greyhoundp Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Wow, a Top 2 off Boxhall and Compton, backed up by young Ben, sorry for David, but the Teams needs had to come first. Nice to see they have realised things needed to be done quickly, well done to Kent, a hard but brave move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 What is the source of this information on David Mason and Benji Compton ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Dave wasn`t the problem though. Having 4 3 pointers is. it`s going to be a long season at Kent, just hope the supporters stay. Kent still only a 3 man team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikko Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have received a press release from the promotion confirming Dave has been replaced by Benji Compton with immediate effect. Details on our website tomorrow. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent still only a 3 man team. Â They only have 3 3 pointers? Coles is listed as 4.30. The 11.38 for Boxall is obviously a drain but maybe they are hoping he will draw in the crowds. You can but try to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueherb777 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Have to see reason/s,but seems strange when the weakness in team is lower order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 What is Benji,s average does it leave room for other changes lower down the order ,,? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 just wish Kent had any promoter other than Slug Silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Good move imo.Mason is never going to improve.At least with Compton you have a rider with a chance of improving and will be a lot more exciting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Wonder what average Compton has come in on.Think is average 2010/2011 was 6.28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 If there's more than a 1.22 between Mason and Compton maybe Gary Cottham could be fit enough after his injury to replace one of the 3 pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Think Gazza is still waiting for an op on his collar bone which is still broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I know he lives a long distance away but, Liam Carr would be far better than any of the 3 pointers you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) If there's more than a 1.22 between Mason and Compton maybe Gary Cottham could be fit enough after his injury to replace one of the 3 pointers? Is Marc Owen considering a return to speedway? Edited May 15, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Unless Compton comes in on about a 5,Owen wouldn't fit unless further changes were made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 very unlikely Shadders, I think Marc still has issues with a shoulder injury. I just can`t get my head around this move. David was not the problem, it`s the long tail. Also I wouldn`t believe a word of what the Slug has put in his press release. Lets wait to hear Davids version. This is a sad day for Kent, to sack the captain after 7 rides is a crazy knee jerk reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing mason at least gives a little bit more points to play with. Â 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaptooth Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 not enough to make any real difference though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
