spin king Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think that we need to be on our top form, and as it been pointed out Troy Batchelor needs to show more, if we are not then I think that Aces will come out on top. Clever move by the Sheffield management to get Anders Rowe in as a Guest for Josh Bates. Anders is still on the Rising Star list, the fact that Ipswich choose not to use him as a Rising Star is irrelevant, but you do have to question how well they thought out the Rising Star Scheme, to me it appears to have been cobbled together with very little thought. But what's new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders is on the Rising Star programme, so I would say that yes this could be done . Would be ruthless management, but very clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All anders will be bothered is more track time . The more laps you do on different tracks hopefully you lol get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Good close meeting. Some good racing 2 nd half of meeting especially Kyle howarth and Anders Rowe twice. Great to see Rowe and Brennan having a great tussle. We need to replace Sedgeman and Wright sooner rather than later. Bachelor 2 good rides 2 poor efforts Holder top class Ellis good meeting Belle vue deserved their point for their efforts. Thank you to Anders Rowe excellent effort from a guest.

The development of Anders has been a great highlight of the season btw The situation though belittles the sport and removes any credibility it may still have Speedway in Britain now is moving away from any true competition and bordering on the realms of WWE as 'sports entertainment ' The trouble is that much of the time the entertainment part is also missing...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
