Sings4Speedway Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Surprised this doesn't exist already. Interesting series of events around the Kent side this year. 3 riders announced and only one returning face. With Stoneman turning into a devil & Thomas signing at Saturday night Leicester it feels like the Kings could be unusually different this year? Suspect Hurry, Spooner & Edwards are 3 of the remaining 4 leaving a Hampshire sized hole although for the club i would be hoping Brooks (or for comedy value Powell) Edited December 7, 2018 by Sings4Speedway updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, apparently speedway is noisier on a Saturday than a Monday. The noise issue was overcome years ago so don't see the relevance. It's not a school night either. Lets hope Len has a good plan B to hit back with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen is still injured & is not likely to ride again. Hurry is frozen out of the team because of the rules & Armo would not be able to join the Kings for the same reason.

teaboy279 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Armo, Bowen, Hurry, Clifton all ruled out as only 1 rider who has obtained a 2nd tier average of 4 at some point in their career (even if that rider obtained that average 1/4 of a century ago when there was no third tier). With Monday's looking most likely now JT cones back into the frame. I d like to see Kemp Ablitt Spooner plus one other personally. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 One thing I am pretty sure of is that the failed planning will affect what the management had planned team building wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Imagine if Gilkes was signed on for Kent under the impression that he could only ride on weekends, as his family couldn’t do werk day fixtures due to work, how embarrassing would that be now if he had to leave 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Drew likely to do all 3 leagues I'd say it's unlikely he will be with you if you're running a Monday.With him riding for Sheffield and with Leicester having the same owner,I think there's a big chance he will be in their NL team tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Swap wood with another and I think you have your team very solid team if Ablitt goes there too maybe len not being loyal to his riders might finally pay off afternoon however many years of no trophies apart from the pairs in 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 THE NUCLEUS of kents side is already looking good,they do need a big hitter tho both home and away, im sure baseby will be at kent or the island tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Be pretty shocked if we sign any 2018 eagles after this year's hostilities. I know Richard Andrews was a rider on many fans lips towards the end of the season, with some all action points scoring performances against Kent at CP and as a guest at Buxton. also I hope we give serious consideration to Jamie Couzins who has been awfully loyal to the club other the years.
