Sings4Speedway Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not seen anything about this yet so thought id better start it for once. Interesting prospect ahead. What will Shanes make of Rye House? Somehow I can't see it being a track he will relish. A fully fit Danny Ayres goes well there but how rusty is he? Obviously Ben goes well at Rye but who will back him up? Brandford & Chessell seem to have been rampant so far so could be a major thorn in the Kings side. Two total rookies for Rye against Jamie & Adam neither having particularly good records at the Hertfordshire track. Think the bragging rights will go to Silver Jnr for this one but should hopefully be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Think this will be close. Branford should just about have the beating of Morley IMO. The 2-5 spots look pretty even and the Raiders reserves seem to have made a better account of themselves than their Kings counterparts so far this season. Looking forward to seeing Ayres (hopefully) and Shanes around Rye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Definitely has a feel of who throws the least points away will take this one. Whichever reserves set steps up will have the edge but I fear F/X may top the scoring charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Has sheppard not ridden for the raiders in the MDL? Speaking to James Shanes Monday it's not a track he enjoys or indeed get round well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysue Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Entertaining meeting and a fair result too. Bowtell and Hume both look as if they are going to develop into good riders. Bowtell had a couple of falls at the back in his last two heats when he seemed to be trying to get the job done in the first lap. Something which will be ironed out with the more competitive track time he gets I'm sure. Look forward to seeing these two progress through the year. Chessell could be a heatleader in this league if he stayed on his bike a bit more. Shanes didn't impress as much as I thought he would. Didn't look comfortable on the track and took a nasty spill, hope he's back on track very soon. Ayres looks good, seems very passionate from his post race reactions, think he can progress to the PL in future if he carries on in the same vein. Couzins also looks like he'll become a tidy rider in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 A decent meeting tonight on a tricky track. A draw was a fair result after both teams suffered some bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) i was told tonight that it was overwatered before the start of the meeting. Sounds like a good close meeting, Robert enjoyed the track. Part of Roberts text this morning was, track was sweet , nice and grippy. Obviously he and guys like Ben have a lot more experience , will do the other riders good for the future. What were the race times like.

Silly comment really I'm sure he wasn't happy that they had just lost the meeting, you can't win with some people , show some emotion you get canned. , don't show any and you get acused of not caring . Looking at updates would Chessel not have bent a better bet in heat 15. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at updates would Chessel not have bent a better bet in heat 15. Junior Luke Chessell was coming out for heat 15. According to the announcer he was not allowed to be nominated as he was not one of the top 3 scoring riders. My understanding is that this rule does not apply in NL. Can anyone clear this up?

Can I just answer some comments above about Shanes. 1) How can you judge a rider after ONE ride ? 2) He said before Rye House was not his favourite track ! 3) He is without doubt the most entertaining rider in this League. 4) By getting injured,that without doubt cost Kent the win. And finally I hope he is not too bad as he will be a massive miss for Kings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
