Need one or two decent NL riders for the Select side to make it competitive. Could've even just put Jenkins in that side. What happened to Luke Ruddick once he was let go for Jenkins and Bebee? Would be good to see him back for the last meeting. Always know when Mildenhall are struggling for riders, they don't put out a press release on the website until very late!

R/r in a challenge mate?? Not very good. Mildenhall definitely wanna win by looking at the select team, looks a rubbish meeting by looking at the teams

One of the Fen Tigers got a chance in a premier league match, so he went for it!

 

Jordan is a rider who is one to watch next season, he stood out in the MDL meeting so seeing him ride with the main riders is a chance and a half ahead of next season!

Will be popping along the A14 to this as I haven't been to Mildenhall for ages and, after Connor Coles magnificent efforts for the Witches on Thursday and having seen him ride for the U23's on the Island, I'd like to see him race again. Connor became an instant fans' favourite with his efforts and commitment and skill at Foxhall.

 

And I remember dear old Bernie Klatt very well, so it would be a nice mark of respect to attend a meeting that contains races in his honour and memory.

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 which includes your mobile number.

 

Thanks

Enjoyed this today. Been to nearly every home meeting this year and the heat 1 race between Ayres and Stoneman was one of the best. Stoneman was impressive, he'll have loads of offers next year dependent on his average. Taylor Hampshire has improved a significant amount recently and I'm sure Mildenhall will be looking to secure him and Jenkins for the reserve berths next year. Ayres is always the entertainer and got better as the meeting went on and deserved to win the trophy. A team including Stoneman, Coles, Mountain, Jenkins, Hampshire/Bebee would be very entertaining next year.

Totally agreed 2802.

 

Enjoyed the old school format of the meeting and 40 - 38 was classic.

 

Oh I went to this. Sorry I didn't see your request sue.

 

Not a bad meeting. Very impressed with the lad that goes round at ipswich before the meeting Jordan jenkins. A bit more water now and then may have helped to keep the massive blue groove away.

 

Didn't see you there baldyman and I toured round the stadium a couple of times. You should have come over and said hello.

 

Also met someone I haven't seen for thirty odd years which made it a special day for me. Great to see you again Mt Chittock and thanks for the choccies.

Yeah was there. You got to about 10 foot away once when you stopped and chatted to someone on the back straight..but then you went the other way back to the concrete

 

Oh ok, that was when I was seeking out Mr Chittock who I haven't seen for about 30 years and spent many happy years following the Witches home and away from 75 to 84. Mike taught me to sing backwards, which I had forgotten about until I saw him on Sunday. His wife, Carol, who passed away tragically young was a massive Dennis Sigalos fan and ran his fan club for some time. I had done a circuit before that semi circle.

 

I guess you left straight after the meeting as I hung around for some time after, chatting to Danny and his family and crew, Connor who has incurred a cost of £250 to fly back from holiday on the Thursday to enable him to ride at Armadale on Friday, Nigel Flatman, Kevin, Rob Henry and others. Always been a great part of speedway, being able to mingle after meetings.

Being such a pretty boy I'm surprised you didn't see me, or pob

 

Thanks but I don't think I am pretty, lol.

 

Not a problem anyway as am used to being away on my own and chatting with the locals. Spent a bit of time with the Ayres family after the meeting. What a nice group of people they all are. Must try and fit him in at Foxhall next season if the Witches run PL. Would save Danny a drive to Glasgow for every home meeting.
