Make your mind up. Either they haven't changed or there up. When I have visited they appear around the same as the previous two seasons ( not the Havelock sparse crowd era) Very healthy compared to Newcastle, Berwick and Edinburgh but with more youngsters attending than previous Thursday racing ( kids ) who get free entry.

HGould Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 5 hours ago, Hackett said: Ellis is a great shout for the Bears - former Eagle knows his way around Arlington. The hole Wood leaves at no.2 is huge - r/r the reserve pairing is not strong enough to cover his rides - his rides were worth 4+1 and most of those were gifted. Eagles will need to keep it within 8 points for any chance ... Wood useless away though big fat 0 last time he went to Redcar, Newman + Edwards (excellent there) can have 3 rides as R/R so could easily be 6 or 7 points away that Wood wouldn't have got. With Bowtell average so low not much scope for reserve Guests and quite possible Len won't let Gilkes ride in CL with NDL play off's looming and so many injuries to his Kent team including Gilkes, this season!

Or would it make no difference. Allen could cover for either. Looks like MPT must be OK after his injury on Monday as he is top scoring as a guest for Peterborough tonight with 8 from 3 rides so far. Hope he can do that for the Bears over the next 3 nights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSpeed Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Since he moved from reserve to no. 2, Wood has scored 0, 3, 1, 0, and 0 in away meetings. At home he's only ridden twice at 2, scoring 10+2 against Glasgow in the shield semi, and 5 against Redcar in the league. Arguably we're probably better off with R/R away, and given the circumstances of the Glasgow meeting I'm not convinced that it's representative of his ability at home.

That's okay you can follow more than 1 team I used to go to Edinburgh on a Friday then Berwick on a Saturday the bigger picture is you are a speedway supporter which is what need.

Yearbyred Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Bears obviously missed Charles - Allen gave it all he had but didn't get the points haul that Wright would have. Eastbourne were down a couple of riders too and that may affect them more tomorrow on their home track. Tense meeting where gating was at a premium but still a few good races. Lawson good and Kennett & Kerr blew hot and cold. Phillips will be more popular in Eastbourne than he is on Tyneside. For the Bears nice to see Jordan back to better form and Riss had 4 good gates out of 5. All the rest battled well. Should be a nail biter tomorrow.

Allen was working his socks off, but no-one was realistically replace Charles scoring around the MPA. A lot of close, fast racing but not a great deal of passing. Good to see Stewart back to his best. Lawson was again excellent for the Eagles, and Kennett started superbly. Kerr and Newman had their moments, and have to say probably best I have seen Phillips ride. Slightly disappointee in Edwards who has rode well here previously. Tie is on a knife edge - good go either way. I think Eastbourne must now be favourites but you never know! Good to see a good sized crowd again as well. Last note, great to read the programme notes from Jitendra about the recent fan survey. Four pages of notes going into some detail around issues around facilities/rules/fixtures/press coverage. Great to have some transparent communication. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlead Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Shout out to Tom Wooly who did a great job in ht 11, leading Kennet for almost a lap, giving Riss a chance to build up a lead. Not afraid to mix it, and can hold his own. As to the rest of the team, all battled well good to see Jordon back on form, but we badly missed Charles. Would have liked a few more points, I was hoping for 14, so it could be a close finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 2 hours ago, M.D said: 50-40. Game on.. Sure is. I always thought, Eastbournes top 4, would score well enough, around Redcar, to keep it close. Eastbourne must be favourites now, with their home advantage, (not much of that at Redcar). Should still be close though. I have always said, that race track, against trick track (sorry technical track), trick track wins, on aggregate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
