steven101 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Anybody know if Freemantle is looking to ride again? Fairly sure he's still on a 3 - don't think he ever got a new average. No mate, you wont see him make a return 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Would love to see Jack Kingston, however being a weekday track I doubt it would suit him, and then that would mean we would need a good 3 pointer at reserve, and I don't see many out there, one other option is Ishy but like a previous poster, I don't have anything against him personally, but he doesn't set my pulses racing, much rather see a youngster looking to move forward in the Sport, rather than a rider who rides when it suits him, and lets be honest does not have much ambition..

Heathen1984 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Its gona be Kingston, average fits perfect. Good signing it will be aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Correct 1984 once again! Leaves a 3.00 to find! 40.00 on the dot! Really need to see Purchase and Kingston step it up for a decent side! Chessel also, it's a team that needs to see a lot of improvement if we're going to push towards the top! Really intresting side! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great to have Jack Kingston in the Team, he reminds me a lot of Jason Garrity maybe a tad more controlled, but Jack has the potential to go a long way, this year will be a big year for him the 3rd Heat Leader spot is a vital role to fill.

pete cc Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not as much as the Eagles side! I'm not going to use the words trick track but if you do ride for Eastbourne the home track does have its advantages & your average should rise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very solid looking 1-5. A lot will depend on how Chessell & Kingston ride together at 3&4. Could be brilliant, could be a disaster. If Basford can chip in with a few points and Andrews is as good as the hype I think its a very dangerous looking side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 This Cradley side has the feel of the Birmingham 2015 side to me - Two big hitters in Morris and Clegg (for Perry & Ellis) and looking for a Wajtknecht (Andrews?) with the rest looking to score their required points needed to get over the line and pick up the wins. I don't see any great improver's in the other four riders but they dont necessarily need to beBirmingham won the league with their highest point score in a meeting being 54 and won 8 meetings with scores in the 40's!It will be interesting to see if this Cradley team can emulate them!

Sings4Speedway Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think this Cradley side looks better than last years Brum side (although I did massively underestimate them). However Morris & Clegg are like for like with Ellis & Perry but the middle order looks much more solid. Chessell, Purchase & Kingston are a much better engine room than Chapman, Kirby & Banks. Yes Brum had the Waj effect but I still think Andrews & Basford will be a solid reserve pairing so for a team that started out looking top heavy has actually ended up looking very strong throughout. A lot will depend how they do on their travels but I can see this team notching 50+ most weeks at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise there was any hype about Bradley Andrews, he is simply a young man who wants to give Speedway in the NL a try, he missed a large chunk of last season through injury, he has relatives who rode for Cradley, and those contacts have been continued when the family visited the UK a couple of years ago. Bradley is just an ordinary kid who wants to give it a go, there is NO hype, he isn't a BWD, he is a rider who looks decent from the gate, but still has more than a few rough edges to iron out, absolutely NO hype only what other people are making up..
