Beowulf Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Back in action after a week off. No teams on the Wolves web-site yet but should be at full strength apart from a guest for Mark Riss, who is confirmed as .................................................Ellis Perks. I believe this is the first match since Rye House made their team changes and who should they be facing but one of the riders they dropped. Funny old world speedway. Harris, Nicholls and Robson are acknowledged track specialists and of course Wells is an ex Wolf, plenty of experience there. Having said that the powers of Harris and Nicholls are waning, although Robson should still do well at reserve. To Rye fans I would say don't expect too much from Sedgman or in particular Barker, I don't think he would class Monmore as one of his favourites. Wolves are fairly well established in the play off positions, so an 8 to 10 point win is more than enough. The Wolves web site is intimating that Perks has a chance to make a stake for a permanent place as it is not really clear how long Mark Riss will be out for. At the moment, under the averages we can use Ellis, Starke and Perks, so that is not a bad choice, but maybe by the next set of averages the choice would be severely restricted, so perhaps that is the thinking in looking for a permanent signing.

Shadders Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 8-10 points, are you serious? Will be close to 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Depends if any of the Rye Wolves experts turn up. Otherwise 10-12 point victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Id go wider than that. 16 -20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 8-10 points, are you serious? Will be close to 20 I meant I would be happy with a 8-10 win, I'm not saying that's what it will be ! Our averages are too high already, I wouldn't want them to climb any higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Still in two minds whether to go or not. Removal men take our furniture and possessions from Hoddesdon Monday morning, before we tidy up, hand the keys over and take the long trip up to the North East corner of England. We could take a detour to Wolverhampton, but that would mean getting back at around 2.30-3am. Heart vs head Id go wider than that. 16 -20That's what I'm thinking Edited July 9, 2017 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Should be a decent meeting, Rye House have riders that go well at Monmore but dont think they will be able to compete with Wolves top riders. Wolves are favourites for the title and will be too strong on a good racetrack. Is Ellis Perks local to the area as he was standing in front of me last time i was there. I think he is a good improving young rider with a good future ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 This could be an absolute mauling. May end up being a busy night for Robbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Really looking forward to this, I hope it's better than the last last TV meeting from the horror track though. You're looking forward to a meeting from a horror track ? Illogical, perhaps you should take some lessons in English comprehension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 So I wonder if Barker will have recovered from his 'illness' that stopped him guesting for Panthers at Glasgow?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Stats do suggest that this is a walk in the park. But Rye have a team of Wolverhampton track specialist. It will hopefully be closer than people expect and it's never difficult having to watch Harris, Nicholls and Robbo at Monmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 While some actually enjoy horror, (which explains why he likes the horror track I suppose) I don't, but I always look for positives. That's why I'm hoping (against hope if I'm honest) for a great meeting and that we don't end up with a thread littered with negative comments about the horror track again, like the last time it was on TV.Being as your the only one repeatedly calls it a horror track then i suspect it wont be littered with references to it being a horror track except from you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Really looking forward to this, I hope it's better than the last last TV meeting from the horror track though. so according to you its a horror track but yet your looking forward to it? Kind of strange! do us all a favour and bore off with the horror track garbage, its not funny and shows you on a very strange light..........or someone who is clueless at least 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Nichols and Harris both good exponents of the Wolves track. Now Kenneth has gone they are definitely stronger. Could be close.... hope the racing is good and BT SPORTS are kept happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 It was last time Just a few (there were lots more!) of the comments the last time the horror track was on tv. Just to point out that none of the comments are from Belle Vue fans. Hoping we see a class (rather than crass) meeting tomorrow. Yep so am i, no reason why it shouldnt be as it is a good racetrack that usually produces good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundinfan Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Could be an interesting meeting for travelling Bees fans too with SIX ex Coventry riders on show for the rockets plus Rory for the Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Sadly I've never seen a good meeting from there (seen plenty in person and on TV and YouTube), the only 'good races' I've seen usually relies on someone wobbling off the inside. Fingers crossed for tomorrow, the forecast is perfect for speedway so no excuses. Well you need to go for an eye test I would respectfully suggest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
