Hey Shadders are Kebabs back on the menu now ? :D

I've never stopped eating them throughout the period of the weight loss... Only now it's chicken shish and not doner!!

Gjedde double up a no brainer, but this is Len we're talking about, so expect Alan Mogridge to come out of retirement.

 

Gjedde is a steal on high eights and madness to think of anyone else. Obviously wants a PL ride as he signed for Newport.

 

Best wishes to Chris Neath.

Or maybe Belle Vue and the rider might not want him to make the move.

Lanham has to be signed for the season now... may not be the most exciting to watch, but is steady and can gate, rather like the chap he is hopefully replacing!

 

Looks like a night in with a take away kebab tomorrow if the weather forecast is anything to go by!

 

It might not be quite as easy as that. During his whole career Leigh has been a Witches asset despite attempts by Arena-Essex and, later, Lakeside to make heir moves. Ipswich are in their hour of need just now so it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to recall him. He lives in Ipswich so it might be an attractive offer.

I'm sure Neathy is on very good money, so Gjedde wouldn't necessarily cost too much more, plus it'll p*ss the hell out of the Bandits fans, which ain't a bad thing!

Makes sense with him living almost next to Foxhall

 

 

Am just catching up on the terrible events of last night. Was it track conditions or just bad luck for so many crashes?

Riders were definitely struggling with the track early doors, but seemed to settle down towards the end... Neathy and Risagers falls were down to the track In my opinion, but the Taylor Poole incident was just a typical first bend incident you see every week, only this time Taylor Poole was very unlucky!

Shadders, why do you think Neath's and Risager's falls were down to the track? What was wrong with it?

 

I'm no track expert either by the way, but when we turned up the first topic of convo was how the track looked in good nick. A little slick maybe, but not deep or tricky to ride. Cameron Heeps, one of the least experienced riders out there, looked like a seasoned pro and had no problems whatsoever. To me, a number of riders just looked very rusty and the falls were down to rider error rather than the track.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, only that they were struggling ;) ... You could be right, perhaps they were rusty... Maybe the track was a little patchy and the dampness in the air won't have helped much.

Gjedde would take us 0.05 over the limit, shame as he'd be a top signing. Could be a re-jig on the cards though, if Lanham is recalled as is very much a possibility then Gjedde and Gathercole could fit with scope to re-introduce Nelson for a lower order rider on his arrival.

 

Such a shame about Neathy, was in the form of his career last season, shame we won't get to see if he can carry that on.
