eaglesno1 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Will be interested to see the riding order. I believe only 1,6 &7 are designated places with 2,3,4 & 5 interchangeable. I would go with Mark Baseby at 2 as back up to Tom Brennan, with Georgie at 3 and Mattie Bates 4.This leaves Jake at 5 to cover heat 13, and Alex Spooner 6 and Charley 7. Looking forward to Saturday there should be 5 good heats against Bowen with Ben Hopwood showing his liking for the track and being competitive. Apart from that it will probably be a bit one sided. That is the rider order that I would have gone with but according to an article in the Argus the new riding order is:1) Brennan 2) Bates 3) Knight 4) Wood 5) Baseby 6) Spooner 7) Powell Edited June 1, 2017 by eaglesno1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosTheory22 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Good move by Conner to sign Jake (I'm not riding this season ???) Knight think he's a good addition. I still feel though Belle Vue will have the beating of most teams this year. I think if we can reach the play offs and avoid Belle Vue we may have an ok chance at getting the holy grail (league) Connor Coles & Kelsy will thrive at the Island no pressure just go there and enjoy it. Not under the threat of the father & son dugard guillotine. best of luck to both hope they do well. Heard a rumour last Saturday waiting to sign George Hunter at reserve. So perhaps young Alex spoooner won't be around for long. Feel certain we will beat the Kings on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubichair Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Knight will quit again at end of season then Come back half way through next season! Just a waste of space tbh either stick to speedway or just never ride again Edited June 1, 2017 by hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway28 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I keep asking myself the same question but time is passing and I can see no logical reason why his new team has not announced him. Looking at his new bike covers I just cannot match them to any side, particularly with the Union Jack. Perhaps Mildenhall 1965 can throw some light after his reliable source said Connor Coles had been released. Was it just a wind up? Told you it was a reliable source... Although it's been obvious for ages that Knight was back and he's only ever going to go to Eastbourne in reality so just a matter of time.

eaglesno1 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Interesting to see that on the new greensheet averages the Matt Saul has been declared in the team not Alex Spooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 This might explain things: https://twitter.com/NLSpeedway/status/870984762902679554 but why would it? Saul was in the team so no reason to cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 but why would it? Saul was in the team so no reason to cancel I think he means it explains why Saul is in instead of Spooner as opposed to an explanation of why the meeting was cancelled.

gazzac Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 The meeting was cancelled because of the break in, no other alterior motive,all laid out by Martin on the official website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Terrible news, presumably Grass Tracking. Lets hope it is not as bad as first thought and does not have any adverse effect on his career. The penalty I suppose of being an out and out racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
