Sings4Speedway Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sings4Kings, you seem to well versed in these matters. Do you have suggestions who might fill the remaining slots at Gloomy Road? Thanks Not sure how many extra riders you would like at Gloomer Road? From what i can see there is only the Tedham sized gap to fill? Plus Sam ward at number 8 again as Stoke have stopped doing anything to unearth their own riders. Stoke Potters 1. Mitchell Davey 8.34 2. Shaun Tedham 3.93 3. Luke Priest 8.33 4. Ryan Terry-Daley 4.55 5. Tony Atkin 7.16 6. Chris Hay 3.23 7. David Wallinger 3.32 8. Sam Ward 3.00 Looks an alright team with solid heat leaders so providing the 2nd strings & reserves can do a bit it might not be so gloomy this season? How many matches Davey misses doubling up will probably decide the fate of Stokes season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have been that under-whelmed that I hadn't noticed that they had just about managed to hand out all the race jackets. With this line-up, I can't see them getting in the top half of the table. But hey, who knows. Hopefully, the Gloomy Roadsters can now turn their attention to avoiding the situation where the crowd is introduced to the riders. Come on Stoke, you can do it if you really try! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Hang on im having a funny 5 minutes as i included Chris Hay in the wrong side! Still room for Tedham though and 3.28 for the final rider? Andy Mellish 3.21? Stoke Potters1. Mitchell Davey 8.342. Shaun Tedham 3.933. Luke Priest 8.334. Ryan Terry-Daley 4.555. Tony Atkin 7.166.

Little Thumper Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) There you go! We are both dopes. I was having a chat with Andy Mellish at a grass track meeting last year. What a very pleasant chap indeed and a good friend of Tony Atkin. So, sadly, your suggestion that he might go to Stoke may be a wise one. Hope not because I quite like the guy. Needs as needs must, I suppose and perhaps he might be Stoked. Edited January 11, 2017 by Little Thumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Super ted signs Shaun Tedham confirmed What is he now? 36 years old? The perfect man for this Dads Army team. Stoke Potters 1. A 27 year old 2. A 36 year old 3. A 32 year old 4. A 22 year old 5. A 51 year old 6. Victor Meldrew? Albert Steptoe? Privtate Frazer? (who knows?) 7. A 32 year old Combined ages of the six so far signed riders = 200 Average age per rider = 33yrs & 4 months Is there a record for the oldest ever team? I hear the arguements about having an experienced rider on hand to help the youngsters along, but seriously, this it going a bit too far isn't it? Poor Arthur Daley is there just to remind the oldies what it is to have been young once, isn't he? I'm sorry, but for the role that the National League is supposed to play in developing young talent, this team is bringing that concept into disrepute.

*JJ Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Stoke - like most of the present NL - is a standalone team whose purpose is to entertain their supporters and win matches (at least at home). And if possible, make a bit of money ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway, this team should not be approved by the BSPA/SCB the "3rd." division should be all about developing young British riders. I can also state that a few years ago I refused to ride in this league for that reason! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Matches V Plymouth will be like an OAP outing Could be a first for British Speedway.... A meeting where the average age of the two teams is actually higher than the average age of those watching.....!!! Well its one way of attracting the 'younger crowd' so many say Speedway is missing !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think Stoke have got a good team this year. A top 3 who can score decent points home and away, while the others can all chip in with a few points too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
