Wake Up Plymouth


Recommended Posts

Having started this thread off and created quite a debate I feel that it is only right that I respond to the last few days news.

 

The club have reacted to the critisism and concern shown by the paying fans, and those who have stopped going and reacted by bringing in an exciting rider in place of a struggling reserve. I hope that the fans do return because they have shown a commitment to us and we should all gather together and show them our thanks through the turnstiles.

 

Equally I am sure we all wish Ben Reade all the best, it is such a shame that he was not competitive this year although he did try hard he just couldnt get the points.

I advocated that Plymouth sign Royno last season but it never happened, however better late than never :t: not only have you got a good rider, but you have added a great personality to the team, great with supporters and sponsors alike, just dont expect him to come in and score double points reguarly to begin with, give him time and you have yourself an entertainer, and a potential match winner if anyone deserves some luck Adam and Plymouth do, and success for both could go hand in hand.. but i repeat give him a little time to get his confidence back. I really wish i lived a little nearer than what i do, but i will definately be down to watch at some stage this season, originally i was going to come and watch a NL meeting, but now i will have to watch a Devils meeting also, good luck for the rest of the season.

didn't Dad ride there?

 

Yes indeed, 1968-70. For more info see the Devils website here:

Select the History tab and then Rider Index. Chris features about half way down the 1931 - 2005 section of the index.

Plymouth.

 

Barker, 9.19.

Roynon, 7.09.

Jensen,6.39.

Katajisto, 5.46.

Simota, 5.20.

Newman, 5.18.

Benko, 3.24.

 

= 41.75.

 

This news has made the Ancient Mariner a very happy bunny!

 

A stronger main body and at any one given time a powerful reserve who can score plenty of points, taking a lot of the pressure off Roland Benko who we already know can score well at home. All round a much better balance to the team.

 

And now the Devils progress in the PLKOC for the first time ever. So the Ancient Mariner's cup doth truly runneth over

 

What would round off a very good day rather nicely, would be for the earlier stone throwers on this thread (there are possibly 4 of them that in particular spring to mind and I'm sure they know who they are) to post again, stating if they think the Devils promotion are still asleep and if so, why.
