berniev123 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 According to the Dudley Heathens web site in the preview they sat the following line up is expected..... Â I OF W: Warwick, Hopwood , Hughes, Baseby, Baseby, TBC, Starke. Â Dudley: Roynon, Greenwood, Perry, Bekker, Morris, Ritchings, White Williams. Â Good luck and a very safe night to both teams. Pity I will not see the Heathens on the Island this year like the last two, as my August holiday only has a NT match against Mildenhall lined up at the moment on a Thursday and the Tuesday night is free!

I agree consistancy has been our downfall this season. Paul Stark should make us stronger at reserve however he has been as inconsistant at home as anyone and he is only eligable to ride at reserve because his average has dropped, if Gary had not had the injury it is likely he would have moved up to the top 5 anyway with the new averages. With no mechanical 'gremlins' we stand a good chance of beating Dudley however I think the choice of replacement for Dan Stoneman could be a deciding factor!

slim24 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Adam Ellis, will ride at reserve for the IoW this evening, don't know much about, apart from I think he's been riding in the lakeside development side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Adam Ellis, will ride at reserve for the IoW this evening, don't know much about, apart from I think he's been riding in the lakeside development side. Â Having seen him in action a few times now, including Rye House on Saturday and Peterborough last night, he's a good 'un! Â Island fans will be interested to know that Matt Tressarieu will be in the pits with him. Edited July 24, 2012 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Brown Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just back in Oxford after my trip to the Island. Dudley miles too good out the gate and that was pretty much where every race was decided bar two I think  One question though, what is Adam Roynon gaining from riding in the National League. I am all for developing youngsters (and boy he deserves some luck in the sport) but not sure he is learning anything from winning races by the length of the straght. Been out of touch with the youngsters around at the moment, Tom Perry looks a great prospect, not sure about Ashley Morris, seemed to be more concerned about looking round at those chasing him and got the hump after Kyle Hughes picked him off twice. Dudley are clearly a very good side and don't really need to be using Roynon which is frankly silly  1st trip to Smallbrook, a very nice stadium and well drilled organisation for those going back on the ferry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 One question though, what is Adam Roynon gaining from riding in the National League. I am all for developing youngsters (and boy he deserves some luck in the sport) but not sure he is learning anything from winning races by the length of the straght. To a degree, Chris, I think you may have answered your own question there. The situation has been picked over on numerous threads but, in gist the answer from those who oppose your view (among them myself) is as follows: Roynon's horrendous injury history means he is way behind his contemporaries in terms of time on the bike and he needs a season such as this to rebuild his form and confidence. He's a young-ish Brit -- it is the National Development League -- and if he makes strides, then that's good for the sport as a whole. He's an excellent and enthusiastic captain (he travelled to this fixture last year when injured, purely to support the side) who sets the tone for a young squad. Tom Perry has repeatedly mentioned his desire to take the No.1 jacket; Roynon sets a high bar there to which others can aspire. Given Roynon's form across three leagues this season, it's salutary to recall that he didn't even start the 2012 NL campaign as the league's highest-averaged rider. He won't be in the NL next year, all being well, and Dudley fans will be pleased with his efforts and happy to see him moving back up the ladder. 21CH has posted more lengthily and eloquently along these lines somewhere and if I can dig that out later today I'll reproduce it. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 a lovely afternoon spent on the south coast was followed by a trip across the solent to see the islanders well beaten by a very determined dudley side. thankfully there were no sun delays which enabled us to get the earlier ferry.
