East End Fan Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 No, I am not saying that excepting for the fact that any rider with any ability will only wish to sign for a club that offers a complete season of racing. Cradley cannot do that. Also the rules allow Cradley to pick and choose ( not sure that I agree with that ) so, for example, they are offering team places to 3pointers who have proven ability way above 3 points. If they were a full league side, this would not be possible as they would be competing with all the other clubs for such riders. As it is, they can offer extra rides to them. Whatever, so far as I am concerned, if it keep Cradley in the game, then that cannot be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HagueyUK Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 DREW KEMP & gGANT RACING ENTER THE PORTAL Drew Kemp and gGant racing today announce the launch of their official online Media Channel and tie up with the speedway production and online media company Speedway Portal. Speaking of the tie up Drew said "It's great to work with someone like Andy at Speedway Portal. He does an awesome job and I can't wait to work with him even further in the future. With my first full season in national league coming up, the help and support that I get off of them really helps and I'm really appreciative of what they are doing for me and the team." Andy Hague from Speedway Portal said "I first met Drew and his team whilst attending the GB Young Lions training camp on the Isle Of Wight in 2017. It impressed me to not only see how Drew attacked and adapted to the track conditions, but also his enthusiasm and attention to learn and listen during the off track training day as well. He jumped at a request for an impromptu interview whilst we were filming at the Celebration Of Speedway event at Paradise Park, and from then on we kept an eye on his progress through the British Youth Championships and also followed closely his social media presence throughout the year. We had a chat whilst he was racing at Eastbourne towards the end of the season, which has now turned into this great opportunity not only for Drew, but for us also. With Drew starting his first full season in the National League at Mildenhall, it is the perfect time for us to work with him to add to his online presence with his Media Channel on the Portal, as well as assist him and the team in other areas and offer advice where appropriate." Drew joins a steadily increasing stable of riders including former world No.2 Krzysztof Kasprzak and Paul Starke with their Media Channels on Speedway Portal.

szkocjasid Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) It would have been better if Cradley used riders not in other teams, but it would be hard to sign a rider for 6 matches rather than a full season! Unless it was someone like Connor Mountain, who maybe decides he is happy to move up the Speedway ladder but happy to do half a dozen matches to give him a fuller schedule! For Mildenhall's point of view more track time for Jenkins & Kemp should help them improve. Might mean Mildenhall losing to Cradley in the trophy Final though, as they'd get good guests for the aforementioned duo!

You say that about the guests in the final but whatever average Drew and Jordan achieve, they have achieved it for a reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again i'm not knocking Cradley, but I just think they should be looking at unattached riders if they want to put a team in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have missed my point completely, I'm hardly likely to watch drew and Jordan ride for Cradley am I ?? I love watching them ride - Its just daft having them in the same compeition for different clubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Its clear that Cradley could have put a side together featuring a selection from Knight, Greenwood, Hunter , Bowtell, Boxall, Compton, Hazelden etc as it is they have gone for Dwyer as their sole unattached rider. As a non Cradley fan id be happy to see a selection from the above arrive and entertain but as a Cradley fan would they still have the same appeal? Its been much debated about the morality of the Cradley choices but if it keeps "them" on track so be it even if i think they will fall short yet again.

It's farcical.....but I think we have to see it for what it is ? The competition is a circus show.....but it's the only 'hope' and I use the term 'hope' very lightly, that Cradley have, of still existing!

cityrebel Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 The fen tigers certainly looked impressive on the island last night. A young exciting team that will only improve throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes, they've got some good riders in their group. Look forward to seeing one or two future stars (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Tougher tests to come for Mildenhall as most teams are thumping IOW at the moment but still very impressive. Like a few other teams Mildenhall will be hampered when star reserve Kemp moves up into the team but if Marson or Bebee can hit a run of form they will want some stopping. Wednesday will be a good marker of where teams are right now but for the season i would still give Brum the edge at present given they are more used to dealing with the pressure of play offs etc however a lot can happen before the end of the season.

gee jay Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 perhaps i give up to easy . but my jaw dropped when i saw the score , thought i.o.w might catch the fen tigers cold , well 4 of their riders anyway , wonder what the devil's riders and fans thought . as for weds , i can see myself sending for the dvd of that one.
