Everyone has had their say about the lead up to the meeting. So now it's upon us it's time to get back to what matters most, which is the racing.

Personally I think our boys + 1 can still give them a meeting. Our bottom 4 have all, at times, proven to be quick and smooth taking some big scalps.

Those people who think these two Teams are well balanced, really need to look at it realistically, how can any Team lose 30+ points, and still be competitive AWAY from Home, at home possibly, but away from Home no way.

Guest rider Gary Irvine for Adam Roynon, Gazza is a good young rider, but is he A Roynon ? no i dont think so. RR for Ash Morris, Irvine to win, Byron to get 2 a point a piece for Daryl and Dan, so we are down again, and an unattached 3 pointer in place of Tom Perry, well usually they are unattached for a reason, so again we are down, in my assesment all in all we are around 14 points below strength.

It was my honest opinion, that whoever used Garrity ar there Guest would win, I am still of that opinion, Nielsen will give very solid support so those two riders will take their own 4 rides, a RR ride, plus a Ht 15 ride each, that is 11 heats, and leaves only 4 Heats for the Heathens to win, sorry to say it, but i am a realist, Byron will hold his own, and give 110% as will our other three team members Dan, Daryl, and JWW, but do we have the Top end firepower except for Irvine, to beat The Fen Tigers on Sunday NO, Dan and Daryl both started the season at reserve, JWW is in fact now at reserve, so in my opinion i expect us to score somewhere between 35 and 40 points, but no more than that.

Depends if Lewis is second in the Tigers averages, 1 above and all below can take his rides, where is Lewis Blackbird in the Tigers avs ?, and if Garrity cant take a RR, that leaves us 5 Heats where we wont have to face Garrity or Nielsen, and a chance to take a Heat advantage.

On paper alot what you say makes sense, but take the last meeting of the season at Mildenhall last year for example, strange things can happen. I think the meeting will actually be a cracker.

As far as I can see, both teams are missing 3 out of 7 riders - Heeps, Blackbird and Stoneman for the Bog Moggies; Roynon, Morris and Perry for the Heathens.

 

Both teams are missing two heat leaders plus one reserve (although I admit Perry is a rather exceptional reserve).

 

So pretty evenly balanced.

 

All the best

Good luck to both Teams, hope The Heathens can get a point out of this, i would be over the moon with that, would have loved to have seen two full strength Teams battling it out on the Track. We all know the importance of what the outcome will help to achieve, it is who takes first pick in the play offs, as its our last away meeting We can afford to drop a point or two, we have already earned that.

Well where do i start.A meeting that had a bit of everything.

Solid performance from our lot.Best i have seen Halsey ride for a while.Was very good to see.Thought Irving and Bekker were good value for Dudley,as was Richings who impressed me.

Heat 13 was a brilliant race.Hard but fair riding until the last bend.Irving with a disgraceful move on Garrity.Ran him wide on the bend and even wider on the straight.Could have ended up so much worse.Hope Garrity is ok after that.Was a great choice of guest.

Now onto some of the Dudley fans.They say 1st impressions are important.1st heat,Jacobs slides off on his own.Only for some idiot with "Bish" on the back of his shirt to cheer and give Jacobs the fingers.Totally un-called for.Also complaints from some children and their parents that the Dudley fans were swearing like there was no tomorrow in front of them.

It looked like it all kicked off on the first bend.Saw a couple of Dudley fans being pushed/dragged away.Again saw a couple of children in the middle of it all.Not good one bit.

Can see why some Dudley fans have a reputation.
