With half the Kings not fully fit yet, and still missing Gilkes, IOW could spring a big surprise. I was told that Rowe looped his bike at the start on Friday, so him and Ledwith may well be in pain from back injuries. Looks like a close thing and I'm looking forward to it.

waco Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 If all the problems with the Kent team are true then maybe IOW have a chance Campos strengthens IOW, by about 2 points,,and if Widman can continue his revival ??? ,,then yes a pretty close meeting could be on the cards..Lets hope so,looking forward to it..

Sings4Speedway Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Big ask for the Warriors as Kent are edging closer to full strength. Rowe took a guest ride on Saturday so can't be feeling too bad and i suspect at Ledwith's years he is used to a few back pains. Mulford at reserve is a prospect if his machinery can run right and with no RR to cover for once the meeting might flow at a nice pace. As ever it feels like Wood & Morley will need to be well into double figures each to keep this competitive and for some reason that never seems to happen at Kent? Think IOW would be delighted with a point and will have to work hard to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Even more delighted with TWO!!! or is that three or four not sure,,maths not my strongest point Edited July 8, 2019 by waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Should the Warriors take 4 points tonight i suspect you will see Barry Bishop aboard a bike and doing doughnuts and celebrating in a way that would make Danny Ayres look restrained. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders rode for Plymouth at Stoke on Saturday and scored heavily so imagine is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Verge has stepped up to a genuine heat leader roll this year and is disappointed with scores he would of been happy with a year ago. Probably Warriors key man tonight.

It has been arranged so that the Ambulance is there by 6, I have been introducing the riders between 6.10-6.15, giving the jnrs 10 mins track time before 2 mins goes on at 18.28. There then seems to be an attitude of getting the 2 mins on as quick as pos too. So whilst always a constant threat hanging in the distance, the curfew has hardly been a worry during this season. Again I touch wood and hope I ve not drastically tempted fate here... Absolutely gutted to miss my first meeting of the season tonight.

In the National Trophy fixture (without checking i think he scored about paid 7) ,he was so far improved it was scary. He really attracted the dirt line and generated so much speed. But at the same time he still looks as safe as houses on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to poodle round the white line, now he really attacks the track. The move over there has done him the world of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
