SteelShoe Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Another great meeting today, well done to the Cheetahs who were competitive throughout and helped produce some top notch racing. 8 points down after heat 12 the Cheetahs responded by pulling 6 of those points back in the next two heats to take it to squeaky bum time and a last heat decider. Well done to Captain Cook for winning heat 15 and securing the two points. Hard to believe that the track looked on the dry side after all the rain we had on Wednesday and Thursday. Hope the Cheetahs fans who made the journey enjoyed the racing and safe journey home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs more teams than Poole, maybe darcy and tate thinks the track and the worky fans are better than Poole. To put it in football terms Poole are like man utd of speedway, but man utd are/were a big name club , but would you want a youngster to go to man utd now ?

Poole are still the team to beat though, so they're more like the Man City of Speedway. Worky are more the Man Utd trying to rekindle former glories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve seen what Steve Lawson has done for Bewley and working with him may turn him into a Bewley 2.0 (the kid is going to be world class no doubt), and that he has pretty much unlimited track access for practice etc has a lot to do with it, plus why wouldn’t you it’s a superb place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not surprised at the advice, I think he did 2 years? at KL before moving up. Chris Holder and Brady Kurtz also did 2 years before moving up as well if I remember correctly. Wonder which clubs approached him in Prem? If KL I would stay clear of them atm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same reasons he should have come to Leicester to get some PL experience, Stewart Dickson would have taken good care of him, unlimited track time and also a superb place () 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Prem clubs are interested, it won't be long til Poland want him in one of their top 2 leagues. So will be surprised if he is in the Champ for more than 2 seasons. Would make the most of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to think it's teams with underperforming reserves, Leicester or Sheffield. Lynn have Rowe and Woj and surely you wouldn't replace either of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcy only spent 1 season at King's Lynj, in the middle tier. 2009. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would be in place of Edwards as assuming Gilkes is RS? Not that it matters if he turned it down (or Darcy did!) Be interesting to know though.

Might have to go all the way back to Leigh Adams to find the next Aussie who did one season then stepped up to the top flight. If Zischke doesn't want to step up.thod year, can take guest bookings (visa allowing) ahead of next season, when I'm sure he'll be doubling up.

Possibly Lynn in place of MPT or Birmingham would've been after him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Great racing t Workington again. This track and Belle Vue have to be a blueprint for any new tracks that may be built in the future (**cough** Swindon) Heat 4 was a very strange decision by the ref. Sam McGurk clearly brought Luke Killeen off. You could see the bump when they collided and Sam was snaking afterwards. I can only think that the ref was watching Troy and Scott going at it hammer and tongs half a lap ahead at the time. Tate Zischke looks like he is going to be one hell of a rider. There's a future GP rider right there! (No pressure). They said on BSN that Celina was taken ill on her flight and is in hospital. Hope she is ok. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
