ancient mariner Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 3 times today and twice it worked and that was the the Witches won today. Well done Ben. And the good news is that as he and his team mates get a better understanding, he'll be able to do it even more effectively. Over the last two seasons at the SBA he pulled off some wonderful Ht 15 results, notably with Ricky Wells and Ryan Fisher who both knew exactly what to expect and (if they weren't already on a 5-1) rode accordingly. It was a joy to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutchstart05 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I haven't been a regular at the SBA in recent seasons. You can probably understand why. Went on Friday to give the new management a chance, and wow, what an improvement all round. Obviously a great deal of work has been undertaken, and the whole place is now much more of a stadium. We were really impressed by the new back straight stand, and being so close to the track it must rate as among the best, if not the best, view in British speedway. Watching Ty Procter battling with Doyle and Morris in heat 13 was breathtaking. What also struck me was seeing the promoters out in the crowd during the meeting talking to the fans. Not something you see at many tracks. There are still a few tweaks that need to be done. The PA could be a bit clearer. No fault of Graham Hambly. He is always good, but couldn't really hear the the centre green guy. A few more lights would also be useful around the back for we oldies, but these are minor niggles which I sure will be sorted out by the management who can't be expected to get everything done immediately. Well done to all concerned. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well it seems Klingon has ridden his last meeting for the Devils, would Taylor Poole fit ?. Schrammy needs to turn his efforts into points, or would the Devils be better replacing Schrammy with a 3 pointer, and bringing in an even stronger replacement for Klingon, I dont see any obvious ready made replacement 3 pointers in the NL at the present time, so that avenue would seem not a viable suggestion. So who is it to be to replace Kling ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) With regards Klingons replacement, it appears some people are in the know, but are awaiting the official announcement . I would just like to say i am really pleased to see Jake Ando scoring some points, when he rode for the Heathens in the NL he was a good gater, never really got the hang of Monmore Wood, and had an higher away average than at home, he was a good Team man always offering advice and support to the younger guys, he was at that time a better rider than Micky Dyer. In my opinion he is a better rider than the 3 point average he has, never gonna be World Champ, but on decent equipment should more than hold his own in the PL, 8+ at Leicester, 8+ at Dry albeit from 5 rides, is a much fairer reflection of his ability i feel, so if the other riders can get some consistency, he could be a match winner along with Hot Toddy down at reserve. Klingons recent form, has been pretty poor, and i dont know what average he signed on, but from his last 28 rides for 18 points, which equates to an average of 2.57 that was not good. Whilst the focus has mainly been on Klingons form, Schrammys recent scores have been equally if not worse, i have just checked, and his average is 6+ however in his last thirty rides, he has had 1 second place, the remainder being either 3rds or 4ths for a total of 12 points from those 30 rides, which is a 1.6 av for a 6+ rider yes he is a great guy, and a trier, but there comes a time when thats not enough, that time is fast approaching.

Indeed but when the crowd see you visibly trying your hardest you tend to avoid the flack!

Harman Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 From what I have read it seems that Plymouth fans are assuming that the new signing is Mikkel Bech on a 7 point assessed average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 wrong If your suggesting that Bech has signed for Plymouth,then that would be a fantastic signing,but with the amount of meetings he would likely miss would it be a sensible one.

torpointfanatic22 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 So because Mikkel tweets he is signing for a UK club everyone assumes it's an EL club then because he is at P'boro having a few laps today they assume he's signed for them. I reckon he's Buxton bound... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 i am suggesting he hasnt signed for peterborough,which is also a friday race night as is plymouth so why would it be good for peterborough and not plymouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
