He was my hero that first season. Gate like lightning and spend the next three laps getting slower and slower. Only question was could anybody find a way to get past him on that track!

But my initial thoughts are we are building a strong and entertaining team. Certainly going to be entertaining watching him trying to get round Leicester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did ok on visits in the old PL days, before the track was altered, just looked and sounded like he was on a lawnmower engine! With the points left, they could probably fit in Wajtknecht, Sarjeant and Jack Thomas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenny Lion 138 Posted November 29, 2018 Not wanting to be negative but after the positive start to team building i am now fearful for the side we are building. It is a HUGE risk signing Josh Bates after the injuries he has had. Then to sign Ryan Douglas who has always struggled at BP & not ridden for a year . Both are going need time to settle into the swing of things but in speedway you don’t get that time the club will need instant results if they are serious about challanging for silverware Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,187 Posted November 29, 2018 Pretty sure josh has had a few practices around BP and ryan has been racing back home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to bet they will be called the Cubs as that makes sense really being as the 1st team are the Lions. Mind you this is Speedway so who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
