Moleman27 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Think alot teams have their teams complete as I know Eastbourne already do, its just they are taking abit more time too name their teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Decent side no arguing with that but i feel starting at number 4 will be a bit much for Kinsley. The other danger is that once Kemp is in the main body of the team his threat is nullified slightly by taking 4 rides rather than 7. The whole season for Mildenhall largely depends upon how Marson rides and how Bebee's return after injury goes which is quite a risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this team will be unstoppable at home but with such a young team and no Armo for the expirence will struggle away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 they couldn’t fit him in, on his Facebook page his wife said she’s confused how they didn’t on a 6. Something average. It is very strange as he’s the glue for them round Mildenhall. I think it’s bv for Armo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Win your home meetings, pick up the odd win away and you'll be in the playoffs. The team has been built to have a strong top 2 (something we've lacked at times) with improvements in the remaining. The league looks a little watered down with a few of the top riders moving up. I don't think I'm being too unrealistic by saying Bailey and Ayres could be 9 pointers. Jenkins an 8.Kemp a 6.Kinsley and Marson 4-5 and Bebee 3-4. So we could be looking at between 43 and 46 total average. Potentially anyway. A few teams will have question marks around certain riders. With Mildenhall the only team to announce their 7 we don't know what the rest will end up like. All I know is we should have a decent reserve all season and looking at the other 3 pointers around we should be fine. I like the fact the whole team will be based locally. Something that rarely happens and could mean a boost to the crowds with their family and friends showing an interest imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Any idea's why Midenhall are not defending the National Trophy? with one less League team I would have thought they would welcome the fixtures. Having all teams except the Colts would give much needed status to the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 With some of the best improving youngsters in the league i would expect this team to be there or there abouts at the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I will be looking forward to the Fen Tigers results in 2018, however I would like to see Robert Henry persuaded to stay on-board & oversee/advise the young team @ home meetings & Kevin Jolly likewise for away meetings. This in no way to undermine Phil? Kirk position as the team manager. It would be great & justified for success to come Mildenhalls way in 2018 & hats off to Kevin Jolly in supporting Jon Armstrong's testimonial meeting - how about a 4 team event representing Mildenhall, Ipswitch, Kings Lynn & Peterborough? picking the right date the most important thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Believe whilst no date is set, Armo s meeting will be the season opener. Already talk of kent getting a coach together to support the great man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 As far as I'm aware, Mildenhall open their home season on the 1st April, with the Armo Testimonial taking place on the 22 April at 2.00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiqueSteve Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Looks like the fans have got everything that they wanted: Rob Henry still helping the youngsters and Mildy will be defending the National Trophy....oh and concessions fixed at the same price, all looks promising this Season at West Row ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiqueSteve Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Gonna be a bit weird seeing Drew ride for Cradley as well as Mildy in the National Trophy competition, only this could happen in speedway ! just can't get my head round it....

Argos Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I can’t understand why Mildenhall have given Cradley permission to use Drew, there fans will not ne happy if he gets injured whilst riding for Cradley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 What about the fact he gains more expirence on other tracks keeping him race fit as well as he’s only old enough to ride one league at the moment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Its the National DEVELOPMENT League Thats what the set up has as its aim and is what should be the most important aspect If this gives Drew Kemp a chance to progress at a faster rate it is what needs to happen for the future of British Speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the league needs to stay credible for people to want to watch and Kemp and others riding for most teams in the league last season made fans disillusioned with this being a team sport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 It boils down to whether or not you want to see a Cradley team in action for a minor competition. Personally I am pleased that they are still in business even though not in the league proper. Of course they will have to use other people's riders as no rider is going to sign a contract for a club only doing 6 meetings at home. This has been done before ( Leicester) so it's nothing new.

So are you saying that you don't think that they can put a set of seven riders together that don't already ride for another team ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
