xvcjk Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Great result tonight from the boys. Complin has been a great addition to the team, he’s great in the pits with the young lads and entertaining to watch. Embo and Kyren impressed me tonight, Josh was electric from the gates and had his best meeting of the season while young Kyren tried different lines and mixed it up. It’s been a tough season but fingers crossed we have a stadium for 2023 and can build upon this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sam McGurk got 0 from 5 guesting against Armadale earlier in the season. Their performance at Kent (again bar Ablitt and the reserves) was distinctly underwhelming. They should get the point they need but I wouldn't take it for granted. I did warn you (although I had been assuming Ablitt would turn up) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely true, although Richards case was that he told the club way in advance he couldn't attend, the club either didn't accept that or simply didn't bother to book a suitable guest and short changed the Armadale paying support. The problem with the with holding services rule is that the club has to lodge the complaint to gain use of a cover facility but Plymouth with so few riders available didn't want to risk alienating another one.

There is a significant difference between saying I can't ride beforehand (be it work, wedding, or holiday commitment) and accepting a booking and not turning up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew about work before yesterday afternoon and didn’t do anything about it though! Pretty shocking for that talented Belle Vue team to fail to make the play-offs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Harry losing his mojo had a big impact and unfortunate incidents hampered our efforts, though this can happen to most clubs. We were on the back foot when we lost to a Henry Atkins inspired Plymouth. Oxford and others met Plymouth with a 3 pointer in his place so victory was a breeze for them. Being made to ride that crucial fixture last night in those conditions just rubbed salt into the wounds. I’m told conditions were worse than the previously mentioned Plymouth meeting, incidentally my last ever away match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BV is the best gig in the NDL for any young rider, not the kind of bridge you burn if you're professional and sensible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone can have unlimited time off work. Young riders depend on families for so much.

Surely if he'd reached out to BV they could have arranged / would have arranged something. Understandable if team mates, most of whom don't have a CL income and opportunity like Ablitt, are rightly very upset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m told conditions were worse than the previously mentioned Plymouth meeting, incidentally my last ever away match. So Edinburgh make a massive effort to put on the meeting, so that Belle Vue get a fair crack of whip and their play-off fate is not decided by a rain off, and then you moan about the conditions? Conditions looked superb to me watching on the stream, considering the torrential rain earlier in the day. Track was the same for both sides, if anything a wet track tends to remove home track advantage. Well done Armadale for being easily the best team on the night - shame you can't acknowledge that. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
