Here We Go Again!

Three days until Press and Practice Day. Well actually I should rephrase that three days until Speedway Star and Herts Mercury day as that's normally the only people who turn up! Anyway I thought it an appropriate stage for Where's Vesprini to leap back into life. I'm not one to carry things on over the winter and post plenty of idle speculation and as Uncle Len usually has his name ready to roll before the bubbly at the AGM has gone flat there's not much point. I've just been looking at the BSF predictions and it doesn't seem the boys in yellow and blue come out too well. According to them 9th is the best we can hope for but whilst I agree we could be stronger I'm actually quite optimistic about the next 9 months. Even the latest early season Nelson saga (thankfully only a visa this time) hasn't proved too much of a dampener. Mr Lanham is a more than adequate replacement and news that messrs Garrity and Bunyan could soon be full time Rockets is an unexpected bonus. Hopefully I'll be able to relay some stories from the inside and share a few laughs over the coming season. I was gobsmacked last season when a couple of people actually mentioned they'd read the blog posts which means I should really treat my ramblings more seriously in 2012. So onwards and upwards a sneak preview of my Speedway Star predictions or the annual unveiling of the blindfold and pin as I prefer to call it will have the Rockets in the play offs with a 6th placed finish. Obviously if you want the full table you'll have to wait for The Stars bumper addition. Well a guys got to make a living after all. Come on You Rockets ! Pete
