TrueBee Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Think I am more excited about the national league rather than the Elite to be honest. I'd second that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Man Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 WITH the top five positions in their side sorted Coventry Storm's reserve berths are their next priority - and a chance discussion at the end of October has paved the way for a return to track of a promising young rider who was lost to the sport in 2009. Back in action, and signed for Coventry as an asset, is 23-year-old Trevor Heath, who had been a Mildenhall Fen Tiger under the Mick Horton promotion at West Row where his team managers were Blayne Scroggins and Laurence Rogers! It was Rogers who met up with Trevor at the dirt track meeting at the end of October when they had a brief discussion about Trevor having a go at speedway again. Rogers said: “I was at Brandon as I had arranged twelve riders for the event to do some speedway races amongst the pit bikes, quads and dirt track races. I saw Trevor and went to have a chat and wondered if he would be giving speedway a go again, but he said it was unlikely although he would like to. “I left it at that but when we were getting the team planned I got a call off him to say that he had loved riding Brandon and if there was a team spot going he would really fancy getting back into speedway. “I applied for his average from the NL co-ordinator and it came back as 4.18, and I must admit I thought that we might not be able to fit him in. He was showing great keenness and had sorted out some equipment from Lee Smart and really wanted to do it. Blayne, Mick and I discussed it and the end result is that we have signed him.” Co-boss Scroggins believes Heath may be a surprise package at reserve. He said: “Trev had great potential and scored well on occasions, and on good equipment he could get amongst the points. "I remember at Newport he had bike troubles which were sorted and then no one could touch him and he ended up with double figures, and this is what we think he is capable of. He actually becomes the oldest member of our side at just 23, with the average age of the side just under 20! “We now have one team spot left with 3.35 points remaining so it is likely to be a three-point newcomer, and we have several we are considering including a complete newcomer to the sport we have been tracking.” HEATH, Trevor Michael DATE OF BIRTH: 21 March 1989, Cuckfield, West Sussex. BRITISH CAREER: (2004) Sheffield II; (2005-06) Mildenhall; (2009) Rye House II. RIDER LINKS: Cousin of Sam Heath (born: 16 December 1989). ADDITIONAL INFO: Having not ridden in the Conference League since representing Mildenhall in 2006, Heath returned to British speedway's third tier in June 2009, when a team re-declaration saw him replace Michael Bovis in Rye House's National League outfit. He lost his place in the side towards the end of August, however, when Dan Blake was recalled. LAURENCE Rogers has also confirmed the Storm’s team-building plans had to change when they were hit by the news that club asset Kyle Hughes was unable to get time off work on Fridays - ruling him out of a team spot at Brandon. This had repercussions in the rest of the team building as they had worked around Hughes’ low average of 6.12 and lined up two potentially strong reserves. Hughes has now signed for weekend track Stoke, and with a change of direction this has meant that one rider who was lined up to join the Storm and had agreed terms cannot now be fitted in within the maximum 40 points. Rogers had the unenviable job of informing the rider concerned last weekend – a far from enjoyable task, as he comments: “The lad was well up for it and had been working on sponsorship and ordered new equipment. “I had the difficult task of informing him he could not be fitted in, and knowing the preparation he had already put in and the enthusiasm he had for riding for us it was not easy to break the news to him. He had turned down other clubs to come to us but as it is a numbers game we had no option as we were 0.04 short of being able to include him!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBee Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Shame for the rider that we let go then. Hope they get fixed up somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I think the team will be very well supported. An awful lot of people seem unhappy with the el team which will only help swell the numbers for the storm!

waco Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Trevor rode a bit at Rye house a while ago and i would only consider him to be of reserve standard in this League on that form ..Maybe on good equipment there could be improvement, i hope so,, good luck to the lad....
