ZODIAK Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Will we have any Shale on the track this time... "Changes have been made on the track but I have a broader view of the whole club, not just the team, although that is very key of course. For me, we were put on the back foot in the winter as we needed to invest in a new air fence, which for any speedway club nowadays, £20,000-£25,00 is a lot of money, but we needed to do that. At the same time, track wise, things had deteriorated a bit and there's been some necessary investing" That was from Louis himself so at least he's admitted the track has deteriorated, but I'm not quite sure where the supposed investment has gone track wise? Maybe the outlay on the new air fence has meant little left in the kity to put some much needed shale on the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 why did you's need a new air fence? just wonderingthey have a shelf life I think 10 years or something like and our old one had reached that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wouldn't R/R be Risager, Sargeant and the reserves? Far too risky that especially with Paco struggling to get around Foxhall at the moment. Definitely need a guest. Still think Heeps will be the one but we should find out soon. R/R would be Covatti, Risager, Sarjeant and one of the reserves, as Kerr was the higher average rider to cover for Risager at Scunthorpe.

Ahh thanks I thought Risager was a fraction ahead of Kerr in the averages. A little better then, but I'd still prefer to go with a guest I think depending on the quality available.

Baldyman Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 A guest is always better just in case someone picks up a knock. Saturday can't come soon enough. I need some speedway Anyone know if steady is fit enough to race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit reduction for Lewis means for team building average is below Morten but his true CMA and therefore his team positioning is higher. For me it comes down to the best choice to win the match. Its vital not to lose at home again. So if Chris and Ritchie think a guest is the best option it should be a guest. If they think r/r would do better then it should be r/r. Depends on who is actially available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 With both bates and garritty in opposition rr would be a big risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Agree it's actually a huge meeting for us Saturday. We had a really poor home record last season, and we simply can't afford to lose both our opening two home meetings of this season as well.
