Guest Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Well with fans like JTW u sure don't need enemies eh? Getting sooooo boring now tho! Hope Adam doesn't come on here and read that cos sure wont help the poor lads confidence! But if he does in sure he just ignores it cos prob realises everyone else is behind him and its just the one sad act who seems determined to knock every rider when possible! Anyway, didn't make it last nite but sounds like a battling display again with our usual run of bad luck and little errors? Really pleased for Adam cos his confidence looked low last week and was bit worrying but seems to of bounced back now? Anyway looking forward to any team changes this week if rumours r true? Cud b interesting especially if David mason took a spin last nite? Means one thing surely? IF it does happen then wud make a much better team IMO? 4 riders capable of scoring good points each week with back up from an improving Adam and jack? I do sense the end again for Sam tho? If Adam Kirby does read JTW comments I would remind him what a famous England and Hackney rider of the early 1930s, one Dusty Haigh, said when asked about an adverse comment in regard to him. He replied (so legend claims): "I don't care what they call me so long as they call me when it's dinner time!"

Nikko Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) We are aware who Jim the Whipper is, and have been for some time, and its fair to say, no Adam does not take any notice of him. As anyone who reads my posts knows I am all for the freedom of speech that this forum gives people, even those who "hide" behind tag names and have a hidden agenda. But of course it also gives us the right to treat these posts with the contempt they deserve, which trust me, we do. On a seperate note, great to see Dave Mason putting some laps in last night.

waco Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Why would you think that Gustix .i am sure i dont... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosetash64 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 If you are referring to the fact that in the beginning you yourself were a bit critical towards Adam then maybe the cap would fit. You hav since changed your opinion towards Adam and you do actually write some positive posts towards him. I applaud you for this gustix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificentseven Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Paid a visit to Sittingbourne to complete my set of British Tracks once more. I was very impressed - lovely little stadium and track - would put some EL stadia and tracks to shame - shame the track got a bit dusty towards the end but very understandable given the weather. Very enthusiastic friendly crowd. I hope the Kings manage to find some riders to make them more competitive - you certainly couldn't fault any of the riders for effort - and that the track is able to continue for many years.

Wolfie That's hidden praise for Adam Kirby who is part of a collective pat-on-the-back from Wolfie. Edited July 16, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Cross Ranger Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Got mixed emotions about last nights result. Of course i'd like to have seen the Kings take a first 'competitive' victory but seeing as I was unable to attend it means that I could still be there to witness it when it eventually happens, and it will, soon. Good luck lads and well done AK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) So no doubts we wont see JTW coming on here to say well done, though he is quick enough to say otherwise when he doesn't do so well. One of these days we just might see The Kings top 3 all score well on the same evening, at the moment it seems if Ben does well Benji has an off night, and if Benji scores well Ben has a poor night. That all illusive first win, surely cant be far away, especially if Jake Knight has signed, Kent badly need a solid 6 pointer in there, who can score the odd double figure return. I agree about Jake Knight.I want the Club to sign YOUNG riders who have potential and have something to prove.I said this last night and will say again here - Bringing Dave Mason back into the team would be a backward step.He had some laps last night so we can all make conclusions.He had just started as Coach/advisor and that would be great.

Two sides to every topic: I think there are many who would like to see David Mason riding - he only had two matches to start the season. I'm sure he can give a solid back-bone to Kings middle order - and help create a winning side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 According to my maths the Kings first set of averages will be as below: Boxall 8.84 Compton 6.28* Morley 5.80 Coles 4.25 Woods 3.00* Kingston 3.00* Kirby 3.00 Total: 34.17 * only raced 3 league meetings so no new figure yet. Knight and Mason could fit individually if swapped for a lower order rider. Pros for Knight are he is the younger man with more potential and a lower average. Cons are that he could quit the sport again if things aren't going his way. Mason would be committed but I still suspect he wouldn't sustain his 7.32 starting figure. Either will improve the side and take the pressure off the top 5. Whatever does happen I'm sure it'll be in the best interests of the Kings.

blueherb777 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I know Tom Young has been resting from Speedway,but for fun how about; Boxall 8.84 - Young 7.04 - Compton 6.28 - Knight 5.93 - Morley 5.80 - Kingston 3.00 - Kirby 3.00. Total 39.89. As I said just for fun,but nice top order. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Cross Ranger Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What was the crowd like for the Stoke encounter? What size of attendance do 'The Kings' regularly need to keep going? How long will the team/management be given to achieve those attendance figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What was the crowd like for the Stoke encounter? What size of attendance do 'The Kings' regularly need to keep going? How long will the team/management be given to achieve those attendance figures? Purely a guess and not intended to offend but as a comparison in Wimbledon's Conference League days I think it was 800 (I only think - I don't know). I would think that would be a figure needed by Kent Kings but the indications are that they are getting more than that. It's most unlikely - this is speedway not football - that an accurate attendance figure will be given. But I am sure forum members might be able to project a few "guesstimates".

Nikko Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What was the crowd like for the Stoke encounter? The crowd was slightly down on the normal as there were major issues with the roads due to 2 major accidents earlier in the day. We were lucky all the riders eventually made it. What size of attendance do 'The Kings' regularly need to keep going? We are well above what is required and appreciate all the support we are getting. How long will the team/management be given to achieve those attendance figures? As above, obviously we would like to win, at least home fixtures, but the fans have stuck with us.

Guest Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The reply to the quotes sadly were rather confusing in the way they were compiled, but in the end I managed to sort things out. It might have helped had either the original question or the reply been in colour. Thanks all the same for a good response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's "Welcome back for David Mason.Let's just hope he now justifies the support he has had on here - this member included.
