Islander15 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I haven't put much thought into this but: 1. Mark Baseby 7.90 2. Chris Widman 4.53 3. Nathan Stoneman 7.00 4. Ben Hopwood 6.00 5. Darryl Ritchings 7.04 6. Layne Cupitt 3.18 7. Kelsey Dugard 4.28 Total: 39.93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway28 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 No idea on averages but for Mildenhall: 1 Armstrong 2 Stoneman 3 Coles 4 Bowtell 5 Mountain 6 Hampshire 7 Jenkins 8 Bebee I'd imagine that's the most likely side they'll have although wouldn't be surprised to see Jenkins and Hampshire elsewhere. Can't see many changes whatever happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Bickley 3.00 7. Tom Brennan 3.00 Total - 39.75 That would be a cracking team, would love that combination, but I would think the chances of getting Bickley and Jenkins is probably nil unfortunately. Could look like this? 1.Ellis Perks 8.68 2.Richard Andrews 4.36 3.Georgie Wood 7.53 4.Kelsey Dugard 4.28 5.Jake Knight 8.54 6.Newby to speedway 3.00 7.Tom Brennen 3.00 Total 39.39 If the final averages put Luke Harris or Charley Powell under 3.61 insert in No 6.

Alex2000 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 That nick Laurence I think it was last night? Didn't look to shabby after the meeting I know he's no youth but still worth a shot in my eyes could be another Danny Ayres story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see many changes whatever happens. I am not so sure. If they did not feel confident that they had him tied up for next year then surely they would have used him more to get a true average. Why protect his 3.0 for somebody else's benefit? You might lose one of Hampshire or Beebee because top 5 looks to much for them at this stage.

They wanted him to stay he went where the money is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might lose one of Hampshire or Beebee because top 5 looks to much for them at this stage. It wasn't Mildenhall that was protecting his average though it was the family. They were aware he would be an attractive prospect on a 3.00 but not a 7.00 which it could have been due to rolling averages. Much in the same way that whilst Stoneman is an almost cert for Mildenhall he doesn't look superb value on a 7.00 Looking ahead at next season reserves will be more important than ever as there are not many riders available on bargain averages unlike this year so educated guesses will play a part more than ever.

You might lose one of Hampshire or Beebee because top 5 looks to much for them at this stage. Kevin Jolly went on record to say that it was Jenkins family protecting his average. Makes perfect sense to me as it'll certainly give him more options next year. I could see him going to Eastbourne over Birmingham if he's not at Mildenhall. Hampshire is someone who I'd be desperate to sign if I was the Mildenhall promotion. The amount that he improved over the season was exceptional and he even beat Jenkins in the challenge meeting, having been nearly half a lap behind in the early stages of the year in the second halves. I can't see Bebee coming back straight away, he'll go in and out of the team next year I'd imagine, if he does in fact decide to return.

Seems like us Eastbourne fans are all talking roughly the same Mine would be something like this 1. Ellis Perks (love him and he has mastered Arlington) 2. Kelsey Dugard (Surely they can get him going a bit better and put a point on his average....he is a Dugard) 3. Georgie Wood, (time the next baby for winter please) 4. Gary Cotham (would like to see what he can do and I like that he is so keen) 5. Jake Knight (Although I do tend to get a bit stressed if he dont gate)! 6. Tommy B (Probably the biggest dead cert in the league) 7. Nick Phillips (as per Gary Cotham) Obviously I would make the call to Jordan Jenkings if I was Connor but I am guessing pretty much every other club will do that as well so I am assuming we dont get him. Luke and Charlie just a victim of averages really. I sponsored Charlies race suit this year so its hard to leave him out and Luke has done nothing wrong! I would HATE to be a team manager.

Alex2000 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Eastbourne Ellis Perks 8.68 Gazza C 4.70 Georgie Wood 7.53 Ben Hopwood 6.00 Jake Knight 8.54 Tom Brennan 3.00 Jordan Jenkins 3.00 I know its roughly the same as other Eastbourne teams but i think its a realistic guess. I really want to see Gary Cottham for more than one meeting and would be happy to sign him for next year as i think he can score well with the right equipment and help, looked like his heart was in his racing when we saw him this season. again we have 3 or 4 potential number 1s there in Wood, Knight, Perks and lesser but still Hopwood. Brenna and Jenkins would be best reserves in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope we keep hold of Jenkins but I believe he could be Eastbourne bound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a first!!! Ha never get things right so don't bank on it! What makes you say he's Eastbourne bound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Personally i would suspect Jenkins is Brum bound. However with Brennan @ Eastie, Jenkins @ Brum, Bickley @ Belle Vue (if they run) and Atkins @ Cradley it would create a good spread of the top 3 pointers. many many ifs in there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No significant reason really. I just think if he was going to be at Mildenhall, it would've been a done deal already. Maybe it is and they just haven't announced it yet but I would've thought they'd announce it straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking team but probably 2/3 points too high as I imagine the points will be 40 again,unfairly this year we haven't completed all our league matches and will be unable to lower our averages with a 60/30 loss at KL !!!
