Cradley v Mildenhall

Recommended Posts

I think this is the final most speedway fans were dreading but to play devils advocate, there are positives from this Cradley team. For supporters of Cradley, having a team, whether that be a league side or just in a competition, is better than having no team. Admittedly, the situation with riders is far from ideal with Drew Kemp and Jordan Jenkins having ridden for Cradley in the tournament. However, it should be noted that the Cradley side has provided more racing opportunities for a number of young riders such as Bickley, Hampshire, Edwards and the two previously mentioned. It's also good that Cradley have done well enough to annoy Mr Jolly!! I may watch most of my speedway at Mildenhall, but that man doesn't half talk rubbish. He would start an argument in an empty room, his constant attempts at winding people up are ridiculous and I wouldn't be surprised if he is the most disliked man involved in National League speedway. As a Promotor of a team he should be a lot more professional but unfortunately he never seems to learn his lesson. 

On to tomorrow night, can only see Cradley winning. Much will depend on which Max Clegg turns up but I'd expect Cradley to hold an 8-12 point lead on Sunday. If Cradley can take the same side to Mildenhall, the winner of the trophy is anyone's guess. Let's hope for two cracking meetings, with all riders staying safe.

Anyone with any sense will see this meeting as no more than a National League Select v Mildenhall, just another Challenge Meeting, All Speedway fans know Cradley are no nearer getting  a Stadium now that they were when they started at Wolves, This whole episode is a travesty to the once famous name of  Cradley,

I'm looking forward to it. Two top class teams for this level and hopefully there will be enough travelling Bog Moggies to create a bit of an atmosphere.

Whilst the situation itself is unsatisfactory with our team being 'borrowed' it has at least provided a way to retain the connection between the sport and over a thousand very committed fans. We would all have liked to have done a full season with a team of our own but that wasn't possible and at least this has kept the interest going and provided some valuable additional track time to some of the most talented youngsters in the country.

Good luck to them all tonight and here's hoping for a competitive and safe night's racing.

Heathens to win by 8.

'Ommer 'Em Cradley (Select)!
