justathought 374 Posted June 10, 2022 The point is that it's a good thing gives away fans a chance to watch their team if they can't make it in person. Plus, it is actually 2022.The way people consume entertainment has changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Leicester they definitely would, the promotion seem to want to put minimum effort in for minimum reward 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connor Coles the Lion Cub looking to progress into the senior team who will already be there to ride in the 2nd half of a double header to save costs?

I'm a fan of Connor and consider him a prospect for the future. But tonight is a key fixture. Despite Leicester's recent form, they'd be mad to underestimate the Gladiators. Especially as they field Hans Andersen and guest, Scott Nicholls, both of who know their way around the Leicester track. There are no certainties in this game, but Jason has to be good choice. Jason will score nowt now and Connor will top score for the Cubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to do the lad down but i don't think he's going to "make it". For me, Connor and riders like him should not be riding in NDL teams but should be riding in the main body of CL teams as a good club journeyman, instead CL teams prefer to use PL riders. Connor is not one for the future... he's one for now. Edited June 11, 2022 by iainb 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 4,989 Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Just makes you wonder what the point of a Cubs team is? That we're being asked to support tonight. What is the point of the Cubs team? Edited June 11, 2022 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted June 11, 2022 Got nothing against Connor Coles nor Jason Edwards but isn't this another case of a completely bent sport and completely bent management committee. Coles was booked and named in a 1 to 7. He is also booked in his actual NDL 1 to 7 for the second match. If he's injured or ill and not available for either then fair play, book the best available rider. If Leicester have suddenly decided Coles is good enough for NDL who after all are going to thrash a mainly MSDL Plymouth Team, but not good enough for their CL team, although he seems to be good enough Scunthorpe then frankly it sucks. Be interesting to know which on duty Management Committee member approved the late change. The sport deserves independent oversight, not a tawdry cartel.

Paul Johnson 285 Posted June 11, 2022 At Scunny last night Conor blew an engine and told our scorpions tv commentator about "thats all he needed with a double header coming up," with him accepting a guest role he is within his rights to change his mind, No conspiracies, i quess the 2 discussed the situation and came up with Edwards and Conor stay for the cubs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
