Sings4Speedway Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 32 minutes ago, arnieg said: Although with the exception of Ablitt and Hodder the Colts have pretty appalling away averages. 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. For a team 10+ points stronger than the Royals in the averages i thought the Colts visit to Kent was shocking. Kent tracked 5 riders with an average lower than Hodders. As covered Ablitt was decent, Freeman solid and unfortunate and Smith would have posted a better tally had the track not been swimming wet for the first couple of races. Even with both McGurks looking very disinterested they still left with an away point so seems hard to believe they cannot manage similar at Armadale (and in fairness if the Colts don't get at least a point they don't deserve the play off spot). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. If Edinburgh can confirm it is off early, Colts riders, management, sponsors and supporters can do something useful today and make new plans to travel tomorrow. Why travel and end up sleeping in vans or having to book into a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a no brainer to cancel today and plan for tomorrow.

jdc Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Rain due to clear by 2pm and dry thereafter. If the meeting does not go ahead today it will NOT take place tomorrow as we do not have the appropriate medical cover available. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 It will depend if Belle Vue back his story or not? Precedent has been set with a few riders being no shows this year and no action being taken. Unless Poole put in a protest to get him banned and use better guests for the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
