crescent girl 1,905 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) As John Campbell has been a promoter for an unbroken run of 35 seasons and was a trophy-winning third-tier promoter at Linlithgow and Armadale as well as settingup all the Monarchs' many successes, l'd be backing him to send out a useful - - albeit young and at first inexperienced - - team of Devils. Without breaking any banks. Edited January 21, 2020 by crescent girl 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First 'graduate' of the Duns Academy, did well at Armadale in the junior championship event at the end of last season. Almost exactly the kind of young Northern-based rider John Campbell was describing when he set out the Devils' stall.

Being in sight of the English Channel, I have not heard to him..but from what you say, perfect for the NDL. Good luck to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 23, 2020 Must be more to Watson than his record suggests? From the only stats i can find this season he did 2 x NJL matches (6 rides) and scored 1 point. Granted i don't know who the opposition were for those matches but its hardly a record that sets the world alight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like it’s another rider who’s getting on because of his motocross background rather than instant ability on a speedway bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell however its a long drive back from places like IOW if he has spent the evening being way off the pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did 6 meetings in the NJL last year. 7 from 3 and 6 from 2 were his results at the Dale in the 2 NJL meetings he did there, but the 6 from 2 isn't quite as impressive as it may sound. He was the only finisher in each race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be good when the Devils' next signing is announced, maybe removing some of this intense scrutiny from their (l presume) #7..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted January 24, 2020 With Flint & MacDonald joining Newcastle, that makes it even less clear who is going to ride for the Devils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume they can ride for Newcastle & Armadale as they are in different competitions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
