Petecc 352 Posted June 23, 2022 This may be a silly question but why do Leicester bring In a guest from another club at home when they have a NDL team of their own? Looks like a slap in the face for a least one of those lads 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be because Connor Coles is riding at Berwick, as he has signed for the Scorpions to cover for Ryan Kinsley's long term injury. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,015 Posted June 23, 2022 Leicester binned Rowe off (or was it the other way around) on June the 2nd, Scunny signed Connor Coles on June the 8th, so it is a slap in the face for Connor Coles and the people that turn up to watch the Cubs under the misapprehension that it's a feeder system for the senior team. There was no Cubs team before the Thompson Twins and you begin to wonder if there'll be a Cubs after the Thompson Twins, they can't ride in that team forever (can they?) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the Thomson twins are only in the cubs cause they ain't getting regular riders in the prem this year. But it's almost funny watching them go round Leicester with times similar to nick Morris ! God knows what the cubs team will be next year if dan n Joe get prem spots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct it does, to develop young British talent like Max Perry this year and Max James next year (or even later this season). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Max Perry the lad from Peterborough? A Peterborough asset? Not sure who Max James is signed to? Maybe Leicester?

I don't know why we're developing other teams riders Because British speedway needs a supply of talented young riders, and few tracks have the capacity to provide significant track time to youngsters. A few weeks ago it was a real pleasure to see Ben Trigger riding against Leicester and witness his progress. It's good for the sport Edited June 23, 2022 by arnieg 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That will be a tough choice for young Max Perry then, Peterborough mascot but a Lion Cub, the decision might be made for him by the time he hits 16 anyway with the latest news about the Showground 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
