PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Makes a bit of a joke of the Interview in this week's Speedway Star (repeated in the Daily Star), doesn't it?! I'd have thought that having settled in Norwich he would be looking to do a deal at the Adrian Flux Arena?! NOT really. He says he hasn't anything fixed for 2016 other than that he won't ride for a Saturday night track... Edited September 24, 2015 by PHILIPRISING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted September 24, 2015 From what I have been told Jason has a deal with another club which is good but will not sign yet until he knows what is going on at Leicester as with all this talk of two midweek race nights this could change initial ideas that Jason has had. If Leicester remain in EL and change to midweek and doesn't decide to return to Wolves I wouldn't be surprised to see Tai at Leicester, He said that if more regular race night he will return and as WC financially it makes sense to maximise your earnings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only night that works for Leicester is a Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lefty 1,268 Posted September 24, 2015 Do Wolves fans want Lydia back? I don't . When he can ride Kirky Dump & the Arlington pear drop then I might be interested - then I Will consider him as a World Champion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted September 24, 2015 If it's one regular night racing then Tai might consider returning, but with Wolves. Do you really think Tai will come back if there is one race night in the UK? Perhaps I'm being too cynical in my old age but I reckon it's just used as an excuse by many of the absentees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps I'm being too cynical in my old age but I reckon it's just used as an excuse by many of the absentees. I don't. The riders have been saying it for many years. And let's face it less and less Want to ride here so there must be something in it. Tai is at the end of a long line before him that are saying the same thing. Sadly we are way behind other countries in giving the riders what they need. The option of not having the top boys who want to ride here anymore is almost unthinkable and the end of the UK having any future on the World scene. A scary thought.

justathought 374 Posted September 25, 2015 Club Statement The news story that appeared on the Daily Star’s website on Wednesday that Jason Doyle was possibly looking for a new team in 2016 initially caused a ripple within the club. The Australian Champion was quoted as saying that his thinking was based on a punishing travel schedule that sees him with little rest time between racing for the Lions on a Saturday night at the Jordan Road Surfacing Stadium and then fulfilling his commitment to his Polish club, Torun the next day. “I have noted Jason's concerns that he has about riding for a Saturday track and can appreciate what he is saying. Norrie and I will be outlining our plans for next season with Jason and hopefully together we can find ways to resolve the problem. Fans can be assured that we will do everything possible to ensure that Jason is at Leicester next year” said the Lions Promoter David Hemsley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justathought 374 Posted September 25, 2015 Doyle wont be at Leicester next year or any other year after that ...already signed a contract elsewhere ahhhh I see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted September 25, 2015 I doubt it. Providing Swindon come to the tapes next season I reckon they'll be in greater need of riders than Poole and he is their asset. I think Troy Batchelor is probably already on the unwanted list. by the way he rode in the semi's i think he may know it aswell. Do Wolves fans want Lydia back? I don't . When he can ride Kirky Dump & the Arlington pear drop then I might be interested - then I Will consider him as a World Champion... why would it make a difference how he rides arlington , you expecting to drop down to the NL are you ? btw it's an egg not a pear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of them , every single one of them who is currently riding here , In both Elite and Premier leagues , would gladly turn their backs ,for the big money in Poland , but until they can do that , they are happy enough to earn their living here .
