greyhoundp Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well done to The Heathens on a tremendous all round team performance at home to buxton last night, they had built up a good first leg lead away at Buxton on sunday, and really Ommered home that advantage with a massive 60+ win, to partially make up for some defeats we have suffered at the hands of The hitmen over the past two seaons, included in the result were 2 maximum men, and a paid max from a 3rd rider. Fair play to Buxton, they never gave up, and were capably led by rob Branford, who received generous applause from the home fans when he won his Double points race, and saluted them with a wheelie down the home straight, and there was a tremendous 4 lap ding dong between the wily Deanno and Darryl ritchings, which darryl just edged on the line. You know we have received some deserved criticism at times from fans of other Teams, but generally we are a fair minded lot, even if we sometimes let our emotions run away with us , but hey we are passionate about our Speedway, and thats what Others dont realise, its more than a sport for us Black country folk, its a way of life. I dont know what the YOUNG riders think when they ride for The Heathens, but last night for example they did some after meeting interviews, and when they finished and walked around the dog track, they received tremendous applause from the fans, who had stayed behind, and there must have been 250/300 hundred who had stayed to listen. I have a feeling that providing ALL the riders can stay injury free, that this could be a BIG season for us here in Heathenland, because we still have a couple of riders not firing 100% and they almost admitted as such during there interviews, by suggesting they couldnt get there bike set ups right, and indeed changed to other bikes during the meeting.
