To say it's 'time for him to deliver' when he did very well for his first season in 2021 is a bit harsh? Fans have to remember that the team has been built with a mixture of experience likes of jack Smith & Parkinson Blackburn at this level & the 2 brothers Harry & Sam & then there's ablitt who has decent experience at this level & toon boy Archie Freeman & young hodder .. not a bad side in my opinion & the boys must be excited to be riding the best track in the country .. so any doubters please realize what the boys are doing on track ( trying there best ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromtheback Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 GREAT TEAM I personally think Sam McGurk could be the secret weapon this season, let's remember this lad is still only 15 !!! and was sidelined early in the season with a broken femur. To come back after a major accident like that was amazing. I really believe Belle vue might have another Dan Bewley in the making if they can nurture the lad over the next couple of seasons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 More than pleased with the team. Last year produced good matches and entertaining meetings. I am hoping young Sam will make significant progress next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Signing Archie Freeman reminds me of another geordie who rode at Hyde road…. Mike Hiftle Mike could not get in the colts side and He rode for Glasgow in the top division…. He averaged around 5.5 which is good going in his first season in the top division He did ride for the Aces later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike H was alway a happy go lucky lad and daft enough to try anything, so I wasn't surprised at all that he became a speedway rider. Never heard anything about him for years, so not sure if he has left the area(North East). Edited January 23, 2022 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Saddened to hear that Jack Parkinson Blackburn has lost his equipment due to a fire where his workshop was. Hope he can sort everything out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he can sort everything out Seems Jack Parkinson-Blackburn had a self-contained workshop within one of the units that was completely gutted in this fire https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-60057425 He's lost both of his bikes and all of his tools and equipment.

If he can't. Don't know how it works do the higher league club have priority or do the colts have priority because friday is their regular race day and Poole ride Wednesdays.

But is the meeting purposely so early (1pm) so that Ablitt can do both meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was they need to get some one with more geographical knowledge,especially taking into account it is a Bank Holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
