Speedball Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Kyle hughes to share the spot maybe ? I know own he's been around a while , but riding for the young stars this season and no championship place ... Pretty certain it won't be Hughes for reasons that will soon become clear.

Shale Searcher Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Excellent news about Josh Bailey. This is what the lower Leagues are all about, bringing on the cream of young British talent and then giving them the chance when it occurs. Riding in three Leagues will be very hard work for Josh and his family, and I'm not really expecting him to pull up any trees in the Premiership, but experience is what it is all about and he can have no better example than team mate Robert Lambert riding along side him. He is going to be a very busy lad, but I'm sure he is like most riders of his age who relish the prospect as they just want to "ride their bike" Good luck Josh, you deserve it. Â This is how British Speedway should be... Â Rider 6 and 7 should be young Brits, no 6 should be the senior reserve, perhaps already established 8-10 pointer in NL or a 6-8 pointer young CL team member, and has ridden EL as fast tracker.. looking to move into the 1-5 in PL.. Â The no 7, a 6-8 pointer in NL, maybe a CL 2nd string 5-6 pointer, in his 1st season in the top flight, looking to become the senior reserve in a year or 2... Â No reserves should be foreign imports, unless dropping to reserve due to poor performance, and if they don't get back into the 1-5 within 3 green sheet issues, get rid.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Is Josh a Norfolk boy? (or at least local) Â Just wondering, because it seems Lynn are going back to when local riders were in the team, which I remember as good days. Â Yes he is. Comes from Norwich I believe. Has he retired again already? Â Don't think so but sure we'll find out soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had local riders in our team for years, just as we have kept continuity with the team for years too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
