At the end of the day Ben Cook has been riding in Poland all of five minutes and reached the required standard by learning his trade in the UK over several seasons.

Pretty sure if he wants to secure a good future in the sport he'll be "yes Mr Polish Man, what ever you say Mr Polish Man." It's just the way things are now, British Speedway no longer call the shots. If we want the big boys on our island, we'll have to continue ✊🏻💦 Mr Polish Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression he likes riding UK (as he doesn't agree with some Aussies going straight to Poland first) so be surprised if he dropped it imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Let's have some suggestions for a temp replacement ..... I'm wondering if the world ice racing champ also does ordinary speedway, he'd be handy lol Went to Tallington grasstrack yesterday and there's a youngster or two there who might do the crossover to speedway at some time. Ritchie Hawkins was there checking out the talent! It's a bigger comp today I see with Simon Lambert and a few more ex speedway boys competing. No youngsters though today.

Yep he would, whether he'd be what the club are looking for I don't know but the options are likely to be limited. Someone mentioned Basso but unless they get him in quickly he will be too high.

We do have a bit more to play with average wise next month,that's if the averages were correct on the Lynn website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKM91 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Lynn need to move quickly and acquire Joe Thompson’s services at rising star before it’s too late! Could be the difference between us finishing 4th or 5th 🤷🏻♂️ a bit cut-throat but it’s needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
