teaboy279 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 This match has to be a massive doubt with the yellow level weather warnings for heavy rain, which personally for me is perfect as I will miss it if it's on, but actually it may be better for everyone if both sides were at full strength. Assuming it's on then there are lots of ifs and buts about the Cubs team. Is Perks fit, if so is he fully fit and who would be available to guest if not. Much depends on if the Thompsen twins take to the track instantly. For Kent Spooner Gilkes and Jenkins all out injured and with no real fixed date of return for all of them, Kent continue to do battle with a patched up side. RR operates for Jenkins and a tbc guest for Spooner I believe is the chosen option this week, and newly declared king Clouting continues in the reserve berth.

Mostly you would suspect unless someone steps in and offers Gilkes a mega bucks deal to jump ship?

Obviously had to be done as Clouting will inherit an average over 2.00 soon (his last 4 matches give him 2.28) if the same criteria applies as it did to Davies? Im just jesting that a team like Leicester could theoretically swoop in and lure Gilkes away with a similar deal and weekend race day....

Now that would raise a selection of questions, certainly about the strength of rider/club contracts, worth of the paper they are written on and the glove boxes they are stored in (sorry Laurence). A rider signs and is declared in that teams 1-7, if the team re-declares with the rider not within the 1-7 does that mean they have invalidated the "contract"? (obvious exception being clear 28 day injury replacements) if it is not the case and a club can remove a rider from their 1-7 but still have a say over where they ride then is that in the best interests of the sport?

Sidney the robin Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Will Gilkes be fit for the 23rd the Swindon match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I think if we had not related, Jacob Cloutings average was gonna go above 2 and we could nt use him. Dan was always likely to be a Kent man this year despite what others may think. He will be back when fit and not before. And that's the right thing for a lad with so much talent.

Most definitely so, I know of a couple of occasions this season we have had to change plans on potential guests because they were to expensive.

Sings4Speedway Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Bump this back up because its easier. Kents woes continue with Gilkes injured & Ablitt taking a break from the sport at a wise time for himself as his average would have doubled after tonight even with a zero score although that doesn't help Kents cause. Poor Jacob Clouting must be sat on the sidelines kicking himself. If i can read the greensheets properly the Thompson twins move into the 1-5 and its Ryan Mac & RTD at reserve for the Cubs? Even so this looks like being Kents toughest test of the year which is a nightmare as its clashing with the British final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be a difficult meeting for Kent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Gilkes now ruled out. This has to be an away win now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kent pull the win out the bag then definitely fair play to them but low reserves against 2nd strings running at reserve for the Cubs is going to be a slaughter. Sadly the lack of interest on here could be telling for attendances at this match and the Cradley one, big risk running against the British final unless you have too and for Kent when one of the most attractive visitors are on display also it looks a bit of a blooper.
