Ayres in different class. Come on leaps and bounds every time he raced at Arlington. Just wants to win.

 

Brennan for the Eagles was excellent but Heathens threw away a lot of points and Arlington not the greatest track for Armstrong.

On track did ok and at the moment strength in depth working at home,although it was dustier than usual, but what's happened to the presentation. Couldn't hear it, and had no idea what was going on, we're we in an interval etc. Don't know if it's a one off, but need to sort it out, if I'd have been a newbie would have had no chance of picking up what it was about. I know we can't go back to the heady days of Kevin Coombes, but surely we can do better than tonight.

The win was better than I expected with only Ayres showing... Mattie again had a second problematic night machinery being the main cause of the problem... wonder if that bike the fans got together to pay for for GC last year is still in the Dugard household... If so can't Matt give that a whirl instead at the next meeting? As he definitely has the potential to score between 6 and 9 a meeting if the bike holds out.

Eastbourne won and deservedly so, having said that i thought Eastbourne were there for the taking, i dont think they are great shakes this year, Brennan is keeping them on the winning side at the moment, Mark is not a No1, Georgie to inconsistent, Connor hasnt moved forward, Matty Hot or Cold, and Powell well he is Powell, and Kelsey wasnt fully fit,Thats why i thought Eastbourne looked their for the taking, but Cradley simply were not good enough to take advantage, and when you get two riders failing to finish a race when up against one Eastbourne rider then it simply rubs salt into the wounds for the fans, i dont know if its good enough for the management but they certainly need a rocket up there backside, i dont think some of the riders are riding to their true ability for whatever reason, I Think this will be the 3rd season without winning something worthwhile if it carries on, Danny Ayres was the exception to these comments. Thats from a very dissapointed Cradley fan.

Cant see either team being good enuff to reach the play offs if im honest!!

 

 

I understand your sentiments but I still think they can both reach the play offs. There looks a decent gap between the top 5 (B V, Mild, Bir, CH & East) and the rest. There are bound to be tough times when they meet each other.

As regards actually winning either League or Cup I agree, No Chance!

 

Keep the faith.

At this level should anyone expect to win anything surely the NL should not be about that.

What 4 teams are better then? I think there's a clear top 5 like Hunters has said.

It's still about winning as well as development. Try being a supporter of a stand alone team who's only speedway is in this division and you'll realise that you want your team to win, like in any sport.

It did seem a bit odd seeing a strength in depth team last night, having had Ellis, Knight and Perks last year. But I suppose league wise the plan is working and Connor and Martin must be pleased as the team is winning without them all fireing together at the moment apart from Tom who should get better and better as the season goes on. If BV are as good as they appear think it would be difficult to win a playoff against them as like last year would always have a chance at home but likely to get hammered away. Still think it's possible for the playoffs though, need a bit of luck with the draw in the ko cup to retain it though.

You've drawn Kent and the winner of that faces King's Lynn.
