Joe Alcock would be the best option, but I've read he's not riding this year. Or how about?

Fozzie4388 679 Posted January 4 Few weeks ago I'm sure it said that they had sorted 6 riders out and they had 4. Something to play with for the last spot so I assume the 2nd reserve is a 3pter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam woods,Connor king, Kieran Douglas , Billy Budd , Sam Wolley, Alex Goldsbrough, Sheldon Davies, the list goes on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could easily add Woods, Woolley, king and Davies to the list of riders who have had multiple chances and done little with it. Be nice to see a Rookie like Budd or Goldsborough get a chance 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that's what this league is about let's help keiran improve get somebody on board with your connections could you not help him nice lad and always turns up with everything ready to go, averaged 4.18 in 2021 in a stronger league surely can improve in this year's back to basics league Edited January 5 by Binman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 11 Has Dicken been posting some blistering practice performances over the winter? I would have expected more ripples if he was. Otherwise im questioning the fanfare other than the old Stags link because previous track records at NDL and even MDL were never anything to get excited about.
