six or eight meetings and drop and pick up every meeting after. Anyway good luck to Heeps, you have a great future ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendpostie Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 After the weekend when he's a fully fledged No 1, I can see him being in great demand when other clubs No 1, s are unavailable, and now in my best Kevin Keegan impersonation ! " I'd love it, Id really love it if Cam guested for certain teams " would'nt it be interesting to see if the detractors changed there tune then ?

June Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The same old arguments over the british lads and the Aussie boys.....I thought this year was suppose to be a NL for only british kids yet the Aussies still get in through one way or the other. Australia (a huge country get their youngsters speedway career started then send them over in their droves for GB leagues to put in the finishing touches, ready to take on all other countries. Cheap way of doing it for them whilst the promoters of our county struggle. Makes no sense but nothing will change! People will still have differing opinions on the matter. Cant blame the Aussie youngsters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek 613 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yer thats true,maybe the Sheffield fans would love to see him Cameron is unable to race at PL level until he is 16yo, unless you are talking about the Sheff/Scun team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Cameron is unable to race at PL level until he is 16yo, unless you are talking about the Sheff/Scun team It's possible, as they did try and get him to guest for Gary Irving last week, but failed for one reason or another. Or maybe Montie is hinting at something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichkev Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Wake up Kev. If they had used seven rides Heeps in heat 11 he could not have ridden in heat 15 when he obviously couldnt cope with the pressure of a true British Premier League reserve. You are right RT that he could not have run in Ht 15, the way we saw it was that Ht 11 he stood a better chance of beating TA and kept a healthier margin IMO that Ht 11 was a pivotal point in the meeting - Ht 15 would then have been of less importance and run with Hargreaves and Blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
