Latest Update From Oak Tree Arena


Recommended Posts

No anouncement yet on the cost of matchday programme. I favour the free one we had a couple of seasons back, just 4 sided A4 with racecard in the middle. I don't think people want to pay £2-50 for a few articles in the programme, if you want to read about speedway you buy The Star for £2-80 or £2-24 if you use the W H Smith discount voucher.

What do others think?

 

I think, other than the big preview edition, the Speedway Star is a complete waste of money!

Claus finished on exactly the same average as what Josh will start on in 2013. I would much rather have kept Claus as he is a great character and has expressed his liking for the club and the track on many occasions. Claus also wouldn't be a gamble as he is ever reliable where as Josh last year, albeit hampered by injuries, was so inconsistent it was unreal.

I`m thinking it maybe cost as I believe the whole team is based in England this year. I should imagine the cost of having two commuting riders in the team would be a bit high, that`s assuming they were commuting.However we did start last season with only Claus coming from Europe so I see your point.

Must be a logical reason for it...

The actual format/price of the 2013 programme will not be confirmed until most probably late January next year as need to look into the actual layout/content/design of the programme coupled with the amount of advertising space that has been sold. One thing I can assure you of, though, is the fact that it will not be the 4-sided A4 race-card style we had in 2011. Initial thoughts are that it might well be a something along the lines of a glossy, 32 page, B4 size programme, but as I say a final decision will not be made until late January 2013.

Sounds good if it's free!

As it is now officially Christmas day, I would like to wish all my fellow Rebels supporters and all Speedway supporters alike a "Very Happy Christmas".

Hopefully 2013 will see us have a drier season to secure Speedway through the year and beyond.

According to the Kurri Kurri Speedway Site

http://www.kurrikurr...NVITATIONAL.pdf

 

Alex was 3rd in the A Final in front of Sam

 

A FINAL

1 Troy Batchelor – 2 Jason Doyle – 3 Alex Davies – 4 Sam Masters

 

PODIUM FINISH BOOSTS CONFIDENCE

A third place finish in the 2012 Jason Crump Cup Invitational Speedway meeting has been a

great confidence booster for Wollalong speedway rider, Alex Davies. He scored third place to

the unbeaten Troy Batchelor from South Australia with Newcastle rider Jason Doyle finishing

second.

 

“I got off to a shaky start in my early heat race tonight,” said Davies at the podium

presentation, “but got my rhythm back in the next couple. Third place tonight in this quality

field gives me a real confidence boost going into the Australian Title – but I do have to

qualify.”

 

Davies failed to score in his very first heat race, then bounced back with two successive

wins, giving him enough points to make the sudden-death B Final. Davies came up against

three other local riders in the B Final – Adam Shields (Mulbring), Mason Campton (Kurri

Kurri) and Rohan Tungate (Pelaw Main) – with the winner going on to the A Final event.

Davies and Tungate fought out an exciting B Final with Davies just edging out Tungate.

In the A Final, Davies met the vastly experienced riders Jason Doyle (Newcastle) and Troy

Batchelor (South Australia) with Sam Masters (Newcastle) rounding out the classy field.

Batchelor was at his very best on the night going on to an unbeaten record and taking the

Jason Crump Cup from Doyle and Davies.

 

Troy Batchelor and Sam Masters are seeded directly into the 2013 Australian Senior Solo

Speedway Championship, however, Jason Doyle and Alex Davies will have to compete in a

special qualifying night to reach the final sixteen riders for the prestigious title.

 

The Championship will be decided over three rounds starting at Gillman Speedway, South

Australia on Saturday 05 January
