False dawn Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Max Clegg's gate and 1st and 2nd bend in heat 11 was top drawer. His blast around the outside was straight out of the Bomber play book. It truly stunned the crowd and we all watched in real surprise as he put 4 faultless laps together in the 6th fastest time of the night. Kyle wasn't covering his back or holding up Bomber. In fact the three were quite spread out by the end of the race. I've had my own doubts about this signing. But credit, where credit is due. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ride & deserved the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPresley Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Max can be very good on his day. I've seen him beat some top riders around Brough Park. Consistency and away form are his problems, not his ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaten by Cole in heat 2, then pulls a corker in heat 11. Sort of did the same at Scunny. I recall a story (I think it was true) of Martin Rogers holding a toy gun to a rider's head as a way of motivating him to up his game on one occasion. It might have been Greg Szczpanik who was usually scoring 000 but on that occasion Martin's methods worked. So I wonder which method Stewart Dickson is using to get Cleggy motivated later in matches?

I was watching Max very closely on the BSN on Friday night because of all of the "discussion" around his inclusion in the team. What I did notice is that he made the gate in almost every race and was 1st or 2nd in the, what they call holeshot these days, but then soon got passed. If he had managed to maintain his "holeshot" position he would easily have scored double figures, so fair play to the lad. 5 minutes ago, Big Al said: So I wonder which method Stewart Dickson is using to get Cleggy motivated later in matches?

Totally agree Worrall won heat 9 in 63.13, Lawson won heat 10 in 62.81, Cleggy won heat 11 in 62.50. Whatever happened behind him?.........he was away & gone! Wonder if the machine examiner was kinda curious? Edited July 25, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a PE teacher (a long, long time ago) who "encouraged" us to climb over, jump across, run faster, etc. by promising to give some "TLC" to anyone lacking in effort and ability. This was followed by the brandishing of a large plimsoll shoe (these were the predecessors of trainers) with "TLC" written on the sole. I think he later became quite a prominent basketball coach, so it didn't do his career any harm, unfortuntely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the rider was Andrez Huszcza, and I think it happened when Leicester were struggling to beat Oxford in an inter league cup match in1980 or 81. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 The blackboard rubber often took flight during our history lessons aimed with locked on precision! For the youth of today the blackboard was the teacher's version of a laptop screen where chalk was used to write on it......hence the need of a blackboard rubber! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
