PhilK Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Stoke certainly have a decent top four availaibilty allowing! Â Although it will be interesting to see who, if any, are chosen from the riders listed in todays Speedway Star to fill the final two slots?

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 IMHO, the final slot should go to Tom Woolley.. Twice British junior champ at Short Track and won the Irish championship last year! Top rider on the Flat track and has toured USA...: experience none of the others in the frame have; and IMHO an excellent chance to make it big in Speedway! I guess I should've shared this with you 'privately, Malc, as someone else might after reading this come in and snap 'im up now! Though with my record as a tipster, maybe not!!!

vog Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I guess we'll see. It certainly is a unique opportunity for 2 rider's to go out there and earn themselves a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1967 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Is there a charge for admission Vog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Very poor. If winner of that is ur number 7, cud be very weak at reserve. Terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) I left quite early from the "race off". The fault of no one but after 1 1/2 hours we had seen very little of any riders due to falls etc and the need for ambulances. Only Dan Stoneman; who got hurt and Oliver Greenwood, who is racing for Scunthorpe I think this year were anywhere near the standard to go into the NL. Who were the final two riders to get the spots?. Only saw one race with Tom Woolley( I think thats his name) who was highly spoke off, but his bike was not going well although he pulled off a loop de loop on the way back to the pits. Looks like from Heathen 1984 we will be like a Manx cat this year....(no tail at all if you need the help) Edited March 24, 2012 by Steeplejack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Stoke needed two riders not one I thought as Birks, Worrall, McKinna, Atkin, Pickard and Reade plus one doesn't fit? Â These are the results from today - Â Â OPEN: 1. Oliver Greenwood (Scunthorpe) 12 2. Ross Walter 11 3. Dan Berwick 10 4. Shaun Tedham 9, Alex McLeod 9 Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Stoke needed two riders not one I thought as Birks, Worrall, McKinna, Atkin, Pickard and Reade plus one doesn't fit?  These are the results from today -   OPEN: 1. Oliver Greenwood (Scunthorpe) 12 2. Ross Walter 11 3. Dan Berwick 10 4. Shaun Tedham 9, Alex McLeod 9   We do need 2 as far as I know  As for the rider's, Greenwood was the best rider on show by far, which is worrying, as he is already signed.  After him, the rider's that caught my eye were Dan Greenwood, who looked a bit erratic at times, but picked himself up from a first race fall to look on the pace, Tom Woolley, who liked like he had a good style but was riding a bag of spanners, and Dan Berwick who tended to score solidly if he gated.  But looking for 2? I'm not confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vog Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Was Tim Nobes there ? Â No, wasn't in the 16 who were named either. Â There were a few no shows, Nick Laurence being one, as was Josh Bates and Adam Kirby if memory serves. Â Conor Dwyer crashed out in his first race and didn't return, hope he is ok!

Shaun Tedham 9, Alex McLeod 9 Â Saw Oliver, Ross and Dan ride before I left and to be honest I don't think Ross or Dan are upto the racing in the NL. Very worrying for Stoke if we have to go with the two lads. Last year I saw Ben and Mcbain ( can't think of his first name) and both looked acceptable at the "trial" for the place on offer. Dan Stoneman was one I thought was going to emerge from the day; just hope he is ok after that early fall. Did he ride later in the day?

Â Too many people with similar names, I meant Dan Stoneman (Getting him confused, sorry!) Â I'm pretty sure we aren't contractually obliged to offer the second and third placed riders contracts, was more a scouting session! Â Steeplejack: Dan Stoneman is who I meant in my post. He came out for his remaining rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Afraid to say there no1 else out there at this late stage so morethan likely gona be sumone from today aint it. Does anyone know who mckinna is gonna be replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â . Â Sure you are correct there Vog, but with your first meeting next saturday time is running out. Â Danny Stoneman quite impressed me at Mildenhall last season, looked like he could improve given time, maybe he could be one option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Even considering Stoneman crashed in his opener i'm surprised he didn't win his next 3 from the line-up that was in the speedway star. Â Btw Ross Walter has NL experience with plymouth from 2 years ago, sharing a spot with Bob Charles (i think!). He rarely scored. Whilst Dan Berwick rode for Sittingbourne averaging 3.69 then moved to the island 3 year ago but suffered a serious injury which he basically never recovered from, for us.
