vog Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 You shall indeed see me on bend 1! Hoping for a Stoke win, given that Rambo will be set for 6 rides, and Pickard, Sarj and Atkin between them should score enough to see us do well!

Mimmo Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Following a break of five weeks since our last home fixture, it’s certainly good to be back, and if we could have handpicked our opponents, we couldn’t have made a better choice than that of reigning league leaders Stoke. I was fortunate enough on two counts, to be in the Staffordshire/Derbyshire district last weekend, and witnessed two meetings of the highest calibre. Saturday night saw the ‘Eazy Rider’ Potters take on and demolish what has to be said is a very talented Dudley outfit, to the tune of 61-34. Proud Potter, Potty Potter, call him what you like, but team-manager Malcolm Vasey, has assembled a team here that are second to none, and despite their defeat at Mildenhall yesterday, are going to be a tough nut indeed to crack. Currently occupying pole position in the National League table, they are now my personal favourites to go on to claim ultimate glory come the seasons end. Never at third tier level have they ever put any silverware into the Loomer Road cabinet, so any success will be long over due, and now very deserving. Can we beat them on their inaugural National League visit to the Norfolk Arena, only time will tell, but following our fabulous win at Buxton on Sunday afternoon, we must be brimming with confidence, which points to tonight being a classic. Leading the way for the Staffordshire outfit is our own asset SIMON LAMBERT who is riding as well if not better than at any stage during his career. A combined score of thirty-six points in his two meetings at the weekend, is proof of the pudding, if any was needed, and he’s gonna be a pain in the butt to us on Wednesday, that’s for sure. Winner of the NL Pairs with partner Tim Webster at Newport in June, there’s nothing the Gosberton Risegate rider would like more than to add a championship winning medal to go alongside that too. Whether we’ll see TIM WEBSTER in action, only time will tell. He was left feeling battered and bruised following a recent crash on the Isle of Wight, and missed the weekend meetings. Born 22-years ago in Birmingham, he actually made his racing debut in 2004 in our colours, failing to score in four rides at Weymouth. If unavailable, Stoke have enough in depth scoring power to cover his rider-replacement outings. Captain and at 45-years of age the old boy of the side, comes TONY ATKIN. Born in Wrexham, the Welshman is showing no signs of slowing down, and is as inspirational a leader as you could ever hope to find, as can be seen by his artistic way of team-riding (watch out, I’m coming through!). Like Lambert and Webster, he’s also a previous winner of the NL Pairs, with his success coming in 2009 when wearing the colours of Newport. Born on the 16 November 1993 in Sheffield, JAMES SARJEANT’S only claim to fame thus far is that he shares a birthday with triple world champion Ole Olsen and Oswald Mosley, who is no relation to me. 2011 marks his third year in speedway, having spent a while as the Sheffield mascot, and with a 5-point plus average to his name, suggests he learning the shale game at a rapid rate of knots. JAIMIE PICKARD has been on the racing scene for almost six-years now, and is a protégé of Buxton rider Dean Felton. He’s had a spell in the Premier League this term with Plymouth, but before he had chance to catch his breath, the Devon club replaced him with Guglielmo Franchetti. As his 7.86 average would suggest, he’s a scorer of big points in this league, and will be difficult to contain. Born BEN WILLIAM READE on the 27 March 1991 in Swindon, he rode his speedway at Plymouth last year, progressing well. Following Stoke’s decision to drop down a league this year, he was offered a role with the club, just 4-days before his twentieth birthday, and has grasped the opportunity with both hands. A great prospect indeed. Last but by no means least, the man wearing the No 7 Red & White bib is GARETH ISHERWOOD. The likeable Manchester lad has devoted his career to Buxton and Stoke, apart from a short spell with Scunthorpe last year, and personifies what loyalty is all about. He’s seldom a big scorer, but is the sort of rider that every team needs to be able to call upon from the reserve berth in there hour of need. So folks, it's the usual start time of 7.30pm and hope to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Processional stuff tonight, can recall only five overtakes although plenty of effort on display. Thoroughly deserved win for the Potters, Lambert as expected outstanding but the engine room of Sarjent and Atkin did the real damage, the former looking an excellent prospect while the latter used all his experience and rode superbly. Birks and Kerr very much the top men for the Young Stars but the rest too inconsistent out of the gate to push Stoke harder. Finally on a positive note the attendance appeared to be very healthy for an NL fixture with a fair smattering of Stoke fans, and it was good to catch up with Vog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCastles Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well done to the Potters. Im sure Vog had a top night out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Was pretty processional, as Bagpuss says, up until about heat 13, then the Stoke boys learned how to pass Good to get another away win, especially as it looked so close for so long. Sarj, Atkin and Lambert were all immense for Stoke, combining for 39 points. Bring on Dudley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostylion Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well done Sarg! Great to see him bounce back after being shat on last year,keep it up young man,good to see a young brit doing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I think that was a terrible night's entertainment. Nothing happened just FTG after FTG. A full on bore-fest. What is very disappointing is watching Jake Knight going further & further backwards by the week. Can't gate, can't pass and no track craft. Time & time again he tries to ride the fence, never looking to go down the inside. Very frustrating. Positives, Only Lewis Kerr from last night for the home team (should have been in heat 15 without doubt). I so hope this kid can make it as he does look the part. Seem to get quicker as the night went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
