Yes, they're running. Would expect Danny Phillips, Tom Woolley, George Rothery, and the Millars to be back. Thought they'd also go for Archie Freeman, but he's at Belle Vue. Presume they'll need a big hitter to replace the retired Nathan Greaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Would be nice to see Willie Lawson in the Armadale side... Or else he's not gonna get a ride anywhere. Not sure if he's classed as a big hitter or not though, but it may allow for a little extra strength in depth. Both the Millars at reserve, George Rothery at 2 rather than 4 etc...

Lawson did some NDL meetings last year covering for Greaves after Greaves retired, but Lawson hasn't got a CL place this year, so would it be worth his while gearing up for just NDL? I can understand him doing some NDL last year because he was already set up to ride CL, but maybe not worth it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this happening, Unfortunately Lawson doesn't seem to have the equipment to get him through the championship league, but even after he was axed he was still there for the second half every week, he seems very passionate about speedway still, having him in the devils would be a very good advantage, plus he could still share his skills and experience with the younger aspiring riders. Will never forget how Lawson used to fly round Armadale in his prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I can see the Armadale side lining up exactly how it finished last season. It would be a team 2.5 points under the limit and means that Danny Phillips starts at number 1. I can only see RTD replacing Lewis Millar as any possible team strengthening and that would rock the boat a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't see Armadale replacing a 3.00 local rider for a 5.00 man who travels for home meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if he travels or is already going to be there anyways? Personally I think he is more likely to end up in a strong Oxford side but theres still an outside chance.

RTD may be in the team, but I think it would be alongside Rothery & the 2 Millars rather than replacing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never forget how Lawson used to fly round Armadale in his prime I signed Willie in 2002 to ride in my new Gems team, along with Jamie Robertson. He was a natural from the start, but we lost him that year with a broken leg, after being hit after falling by a following rider. His style was almost identical to David Bargh and later Kenny Larsen, going in hard with full lock on, and able to exit the 2nd and 4th bends wheels in line and power still on. But for his mechanic, and moving around the Northern teams, he would have been a top rider in the second league. Still looks the same, with the same boyish looks he had then.

PotteringAround Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Have Edinburgh forgotten that they have an NDL team? Danny Phillips, Tom Woolley and George Rothery haven't been signed anywhere else, so it seems a near certainly that they're back. Would expect the Millars back too, so why can't they name those 5? They need a heat leader, and Willie Lawson would fit the bill. Alternatively maybe Benji Compton? Either of those would leave room for a sub 5.00-pointer like Josh Embleton. What's taking so long? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise im expecting almost the same team as last year. Number 1 between Lawson or Mulford and potentially RTD for the final place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Mulford wanting to make a 800 mile roundtrip to a weekend track, when he could be cleaning up in the local weekend grasstrack meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite likely. Maybe Mulfords dalliance with speedway is over? Unless a midweek gap opens up during the year i can see him drifting away. Maybe he achieved as much as he was going to anyway.

Maybe not the right thread but is there any money to be made at grasstack at Mulfords level, or is it just the excitement/adrenaline, plus a chunk towards the costs ( or maybe fund it ) and be able to work during the week?
