Crang on 3.61 is an embarrassment and should accept that its time to step away from Speedway, he's clearly better than that so the issues/effort runs deeper.

Just thought with mulford looking like he’s not got a prem RS position extra meetings with possible home track for ndl and champ could help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke had issues with his engines all year, he got sorted for last meetings had 1 at no1 for berwick and 1 at no7 for Workington and rode how he knows he can.

Fortythirtyeight Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 As Plymouth are saying Trigger has signed for the Bears it must be assumed he will also be in the NDL side ( the Cubs ? ) with possibly Mulford if he’s a Bear and not in a Premiership spot. so… Club assets are Freeman and Goldsbrough so pencil those in. Local riders are Phillips, Crang ,Kelly, , Lyden ,Rathbone, Embleton and Davidson. Could also add Bullets riders like Watson , Blair , Halder etc. so perm seven from that list. I have no idea about avareges so…. Id say… Mulford, Phillips Trigger, Freeman, Kelly, Lyden, with Goldsbrough or Davidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d keep them in as their experience would be invaluable for some of those untried newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to Luke he's been around long enough to have sorted engine issues before the end of the season, im not saying he wanted them but his issues were a big factor in Workington finishing lower than many predicted. A combo of any of the above all looks likely except for Davidson, you don't get the nickname Ed F'ell without being a wobbler (well meaning yes but still a wobbler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im all for encouragement but im also a realist. % points from 5 rides is a decent return and he did beat Senna Summers which is very credible. The other points were gifts or against a returning from injury Freeman (who couldn't beat an egg that night). Either way it rules Ed out of the Redcar side as he is destined to be at Belle Vue in '24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old adage of ‘ if you ain’t falling, you ain’t trying ‘ comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
