waco Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I truly believe the best improving 3 pointers will hold the balance of power this season like never before... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 And confirmed on the Kent website.hopefully he continues his improvement as he has got steadily better each time he has visited, a good local flavour to the Kent side this year may well put a few more bums on seats aswell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Danny ayres beating Greaves and phillips at scunthorpe today got to be a massive boost to the rest of the Kent lads.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wonder if Veggie Jnr has been trying to negotiate some sponsorship with the manufacturers of the Aussie delicacy Vegemite whilst he's been Down Under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 "With an overall aim of getting as many Kent-born or Kent-based riders as possible into the Kings’ squad....." Interesting statement from Kent? With only Verge & Baseby current born or based Kent riders does this point to other local lads for the 6&7 positions?

Sings4Speedway Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Of the eligible 3 point riders available for the remaining places I believe both Jamie Couzins & Rob Watts are Kent lads. Personally I think Adam Sheppard & Watts would be a good fit at 6&7 with Couzins filling the required No.8 berth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 When i saw them ride together on occasions Cousins was half a lap in front of shepherd ,so would prefer him by a country mile.... Not impressed with Shepherd at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 My choice was based more upon experience of the league tracks and mileage already put in. Not sure how many tracks Couzins has actually been too or how prepared for all the travelling he is? I think there will be some shocks for several of the newbies across the league this year when they learn how time and financially draining league racing is and sadly suspect mid season retirements.

Not impressed with Shepherd at all Rikki Mullins it is then. Bike supplied by Rob Couzins - is that Jamies Dad ? So if so could it also be Couzins ?

waco Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Your absolutely right Sings for kings the costs are astronomic especially for low point scorers mainly on £10 a point.. thats £30 to 3 pointer... Costs before you start a meeting on basics ,,such as tyre,oil, methanol,,, around £70...The travel money only gets you to the track,,pay your own way going home, to say nothing about damage to the bike,, plus exspensive regular engine tuning to stay competitive...,And you need sponsers or a well off Mum and Dad or Grand parents to survive..It will be really hard for some... I wish them all the best of luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Been around a long while, looks a poor signing being totally honest. He's been around a long time and never progressed beyond third tier reserve appearances and second halves. A bad workman blames his tools and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Been around a long while, looks a poor signing being totally honest. He's been around a long time and never progressed beyond third tier reserve appearances and second halves. A bad workman blames his tools and all that. Do not agree about that with Speedway in third tier. Bad tools means break downs and no points,where as good tools means races finished and points, Edited January 13, 2015 by AJ is King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 He beat danny ayres in a race last season so he has some pace. Good signing when you look at some other team reserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnir Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 So how much does that leave us remaining for the 7th rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 The standard from top to bottom of teams is much lower this season..,Pace wise Mullins at reserve compared to a lot of rookies at reserve,, he should be more than capable of getting good points in that position..Rikkies old problem apart from machinery used to be staying upright ,if he can address these then he should be a good signing in my opinion.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
