Maybe the new landlords will sort it out.

It was difficult to see who the r/r rides were taken by work everybody wearing team suits, you being so far away from the track and the numbers on the riders race jackets being so small

For Plymouth Danny King a , top replacement for Crump..Likewise Steve Worral for Heeps and top scored for Kent ..An exciting close encounter ,that could have gone either way at half time.. Scott Nichols consistent as normal as was Paul Starke,,like to see him win more races though to confirm him as a heat leader  ,,Reserve  Ben  Morley showed real aggression to earn his 11 paid 13 points ,, 3 wins in that total ,,which  earned him the rider of the night  award ..Young Dan Gilks would have  won another race if Hurry had not fallen at the back,,,,Dan then missed the gate in the re;run ,,Hurry showed dashes of pace but is falling too often on his own..i think there is a problem there,,,Cameron Heeps could be back next week and that will give us an idea of how strong the team is really going to be  at home,,,,If the racing is as good as yesterday you will not want to miss it next week,,,i cant wait !...........

Agree with Waco. I loved the racing on Tuesday. Right out of the top drawer. I note that a lot of Warriers on the link are talking about how strong the team needs to be.

They all have already completely forgot that at the very beginning, the management reported that this was to be regarded as a learning process for them and clearly

did not expect to win anything.  The early loss of Nico Covatti gave an immediate problem and with so few riders now on the scene, I, for one, did not expect the team to

be among the leaders.  So long as the racing is exciting......and it certainly is...I am happy.and we have a couple of the best youngsters in the UK who will only get better.

Also worth noting that the Kent promotion aren't complaining about losing money every meeting. That's because the team is built to a budget. Far better to finish bottom half of the table but still have a club the following season, then to win all the trophies and have to close. I am sure Workington fans would hand back those historic trophies to have weekly speedway again.

Any Kent fans help me?

Was planning on coming to Leicester meeting and got Tickets, having missed rained off fixture and got a few days booked in Tenterden.

Been told that Leicester on 22nd June and Poole on 29th June are now OFF and Kent website seems to show that but no explanation.

Kent Next match on website is KOC tie in early July. Can't see that being a big Crowd with a big deficit to make up.

Will we be offered a Refund or to move to another Fixture

Whats happening at Kent?

Well said, Teaboy, I completely agree.  Winning everything is nice, but if it puts the club in the Poor House, what is the good ? This year, I am very happy just to enjoy the racing

win or lose. Rider availability is much more difficult now that we are not in the EU, so any team needing a new rider will struggle unless exceedingly lucky.

Looking at current averages for the 1st June, if you take Tom Bacon (5.28), Paul Hurry (5.72) & the spare 1.94 for team building it totals 12.94.

Maybe the management could look at persuading Adam Ellis (8.00) & Gino Manzares (4.00) to come on board. 
Another option might be Bradley Wilson Dean ( seeing he is here for the GP Qualifier at Glasgow) by persuading him to stay over for the season & also looking if Ellis Perks has changed his mind to race this season. Not sure on what their current averages would be.

Adam Ellis has signed somewhere in the Championship so could well be Kent. But I can't see how he's got an 8 ave? Didn't start the season in championship so should be a conversion of his 6.49 premiership which is 9.74?

I can't think of any acceptable reason why you wouldn't be offered a refund if you contact the club and ask.

Im getting the sneaky suspicion with Kent marking the next two meetings as OFF, Eastbourne to make an announcement tomorrow that Speedway might go on hold until July. Sad as it sounds theres no point continuing to run if everyone is making losses.

I stand corrected, but I noticed that Adam Ellis’s final average in the Championship for Birmingham in 2019 was 8.00 & was under the impression that everyone’s average was based on their final average from the 2019 season.

Wouldn't surprise me if they just allowed that to happen tbh!
