Depends how we are defining good odds.what I mean is they will use Bailey.They won’t ditch him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone 943 Posted June 24, 2021 As CB posted on 11th June he was "Currently En Route", was wondering we have heard nothing more. Would have expected Tigers to have used him by now, or loaned him out, as he would certainly have attracted interest from other clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is in the country and putting a couple of bikes together and hopes to be racing soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that was scrapped when Peter left the scene many years ago, you should know better than anyone how Speedway rules are made up.Back Fag packet,with A4 sheet for changes when certain promotions feel like it.

He was actually in their 1-7 in 2019, so technically wasn't in the team the "previous" year! Edited June 27, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be their only Brit Craig Cook We had hoped to have had more Brits in the team and thought about Adam Ellis but he was born in France. We wondered if Mark Loram could be persuaded to make a comeback but he was born in Malta. Meanwhile we were keen to welcome back Connor Bailey as he was not only an up and coming rider but also a decent personable young man. He was signed for last year and was on the BSPL rising star list for 2021. Unfortunately he was prevented initially from returning to the UK due to the Covid pandemic. So alls well that ends well. Welcome back Connor. Edited June 28, 2021 by SharpenRake 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
