Bagpuss Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Forgot to add what a pleasure it was to meet up once again with the only bloke I know who wears gloves, a scarf, a big old fleece and SHORTS at a speedway meeting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Knight clearly isn't fit,think he has come back too soon. Jake has aggravated the leg injury he suffered at Stoke, and further investigation has revealed a small fracture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Is there any update on how Adam is? After his awful misfortune getting injured in, what I seem to recall, was his very first ride of last year's NL season, I'm sure we all hope there's no kind of length of lay-off this time around...

PhilK Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Personally I didn't see an awful lot wrong with either incident involving Blackbird to be honest, and the lad certainly has something about him. Same can be said for Bates who looks a fine prospect, although he may benefit from not getting quite so close to back wheels when chasing them thought his move on Knight was a little wreckless but he's a young lad learning and can be excused. Thought the Young Stars looked very rusty and it was a thoroughly deserved win for Mildy who had far more spark about them throughout the match. Adam Lowe was the one shining light for Lynn before his tumble. Kerr very unlucky in his last two after dreadful gates in his first couple of heats. One thing that struck me last night was the lack of meetings that riders like he and Joe Jacobs will be getting this year.....they are arguably the two brightest hopes for the two clubs and they should be getting loads of rides to aid their development, they need to be racing two or three times a week to help them progress. What a shame there aren't more clubs in the NL to provide everyone with extra track time. Good stuff Baggy! Screamer must have been watching on updates! I agree about the lack of track time, although bar more teams entering the NL I don't know what can be done, but for youngsters like Jake Knight, Lewis Kerr 14 NL meetings plus maybe the chance of a couple more isn't enough.Being a standalone Mildnehall have entered the NT this year and hopefully if we have the success of 2011, the likes of Joe, Josh, Stefan ,Nathan etc will have around 30 meetings to look forward to. But they would I am sure say that is not enough. Josh is an exciting talent, who certainly has something about him, but so does his partner Nathan Stoneman. In the three meetings so far he has shown a maturity beyond his years, fine technique and that no one will bully him in the first turns. Heat 13 being an excellent example. Also have to mention Dan Halsey too, often overlooked as he goes about his business in a quiet efficient manner, but he certainly looks back to the form that earned him a place in the Rye House PL side. He will make a mockery of his 4.76 starting average for sure! Edited May 3, 2012 by PhilK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Was at the meeting last night. Me personally thinks blackbird nearly ran into cockle that's why he went off at him! Disappointed for Lewis Kerr last night. Spoke to his dad after meeting and said clutch was playing up in the first and burnt out in the second and we all know it's horrible luck to snap 2 chains when leading twice! As for Adam lowe he looked really quick! Hope he recovers well and gets back soon!! Kerr will bounce back, he's a terrific rider. Very few will pass Heeps this season at NL level, home or away. Lowe was very impressive indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Congatulations once again to Nathan Stoneman, with another fine performance for paid 7pts, to add to his previous paid 7+ scores.........................and including a superb Heat 13 victory to boot. Keep it up mate, you're doing just great. Edited May 3, 2012 by womble53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
