B.V 72 1,054 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) So who is left for the Colts to sign close to a 5.96 average ? I am new to the National league so what do people think of this Colts team so far. Edited January 16, 2016 by B.V 72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 537 Posted January 16, 2016 I'd be happy with a young Brit who becomes another asset for Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted January 16, 2016 So who is left for the Colts to sign close to a 5.96 average ? I am new to the National league so what do people think of this Colts team so far. I guess would be Mikey Neale. You have as good a top 2 as anyone on their day imo. Shuttleworth has improved quite considerably since I saw him doing amateur racing a couple of years ago and had a great season last year, I think he'll sustain since improvement if not as notable as last year. Woolley might have stagnated a bit but maybe a change of track will help him, but he started last year better than he ever had. Whilst for the reserves I haven't seen Bewley so won't comment and Holt has been around a while now and improved minimally it makes sense to have someone who knows the club and has a bit of experience with a 16 year old. Overall a pretty good team that I can see top half, it remains to be seen what the home track advantage is like but the side has established NL riders who are also improving so they'll definitely pick up some points on the road. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 18, 2016 Glad Holt has got his place and fully deserves it. Don't know much about Bewley but from his Scunthorpe results he sounds a decent rider. Looks like Belle Vue could have one of the stronger reserve pairings in the league this season along with a brand new track aiding home advantage. This side looks like pressing for a play off place to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TMW 533 Posted January 29, 2016 Adam Lowe (5.62), if he's still riding? I think he's pretty much done now !!!! My money is on Neale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted February 3, 2016 2012 British grasstrack champion completes team He will be reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted February 3, 2016 Funny how 3 years ago nobody would touch a grasstracker and now they are flavour of the month! That said Andy is a good rider and good signing in proving ability over youth is more important. However if Holt doesn't now start at reserve I feel that Belle Vue might have missed a trick early on.

BILKO 38 Posted February 3, 2016 Good luck to him, but not one for the future starting NL at the age of 31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted February 3, 2016 Surely the NL must include an age restriction for Reserve riders in the future. Even John Louis was only 28 when he started out in speedway. Isn't the NL, the National 'Development' League? Also, doesn't that leave the Colts almost 3 points below the permitted maximum team aggregate declaration?

KIRKYLANE 537 Posted February 3, 2016 Good luck to him, but not one for the future starting NL at the age of 31 He has had ridden in the MDL for a while for Belle Vue and is a local lad....... Seem to remember Taffy Owen was hardly a spring chicken when he rode for the Colts in 68 ... he topped the Colt's score chart that year if I remember correctly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
