However, management don't fill me with confidence in proactivity The problem being though i suppose is letting riders down that have already said they will take the booking.But i would like to see better guests.

Unfortunately in speedway you need to be ruthless, just ask Robert Lambert - made a whole career out of it. Still no reason not to get a guest for TJ and if they struggle just replace them with Simon and Anders, which is what we will be doing with R/R anyway. Cheap night for Buster anyway without PP running so worth taking the risk on someone imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve already got 2 guests though (Worrall for NK and Mountain for Breum), we couldn’t have a guest for TJ aswell, 1 has to be R/R With NK’s average only being in the 6’s, the best guest we could have away at Sheffield is Richie Worrall and Mountain for Breum is also the best we could get. I’ve not really liked the guests in some of our other meetings (Kye Thomson for example) but tonight I don’t mind them at all.

foreverblue Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Vissing on his debut for Sheffield should score a few points against this lot then again maybe not! Edited August 31, 2023 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Did I hear Tai correctly in saying that one rider had declared that he was taking a week’s holiday (presumably Ellis) and another (presumably Kerr) walked out on Monday which forced the team changes? Some good racing tonight despite the scoreline Edited August 31, 2023 by Cue Ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has that nickname for a reason Not really he was winning heat 2 and had bike problems on last lap. Chris holder looked decent in a solid team performance. Let’s see how it goes next week when it will be more of a test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hadn’t spotted that Lewi had gone to Leicester - can’t be too much bad feeling to go to another Bates owned team. Presume it was part of the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 The 'Lamberts" aside KL not offered anything really - easy home win - give Holder his due that was a decent comeback to UK racing - there will be tougher tests for sure - Howarth and Pickering also impressive last night but again they will have tougher matches ahead!
