I'm afraid I can't see any kind of scoreline other than similar to what the Witches just conceded , good luck to the Tigers but without the Cam/Joe spearhead and no logical replacement booked ( no disrespect to Aaron ) I just don't see the rest of the lads having the firepower to keep it close . I hope I'm wrong !

My apologies to the Tigers for doubting them . WELL DONE on the win . ( think i had my cynical Witches hat on at the time )

 

What a superb all round performance with everyone chipping in .

 

Might have been a tad different had this line up had faced Stoke or Dudley though .

 

Always happy to admit when i was wrong when you get a result like this !

Great win for us.Missing Cam and Joe was tough.I thought if we could scrape a point we would have done well,but to get all 4 is superb.

1st of all i hope Mason is ok after what was a horrible looking crash.

Stef was a different class today.Nobody got near him.He looked sharp out the gate and was incredibly smooth on the bike.

Fair play to Lewis for letting him through to get his full max.He really has stepped it up since becoming captain.

Everyone chipped in with vital points,although there were a couple of silly mistakes again which cost us a couple of points.

 

I doubt very much you will go to another Rye home meeting and see Morley have 3 falls.Certainly a one off.I was expecting him to go through the card if i'm being honest.

James Sarjeant.Total tool.Looked obvious to me that Aaron got some un wanted drive which sent him into James.Luckily it didn't take him into the fence.His reaction afterwards was disgraceful.Aaron put his hand up as if to appologize,only for James to headbutt him whilst he was on the floor.The lad needs to be dealt with.Idiot.

How old is the lad Nielsen? Anyone seen enough of the lad to think he is ready and could do a job at reserve in the PL?

 

I think he is 18.He seems to be getting better and better every meeting i see him in.Today as an example.Untouchable.

I reckon the odd guest booking in the pl wouldn't do him any harm for sure.He was hitting similiar times to the pl meeting.

 

edit.Knew he was 17..quite why i put 18 i don't know :)

He turned 17 during the winter. He's definitely ready for some meetings in the PL.

Yes i noticed that. A couple of his heat wins were only .02 off Doolan's heat 12 win in the PL. Times would also naturally be slower in the second meeting as the track becomes slicker.

 

Looks a talent the boy, hopefully Chris will get him involved at Ipswich sometime in the near future.

After been at Scunthorpe today, It really does make me Sctrach my head how the likes of Stefan Nielsen are missing out on Premier League spots for these Jonny foreigners that come over, How one of them has a team place i'll never know. As a Scunthorpe Asset (not been biased or anything) but would love to see Nielsen in the Scorpions Line-up in some Capacity this season.

Agree with much of what Adz says in his report.

Really thought Rye House would have had the upper hand in this match, but an off night for Rye's number 3 and an excellent display by Mildenhall's number 3 seemed to be the difference.

Several mistakes and falls from both teams, which probably evened itself out somewhat by the end of the meeting. Really good to see David Mason get up from that awful looking smash. Sure he'll be feeling second hand for a few days though!

 

I know he has a few critics down Ipswich way, but thought it was great to see Kevin Doolan in the pits helping the Mildenhall guys. A lot of riders wouldn't bother, and would happily bugger off once their "shift" has ended. It may not have made any difference to the final score, but good to know that there's riders out there willing to get stuck in and help out.

Bad day at he office for the Raiders ,All credit to a weakend Fen Tigers with a stunning performance from Stefan Nielsen..Our Ben Morley had a very rare off night.. ( literally ),,..And David Mason had to withdraw from the meeting after a somewhat reckless move from Nathan Stoneman... I thought Luke Chessel rode sensibly on a marbely track picking up good points, as did Shane hazelden ..I had to leave the stadium before the end ,, work commitment, so cant comment on the Sarjeant incident ,but there is never an excuse for that sort of behavier.....All in all one to forget for the Raiders....

I have heard 2 promoters now one EL and one PL site the attitude of the Brit riders standing in their way. I for one don't like the sound of that as it sounds like the 'many' are suffering because of the 'few' and some lads are being tarnished incorrectly but if he has been offered guest bookings and turned them down for 'other committments' and I believe he rides in the danish league aswell then I supose eventually people will stop asking.

No doubt the Fen men deserved their win, in a match that had more re-runs than escape to victory on the BBC.

Having studied the tape, Mason was extremely lucky to get to his feet after being collected by young Nathan, nasty as it was, it was a accident, as was Arrons fall when he clipped Sargeant, who reactions were unsavoury, unnecessary and childish, even as a spur of the moment loss of temper.

Nielsen was quite superb and only headed twice, when he may or may not have caught Mullins, who was prevented from his moment of glory by Bens fall. The other time was by the excellent Blackbird, who shut off on the line to allow the completion of a well deserved maximum.

The Rajiders needed to be fIring on all cylinders, sadly they !

DVDs of this match are available, but can't mention it on here or I will get another warning:) !
