Halifaxtiger Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Cant believe no-one has put up a topic yet, so before i go to work, here it is. Im going for a narrow away win for The Heathens. I think you are right, reserve strength in particular counting. Its going to take a major effort from Mildenhall's top five to see them take points, never mind all of them. Of all the matches I have been to this season, this is undoubtedly one of the most attractive and, I'd say, one of the biggest. Some might suggest it is a mere NL meeting but, as any fan of one of the two clubs would confirm, it is anything but. The two teams are definitely the most prominent in the NL and, Kent maybe aside, get the best attendances (I'll be surprised if it isn't four figures this afternoon). They are both in the top four, and are full of young talented British riders. Then there's the superb West Row raceway (prepared by my old mate Bob Ellis) which is one of my favourites and also one of the best in the country. Finally, of course, (and while I don't want to overstate it it clearly exists) there's the needle between the two clubs. Defeat for Mildenhall (although not disastrous) will be very hard to stomach, but Dudley will be very disappointed if they don't take anything from the match. Always makes for a better and more anticipated meeting, that. Edited September 8, 2013 by Halifaxtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think will be more of a disappointment for Dudley if they do not top 50. Expect to see some good racing though, if the Top 3 can score well and Aaron pick up points like last week will keep it interesting. Good experience for the young un's as well.

Heathen1984 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Waste of time travelling. Can take losing but when it looks like we are trying to lose it, makes no sense. Very strange decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Greaves 2 (4) Thanks for that Mr Presenter, now i can understand what some supporters are moaning about, Three riders 3 points between them, and no extra rides for Dan G, long way to go to see your Team lose, and riders to have practice.

Agree GreyhoundP, Lewis, Ashley & Dan G must be scratching their heads after fighting to the last - Lewis highly delighted at winning Ht 15 is the way it should be - not sure that any of the others learned anything in taking the full quota of rides. Also not sure on the spin that it was to give riders track time, sure your large contingent of traveling supporters felt the same.

WembleyLion Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I enjoyed the meeting and have to agree to some of the above posts. Apart from giving some riders more track time I cannot think why Dudley were so intent on losing today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Also not sure on the spin that it was to give riders track time, sure your large contingent of traveling supporters felt the same. Kev I can't think of any other reason, Kev. Having said that, I'd question whether giving them their fourth ride would make any difference. Indeed, it might actually damage their confidence at West Row. If I were a Dudley fan who travelled, I'd feel slightly cheated that my team could have won but effectively chose not to - in my view for very little gain. With an eye on possible KO cup & play off meetings, I don't think anyone will get too carried away given that Mildenhall were weakened and Dudley's tactics, but the result must have given more pleasure to the Mildenhall camp. No-one I spoke to thought they would win. The meeting itself was close but there wasn't much good racing. However, the suggestion that you could not pass was blown apart by an amazing heat 13, in which Halsey brilliantly beat Blackbird from behind after the pair had passed and repassed. One of the best races I have seen anywhere this season. Mildenhall's match winner, though, was Rumsey - aided by a superb team ride by Armstrong in heat 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunty Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 If they had told fans to stay away and explain that it would be used as a practise then it wouldnt be to bad! But they are not allowed to do this, not alowed to disrespect the opoposition! Fact of the matter is, they could have won and booked a practise session somewhere else this week if they wanted to do this! Nathan Greaves has been doing a few laps after the last few home meetings because he is bang out of form and low on confidence! Wrong move by the Heathens Team Manager and very disheartening on alot of fan who traveled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
