Mooose 19 Posted December 11, 2017 Well that is a shock. I guess we need to give everyone some time to work things out one way or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted December 11, 2017 All the best to Josh. Hope he can work things out positively whatever his final decision re speedway is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted December 11, 2017 Been troubled since i read this statement about Josh Bates. An all out action hero and Speedway is at a loss without him. Stay strong Josh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4thbender 382 Posted December 12, 2017 Strikes me the lad has had a fallout with his bird and gone off on a strop. We've all been there and know what it's like to feel broken-hearted and desolate. Give him time - he'll come round. Once the icy blast of winter turns into the thaw of spring he'll start to realize that stacking shelves in Lidl is no way for an all-action Barnsley lad to earn a living. He'll be back on the bike by March. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graz gp 184 Posted December 12, 2017 I hope Josh can sort his problems out and that is the most important thing. He need to be concentrating on riding the bike and not other things. There are a few months to the new season ,so hopefully it will be all sorted. The tigers management have said they will give him all the time he needs and fully support him. utt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king junior 394 Posted December 15, 2017 Think it's obvious we're playing the waiting game with Howarth. But question is, who's the other rider? If Edinburgh can have Andersson on a 5.20 then maybe we can go down a similar route? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graz gp 184 Posted December 15, 2017 Well Kyle has been quoted as saying he wants to ride for the tiger. So when a rider says something like that he usually get's his wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Article in Star yesterday on Charles Wright quoted him joining Bjerre, Kurtz and Smith - so I'm guessing Kurtz is all agreed, just not officially announced via Sheffield sources Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
