Plenty of top end power and two improving reserves should do us nicely. Wish all the lads the best of luck for 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are happy with that Ghosty Heard many words about Stokes track last year and none of them were superb. I hope it can be rectified for next season as it would be a huge shame if a good side is assembled and let down by the craters in the surface.

teaboy279 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I believe some of the reports were more favourable towards the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness they couldn't get much worse. I don't enjoy bashing Stoke and in fact weirdly like the place if the track could just be consistent it would produce good racing and get more than a few spectators turning up each week.

I hope you are happy with that Ghosty I am encouraged with what you say, I also know Dave Tattum puts in 100% effort - but it does appear Stoke speedway could do with some money invested in the stadium by the stadium owners & the track & track equipment by ?????????? all lacking for years. I would love to see Conner Coles banging in the points on a great track & in front of good crowds in 2019! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildenhall said it was very good, Isle of Wight said dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dangerous that day but that was the last meeting before racing stopped for a few weeks to sort out the track. Reports after that were much better.

Terry the track took over towards the end of the season and the track was superb and riders actually saying how good it was, Terry will on e again but doing the track in 2019. I did say in my original comment the back end of the season in other words the last 3 meetings or so and yes the riders were commenting how good it was including young James Chattin who couldn’t believe the difference. So look at those meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Mr Vasey and better luck to Adam. Up the Potters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big lad Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 That’s good news ,about Vasey, never did anything at Stoke.When he arrived we were a mid second division team , due to his team management we end up bottom of the third division. Looks a good team and it will be all the better without Vasey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh I think Vasey did his best IMO under difficult conditions to say the least ,he had great passion for the sport and I hope he finds something else where . Has Tony Atkin finally retired from the sport as a rider he seemed to disappear half way through last season , if so I would like to wish him a happy retirement he has been a credit to the sport .

big lad Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Might have been his best, but it wasn’t any good. Look at his record , only way the club went was down , should have got rid after the first season when he cocked up and we had to drop down.

There's no room at the Belle Vue inn, Buxton aren't running, so Stoke is the most northerly of the Midlands clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
