Leicester for getting his signature or Sheffield for not doing so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted November 26, 2018 looking at the josh bate vid on the bspa site . he does not seem to be able to control his own body , never mind a speedway bike . i fear the worst for young josh and maybe its time to look for another sport less demanding . but wish him all the best on his comeback . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s also so much more cleverer, he appears not to realise which night he’s riding on. Constantly refers to how great riding on a Sunday will be. Even though he’ll be riding on a Saturday evening for the Lions. Gawd ‘elp us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerforever 86 Posted November 26, 2018 Bit harsh, I’ve just watched the interview and it’s clear the guy asking the questions jumps from Sheffield to Leicester when asking him questions, no wonder he didn’t know which club he was referring too lol also many a rider can be more cleverer on a bike, just miss enterpretated his reply. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So long as he turns up at the right track, on the right night anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted November 27, 2018 He also spoke of his enthusiasm for boxing. I thought that had come to an end after his first round defeat by the pits wall at Leicester a couple of years ago? I don't think it will be dull with him around this season, as long as he gets that far without doing something daft....... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
