MrMungo Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm prepared to admit they I've probably overreacted a tad on this thread and I'm not really one for close-season bickering so I'm going to leave it at that I wouldn't say that. But I will say that I thought it was KKS on another one of his missions until I saw a semi-naked man as an avatar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allitt Racing Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) just to put the record sraight the lynn news are not quite correct. both jake and lewis have signed for clubs in the pl. At this current time neither have signed for the young stars. Edited December 2, 2012 by Allitt Racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Fair enough. Any reason why they haven't done yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 So I see in the Speedway Star that Jacobs is returning.Happy to see him back as he held the team together at times towards the end of last season.I'd be surprised if Halsey isn't back tbh. Â 1.Stefan Nielsen 2.Josh Bates 3.Dan Halsey 4.Aaron Baseby 5.Joe Jacobs 6.Nathan Stoneman 7.?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3065 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) How come no signings have been confirmed on either BSPA or Mildenhall websites?! Â Halsey a solid rider round Mildenhall, but the challenge for him is to prove he can be a heat-leader away from home. Â A solid side, but like any other successful side in Speedway, Mildenhall have had to let some good riders go and while they'll be tough to beat at West Row, it'll be interesting to see how they fare away from home.

bradtony Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Fair comments, read the disclaimer but a bit PC IMO as this is a discussion forum and don't see that any rider would be unsettled by us lot or choose our career advice. Â At NL level every penny whilst invaluable for youngsters & family is hopefully not the main driving force behind decisions, not aware that Mildy are splashing out mega money seems more rider development focused. I suspect that the likes of Josh & Nathan want to be at Mildy because of the opportunities to work with, and learn from, the many years of experience etc of the promotion which will hopefully give them an excellent grounding and launch them into long term successful careers in the sport. Â Interesting that Swindon were instrumental in moving Ritchings from Dudley, who did an excellent job for him, to a larger track to make him a more rounded rider which whilst unfortunate for Dudley has to be applauded for development and career planning.

Halsey has something to prove as a heat-leader on away tracks. Â Connor Coles must be fairly likely to ride for Kent I'd have thought. And obviously Kerr is at Leicester, which would clash at times. Â Still wondering why no website updates for a month and no Mildenhall signings confirmed on BSPA site, even though ML had announced six signings in the Cambridge News (albeit now Jacobs has moved on).

Bagpuss Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Leicester announced a couple of weeks back that Blackbird and Kerr would be sharing their number 7 spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Leicester announced a couple of weeks back that Blackbird and Kerr would be sharing their number 7 spot. Â That isn't quite what they said. They said at the LSSC Xmas bash " Blackbird is in the 1-7 and Leicester have requested a DU rule to be changed at the NL AGM for Kerr to be included in the Lions team so they can't confirm until then his inclusion". I'm not sure what that rule is but that came from co-promoter Alan Jones. Seems to be a bit odd for the NL to be stiffling progress with a DU rule that stops riders progressing.

Damon Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Does anyone else think its a little strange why we haven't officially named one rider yet? we sit alongside Kent (and they haven't built their track yet) so obviously they are going to be a bit behind the others. But not one has been listed on the bspa website or announced on the official website. I know I have mentioned this before, but it is puzzling? This is not a dig at the promotion as we all know what they achieved last year, which was excellent, so I would have thought we would have been a little quicker off the mark?
