PotteringAround Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 You can now meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody at the NL Fours. That should get the crowd up. After the way it's been organised I'd have thought Mickey Mouse would have been a more appropriate character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotteringAround Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Is it true that for this ToyStory themed event Jason Pipe is going as Mr Potato Head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Bit concerned to see that the old Stoke track concerns were raised during the Plymouth match? There have been positive noises coming from Loomer Road recently. It was certainly brave to take on a meeting of this nature and there will be a riot if a decent crowd turns up and witnesses a poor meeting due to the infamous track.

Where were these Track concerns raised may I ask as no one came to me and said there was anything amiss there was a track grade when requested and as far as I know there was only One Rider that moaned and then complained about the Sun same Rider not having a good night no complaints about the Sun from any other Rider as it was behind the clouds within seconds so don`t know where you have heard these complaints,might have been a bit more shale on than usual but the track was there to be attacked.

I stopped going a few years ago because virtually everything about Stoke was an example as to how not to do it. I have been back a couple of times this season and the track is massively - and I mean massively - improved. They deserve this one and I only hope that no-one is put off by a past reputation.

Doners123 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 In regards to Chessell it was on Plymouth’s Facebook page as a 28 day injury cover for Stoneman. honestly think stokes to lose with the three heat leaders they have. Kent will be strong as well, I’ll go stoke first Kent second. Third and fourth between Mildenhall and Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Sorry to say but anyone signing Chessell is barmy. His injury is preventing him move on the bike properly and he looks like a uncomfortable amateur now, anyone continuing to track him is not just helping to tarnish his reputation further. Think Stoke have to start favourites but feel like Cradley could push them hard. The victor will be the team with fewest mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the comments were from the Plymouth corner so they weren't going to be that happy anyway plus a level of deflection from their own track woes. I genuinely hope that Stoke do lift some silverware as its been a long time coming as it shows what a fresh injection of energy can achieve.

BobC Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am presuming that this meeting will be run on 2 x 8 race semi finals, top 2 teams to the Final? The Final being over 12 races? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an afternoon meeting really. King's Lynn would have been ideal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
