neil3065 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 While the nature of the National League means there arent a huge number of options open to Mildenhall for second heat-leader, I'm sure if Hargreaves is making a comeback, then he'll be one they'll consider, along with Schramm if there's any possibility he might be eligible and indeed Cameron Heeps if there's any chance of him being able to double-up. Beyond those three, which all must have some element of doubt surrounding them, its difficult to see what other genuine heat-leader options there might be.

Shame that he is giving the NL a miss next season.Always a popular visitor to West Row And anyway..I believe he is a Redcar asset not a Buxton one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil3065 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Nick Simmons? Interesting choice. Assuming he's wanting to ride this season, he'd obviously need a new club at NL. Perhaps West Row isn't a big enough track to suit his style ideally. He did ride for Mildenhall in the Graham Drury era, and did well on the whole. My criticism of him at the time was it seemed to me that sometimes he tried too hard to pass the rider in front and fell as a result, when he'd have been better off holding onto the points he already had. Having said that, he's probably a much better rider for the experience he's gained in the ten years or so since he was at Mildenhall. I'd have my reservations about Cockle coming back to Mildenhall. Mainly that I'm not sure he's a genuine heat-leader on a consistent basis at NL level these days. But I thought I saw some decent scores from him last season. He's probably one who has been guilty of trying too hard at times in his career. With options limited, especially if Heeps or Schramm are no-go's, then these two, along with Hargreaves, could be options Mildenhall consider. how about me i would love to come back and ride at mildenhall been trying to get hold of mr lee to see if he is interested someone try and have a word thanks armo If that's genuinely you, Jon, and you feel can score the points like you've done for Mildenhall in the past, then they ought to be considering you.

Nikko Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Never thought I would see Jon back in a Mildenhall race jacket, but can't wait to welcome him to Central Park as a Fen Tiger. Some of the funniest days at West Row were with Armo and Dipster. Good luck to my old mate. Edited January 7, 2013 by Nikko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommer Mon Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm really pleased to see Armo back in Speedway. He was brilliant for us at Dudley when we had to build a team from scratch and was a massive help to the youngsters coming through. His help in establishing the Club should not be forgotten. An absolute gent and great with the fans. I hope he has a really good season. He's one 'Bog Moggie' we wont be booing at Monmore Wood! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Its difficult to imagine a better signing on every front. I can see the Fen Tigers being right up there again this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
