Number23 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Looks like a very good meeting. Weather should be much better than the mudbath -v- Buxton (cannot be worse). Layne has moved on and we wish him well and hope that he fulfils his potential with Cradley. New young signing with experience of the track but will need the advice and help from Scott and Shane to guide him. Expect the usual around Lynn from Tom, Nathan and Josh. Very sensible of both managers not to ride Layne tomorrow. Look forward to it. Woops should be 8.6.16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hate to say it but our only hope is to keep it close until the last 3 heats.That may need some misfortune for the home riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Kings lynn win, we only av 3 riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Kings lynn win, we only av 3 riders! Thats maybe a little unfair on Ben Basford, I expect nothing from Andrews( just keep learning) & i will say nothing about purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I think it will be close. Cradley should get a consolation point if nothing else. Its a case of seeing what we can do in heats 13 and 15. I hope Ben Basford gets a few points tonight. I've been impressed with him so far. Signed as a 3 pointer but has done much better than expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Beautiful evening for it. Hoping Josh, Tom and Ryan can claim some good scalps tonight. Think the Young Stars all round strength should come through but if Cradley do keep it close to the end, it could be painful. Good luck to Lewis on his full debut.

stevehone Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 so what's happened to all the Cradley supporters? when you were winning there were loads, tonight there were maybe a dozen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_t Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 so what's happened to all the Cradley supporters? when you were winning there were loads, tonight there were maybe a dozen Which is about a dozen more than the number of KL fans that came to Monmore.

stevehone Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 no doubt, but I always thought Cradley boasted about their support and a couple of seasons ago when you were winning there were loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_t Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Maybe interest is waning after a disappointing 2015 campaign caused by the management not bothering to replace a rider who missed most of the season (Greaves)and this year signing a rider who wasn't available most of the time(Kingston).They are now about to replace someone who can't reach an assessed average of three with a rider who can just about reach an assessed average of three. Oh and the fact that Cradley are never going to get their own track doesn't help either. Edited June 8, 2016 by martin_t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number23 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 What a good nights racing. Credit to Cradley and well done to K Lynn. Some excellent racing, expected riders doing well but all credit to Lewis, 15 years old and picking up points, confidence building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Complete rubbish Steve, at least 50 there, u wudnt notice some, aint as if we had anythin to shout about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I wasnt there so i cant comment, but the usual away following is around 50 for the long distance Tracks, i was at eastbourne and thats how many were there, which isnt bad all things considered, we dont all have Cradley Scarves, Jackets, etc etc. To travel to Kings Lynn midweek, when the weather at the home end was attrocious isnt easy, and as 1984 said we currently dont have much to shout about, well done to those that made the trip..

Ommer Mon Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 The 2013 Play Off Final turn out was incredible but very much reflected the fact that Cradley were winning a League title for the first time in 30 years and for many of us it completed a long and painful journey since 1995. Have to admit I'm puzzled by the lack of management activity in filling Jack Kingston's place. There are options out there from what I'm told.

mrscambelt Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Richard Andrews from Eastbourne is free as i dont think he can still be injured, As i just read Nick Phillips has gone to the IOW after his injury, Shelby Rutherford is not at Buxton, Spiller Boys or you have have to have a reshuffle with a few riders taken its toll and rebuild as others have done this year. Matt Sauly is free so there is a few out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
