21st century heathen Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well according to Mr Vasey (on Twitter) Stoke is getting a tidy up - might have been an April Fools though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps those attending Press and Practice can report back ! Otherwise I will give my verdict on Saturday ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big lad Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) they had stock cars there over the Easter, so the place will be like a rubbish heep. Edited April 3, 2013 by big lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I can't remember the exact wording but he stated after the stock cars. On a serious note - some confirmation and clarification of what was meant by the Tweet would be good to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Nice anniversary win by Smartie, and Kyle did well also, bodes well for Stokes season,if these two have good seasons. Edited April 7, 2013 by greyhoundp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Nice anniversary win by Smartie, and Kyle did well also, bodes well for Stokes season,if these two have good seasons. Was a good win by Lee and early signs are that all is ok with him with regards to fitness and mental toughness to take on the track. Good to see that he had the "nerve" to go around the outside of Tony in one race. For me; and realize this may sound strange, but Kyle impressed me the most. Very good style and attack of the track; could be a big year for them both. Luke P will be solid back back up and I think maybe Ben was trying engines or something last night as in some races he looked well down on power and then flying.....well better at least in others. Luke C will be ok if he can stay on a bike, can't remember a rider dropping off his bike so much.!!. If I say, I think that it is going to be a very steep learning curve for our two reserve lads and leave it at that. More importantly than all the above; just hope that Shane is ok after a very heavy fall; seemed to bounce on his head and tumble. Not looked elsewhere but do we know his condition?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think Stoke may have some poor away days but should be strong at home. The top three are a match for any. The Lukes will be fine on their own shale but inconsistent elsewhere in my opinion. The reserves should get dialled in at home and score some useful points as back to the rest but there might well be some tricky away-day's. Great to see Smarty in top form.

The reserves looked the worry on Saturday, as neither really looked on the pace. Whether that was teething problems with machinery, who knows. As for the top 5, they will win meetings on their own at times. Smarty looked back to his best, while Kyle Hughes looked quick after an off first ride. They could easily be 9+ pointers each. Priest looked up and down, but looked good when passing Atkin in his first race. Reade looked a bit down on power, and Chessell was great for anywhere between 1 and 3 laps. If he could stay on he could put a point on his average easily. Could be a hit and miss season! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophykid Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I note with interest the activities of Gemma Crabtree. Appears to be proactive and switched on. Lets hope the potters are pushing on in an upwards direction on and off the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben had carb problems in his opening three heats and ended up switching bikes for his final two rides mate. just hope that Shane is ok after a very heavy fall; seemed to bounce on his head and tumble. Not looked elsewhere but do we know his condition?. Shane was released from hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyChesgire Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Praying the rain doesn't postpone Saturday ! I see no Ben on Saturday - hope that isn't going to be a common problem - although I hope he does well - he deserves a chance at advancement.

ChubbyChesgire Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I see Plymouth have released Ben - shame for him, but good for us - particularly as he will want to prove himself. Go Ben ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Potter 2 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 According to Twitter Emerson Jones has had a bad reaction to his fall at Buxton , this has prompted his fingers to type out an Ebay advertisement for all his speedway equipment , sorry to see Emerson go but he will probably change his mind again next week and more than likely return to mess another team about . meanwhile we have a new saga about to start with yet another untried MX rider signed on the strength of a couple of MDL wins against piss poor opposition . But that’s what this league is supposed to be about. Finding new British riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
