SIM SPEEDWAY 2015/16 - ACADEMY LEAGUE -
The Chargers league campaign has come to a stutter as they were held at home to the Captial the London Jets. The opening four heats of the meeting were up and down with Jets and Chargers sharing the lead with 2-4s and 5-1s. TJ Imbert and Jamie Airey for the away side took the power to the home side with a fantastic 5-1 in heat 8 which saw both reserve riders Lennon and Dragger make errors whilst trying to team ride which let both riders through and the tables to turn. In heat 10 Neil Johnston and Wayne Douglas repayed the favor with a great ride from the gates to hold back the two Jets, showing the reserve guys how team riding should be done.
The Jets then saw they were in for taking home some bacon and steaded the scoring to 3-3s in the final 4 heats to take a well deserved draw back to the captial. The Chargers have struggled over the last few weeks since Ray France was injuired but he should be back for the highly anticipated away meeting at Rowley.
Manager Comments
'Not much to say really, we must win our home meetings but at the moment teams are coming her knowing they could get something from the fixture. That must change soon, we looked good early on but I think as other teams have improved we have stood still. Its not having a great effect on the crowds, we are not drawing more people through the turnstiles and maybe thats because the town wants to support a winning team. At the moment we just competing but the racing here at the All Saints has been fantastic some of the best Speedway you will see across the Sim World. I think its time we invested in the club a little and give the stadium the upgrades it needs so that more people will come through the door.'
'The next fixture is going to be brilliant, we have a little bit longer to get prepared for this one so hopefully we can go there and do some damage to the noisey neighbours but they are going well, just above us in the league but anything can happen on the night. We will be back to full strength, Ray has given himself a run out after the meeting tonight and he said he will be ready for next week.'
