There’s the 2 reserves possibly? I was wondering about Wood...know he lives local...and could have an IOW re-union (with Ben) at reserve?

Sings4Speedway 3,237 Posted November 19, 2019 Wood is very suspect unfortunately. Brilliantly talented on a bike but lack of funding and understanding on what engines need to do has held him back at anything above NL. If he gets a lot of assistance at Kent he could be a good option but how deep will the pockets be with two sides? Morley seems a no brainer but that doesn't always apply. How long has Steve Boxall got left on his ban? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StrangerKings 11 Posted November 19, 2019 So who is next? I think Morley is nailed on, he could bag us some vital points at home. Would like Gilkes to fill a reserve spot as well, he’s been great to watch and would get some great advice from Captain marvellous. Adam Ellis and Tom Bacon have been mentioned a few times of which I’d be happy with them signing, both ride Central Park well. Not sure how much we’d have left for the other two spots, but potential for another big hitter like Danny King. Exciting times ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseguy 214 Posted November 19, 2019 I'd take Kyle Howarth if he's free, not sure if he's got a club after moving up with Sheffield, would love Danny Ayres and Ben Morley back. Forget Boxall, maybe Simon Lambert again not seen if he has a club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted November 20, 2019 Wilson dean goes well at our place and is a likeable young man. Certainly wouldn't be disappointed with that. Think he would interact with the fans well. Dont know the person but not a big fan of heeps on track as seems to blow very hot and cold. If you get the world class heeps he would be near top of the averages, if you get the poorer Heeps he ll be heading to reserve. Not heard of Stella, so I d prefer a young brit. But I dare say we may have one or two unheard of Europeans to try build up an asset portfolio. If one takes off your on tona winner, think I am right to say that a non UK debutant would have an assessed average of 5.0??? which is a massive gamble in my opinion.

I agree, just going on THJ saying that he’s signed for someone in this league, I said the same thing about his average 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueherb777 571 Posted November 20, 2019 With the Thompson twins in the Leicester team....I wonder if Gilkes will be in the Kent team? Averaged 8 last year and improved big time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
