21st century heathen Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 A bit of good news for the Heathens ahead of the PO fixtures. Bekker has not broken his leg. That should give the lads a bit of a lift after what must have been a tough day yesterday. Also, Roynon is planning to ride at the weekend so may be back before the end of the season. Great news that he's obviously recovering well but not sure how I feel about him riding again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamebabes1 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Adam and Byron both want to be there for the final racing. Adam is riding this weekend for Workington so be interesting to see how he gets on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) There could be some interesting twists for the play off final if the IOW fail to overturn Mildenhalls advantage in the semi . Apparently Dudley want the first leg of the final at home leaving The Tigers with only the 31st Oct being available as a date for West Row . They obviously could not leave it till then so alternative tracks have been discussed with earlier dates . Foxhall perhaps ? I'm thinking the Heathens are going down this road as they want to have a lead in case the 2nd leg doesn't end up happening for whatever reason and they would win on 1st leg score ! ( and fully within their rights do so btw ) Just a theory and no doubt I will get slaughtered for my opinion !

MrMungo Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'd imagine King's Lynn is the more likely venue. They can ride there pretty much anytime as Buster owns the stadium. Ipswich, on the other hand, have some limits imposed on them, plus they still have a few home meetings to slot in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Probably one less meeting at Foxhall after tonight's visit to Worky but I see your point . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganbike Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 It is good news that maybe Adam and Byron may ride on Tues in the double header. More importantly the other Dudley riders who do not ride prem will not get any competitive track time whilst Mildenhall will in theory ride today at home, The Isle on Tues, Individual at home Fri, Stoke on Sat. We saw at home last tues what happens with rusty riders and the 4 meets Mildy do will keep them race ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Heathens should have entered the National Trophy or had a few Challenge matches to be match fit as a team when the PO's come around. A mistake I'm afraid that may come back to haunt us by the 31st October! hope I am wrong tho'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 It has now been confirmed, that should Mildenhall Qualify for The Play Off final,, the 2nd Leg will be held at Mildenhall On Wednesday 24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn`t the NL just for teams with their own track?.....a few challenge matches would be nice but Dudley only have 16 dates available for some reason I`ve never quite figured out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Two things i suggested prior to the start of 2012 season, one was that we enter the NT Trophy, two was that we enter a Team in the Amateur League, The first was not entered due to the lack of dates, the second was not entered for whatever reason, Dudley cannot now say it was because we dont have time to ride 6 Heats after a NL meeting, because we now have a two meetings of 15 heats on the 23rd.

21st century heathen Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Playing devils advocate - the double-header is a one-off not a weekly commitment. That said I was with you, particularly with regard to entering the NL Trophy. I'm no happier with my club for that than with some clubs opting out of the KOC.
