M.D Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Eastbourne have been poor away from Arlington so far this season so it should be an easy win for the steel men. However, Eastbourne's top end will do damage and Georgie Wood may be a trump card as a former tiger with a point to prove.. I will still go with a Sheffield win but with a few scares for Sheffield as they will need to work for the result.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingIvan Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 With R/R again for Broc and the way Kemp is racing for the Tigers, its like a 5 man team. Going for Tigers to win by 8+. Have seen Kemp race for Kent 4 times this year and no problems to talk about BUT at Sheffield he seems beaten before each race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Drew's lack of speed is very apparent around Owlerton .He's not the first to join the Tigers and then struggle with lack of engine power. 52-38 or 38-52 given how up and down the Tigers can be!

Great round small tracks and OK in NL but awfully slow on 2 spells at Owlerton. I think Bowtell could do a lot more damage than Wood but with Morley in side they carry one at every Away match. Seen Kennett is riding in France today as well so I'll go 55-35 and another big Away defeat for Eastbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Kemp is mentally fragile, technically good, but question marks remain about him and if he will fulfil his potential.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Could be another close meeting. We miss Broc as he was the form rider. With the current team it’s season over for me. No chance of an away win from remaining meetings so hopefully we can win the remaining home meetings and finish mid table Start again next season.

Charlieboy Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Drew is a good lad with plenty of potential but for me his equipment is not suited to Sheffield On better equipment he’d be fine His engines just arnt quick enough so he needs a word with his sponsors. Hope he bangs in the points tomorrow or we may struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great opportunity to get behind the lad and praise his achievement so far and to motivate his development going forward. Wow Speedway fans just don't see how lucky they are to be a part of someone's future success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did very well for Mildenhall last year but another season of just NL with a few guest bookings in the CL might have been a wiser move than going full time with the Tigers. Thought he was well in the action in the World U/21 on Friday.He is well above NL standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built a top heavy side to try to progress seems to me they have succeeded so far in that very well in first season back in higher league.

No vendetta whatsoever, its an open forum, i go there about 8 times a season if i think its going to be a tight meeting as my team ceased in 2008. My view will be echoed from many eastbourne fans imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't just jump straight in with Sheffield, he had a couple of months with Ipswich last season. Plus he is also riding for Kent in the NL this season. As for today... could go either way, Richard Lawson rides Owlerton well, Kennett has had good and bad meetings there, it might depend on the reserves.

Racin Jason 72 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Drew only rode a few meetings at reserve before being promoted into the team. As a result he has found it tougher. He is a top quality prospect and is going places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Good result good meeting and some good racing. All the team rode well today and glad to see drew amongst the points. Today should have give him some confidence back. Well done to all the riders for making an entertaining meeting . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
