IainB Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Well done to Leon Flint fully deserved winner. Despite what some say we've got some great kids coming through (even Drew Kemp!) I just hope our shambolic league structure doesn't throttle their progress!

nw42 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Congrats to Leon, commiserations to Tom as it looked as though he was going to make a race of it until that happened. Saw most of the meeting but had to keep flipflopping between it and BTsports as the Norwegian Meat Shield was banging them in at the Etihad. Enjoyable evening of sport all round.

As they just said on commentary, despite a few of the original line up withdrawing, we have still seen some good racing from the youngsters which shows that its not just on eor two decent riders coming through either. Kids well down the points table still going out and really giving it their best shot in each heat too - good attitude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Also a big nod towards Tom Brennan. Obviously a very promising, talented young rider. I heard him interviewed after gueating for Berwick last year. Came across as a very level headed young man. Thanked the club for the opportunity etc. To keep progressing as he has, after all the things he has been through over the past couple of years, speaks volumes for his character. Now to crash on Monday, be told by the doctors to rest for a couple of weeks, then come back two night later. Says all you need to know about the toughness of a speedway rider. A different breed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to do a job , do it properly. Airbags are easy to change if you have the right people doing the job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Leon flint was a level above last night. Well done to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Very enjoyable. Flint was class above on the night. Brennan wasn't 100% but I agree seems to be over racing a bit. Best I've seen Connor Bailey ride very impressed and best I've seen of the twins away from Leicester. Of the younger brigade stand out was Ace Pijper, wow... Clearly destined for big things. Kemp seems to be battling himself at the moment and on a plateau. Well done Laurence and the staff, excellent track and well staged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Flint and Brennan look like they have the capabilities to go far.. D Thompson too if he moves away from Leicester and can adjust to that!! Ace Pijper looked decent and could be a success.. the rest look like they will make solid league riders but maybe no more than that but we need them as much as the next world star! Kemp and Edwards were the biggest disappointments last night but think Kemp is struggling for confidence and Edwards maybe burnout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is all that keeps you happy, I think that it could be arranged to open a bottle on your behalf every week and all of speedway troubles would disappear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
