beckettlion Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thought your boys looked good today. Garrity was brilliant, howarth mixed well with our heat leaders. Bates looked quick and seemed to have more control than previous years, hall was impressively quick at reserve. Special mention to Greaves. Bit out of his depth but gated as well as anyone on show today. Showed great instincts to lay the Nike down and avoid what could have been a serious injury to Richard hall. Looked to have a good style and never dropped too far back. Hope anyone that Mae the effort to come down enjoyed the meeting. Good luck for the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIS002 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think Greaves will be OK this year, young Pinkie Bates will consolidate last years progress and hope Jason progresses like he should do, frenchie will be awesome at home, Howarth will be a comfortable heat leader and Rich Hall will get back his mojo. Sadly Simon Stead out of action again. Wish The lads and managers good luck for 2016. Challenge matches between elite and premier I hate so didn't attend but wish both teams good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckettlion Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Can understand why you don't like challenges. Think I'd have been frustrated had I been a tigers fan. Steady should be back on Thursday for the return leg. I would absolutely love him to get a maximum and show our management what we could have had!

Four riders, four laps that's a race, that's why I go to speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 After last nights performances if I were the team manager (or one of them), I'd change the riding order. With Stead looking to be well back to his old self I'd swop Berge and Bates. Berge looks like he can handle the bigger tracks better than Bates so I'd have him giving some back up to Howarth at Alwalton and also at home. Berge looked very fast out of the gates last night and once he hit the front he was flying! He couldn't quite get to grips with Ryan Douglas last night, who had a really good evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The team would be better balanced with bates at 2, I believe it is a team sport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The pairing of Howarth and Bates is a bit strange to me..They both seem to want the same part of the track and get in each others way.Would it be better to give it more time to improve or do we swap Dimi and Josh ? Dimi looks quite smooth and in control ,very impressed with him so far.He has a tendancy to start the season well then fade so hopefully if we can be successful he might keep his form throughout the season.

Pep Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Sheffield look decent so far but the acid test will come at the smaller tracks. I think Owlerton suits Berge but will be interesting to see how he does at the likes of Rye House and Armadale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Best Thursday evening of the year so far and no meeting! Not good especially as last week was rained off. Ok so it was pencilled in for essential stadium maintenance, why couldn't that be done between September and March? No wonder people are losing interest in speedway and it's on its arse!

EIS002 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm sure the promotion are as frustrated as we are Steve. Can't wait for Sunday's win at Peterborough 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
