Sings4Speedway Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 thanks, just scrolled back to see , got a couple of points more than i thought. so if it's kelsey , and i have my doubts, there's 5.21 left. The problem is there aren't really and riders available near 5.21. Cottham on 4.70 or Terry-Daley on 4.55 are as near as you would get and would leave the team at least 0.5 under the limit. If you could tempt a rider out of retirement Sam Chapman 5.18, Mikey Neale 4.85 or Moggo Jnr on 4.94 changes the look of the side completely but the last 3 would be rusty.

Nathan Mole Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Moggo would be the most likely for me as Luke Harris and Ellis Perks where in the same Cradley team in 2015 so is who I expect most. So may have been helping Ellis or Luke last season Edited December 20, 2016 by Nathan Mole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Kelsey confirmed!? By the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex bulldog Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Kelsey Dugard is back with the Eastbourne IT First Eagles.He returns after a year way from Arlington riding on the Isle of Wight.Dugard was a member of the Eagles’ inaugural 2015 National League team but missed out on a team slot last year.Eagles’ team manager – and Kelsey’s older brother, Connor, – said: “. I'll be one of the first to admit I didn't think he was up to it at times. I have told him where he's at as opposed to where he thinks he's at.“In fairness I look at his average and it has gone down, however, the league was harder last year and he did ride at number 2 so that was fair enough and he didn't actually crash as much as he did in the previous year."We have a deal with Kelsey with regards to his fitness and bike maintenance which has been a major problem in the past. However, he has promised us that will change.“He really has to crack on this year and establish himself at this level as riders that started at the same time as him really have progressed massively in the past two seasons."Kelsey said: “"It's great to be back at Eastbourne. I understand what's expected of me this time around. I really enjoyed last year at the IoW with Base (Club number 1, Mark Baseby) and I want to enjoy it again. I look forward to seeing all the fans."Eastbourne have now announced Mark Baseby, Connor Coles, Georgie Wood, Tom Brennan, Charley Powell and Kelsey Dugard.The last signing is due to be announced at the end of this month by the IT First Eagles Management.

gazzac Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Whoever the last signing is along with Kelsey, pretty strong reserve pairing with a strong one to come down if Tom improves dramatically. As has been said, need to find another 'Brad' on an assessed 5, and that would be a really good team!! Was hopeful of someone like that a few day's ago!

TurnTwo Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 The rider needs to have British passport and will come in on a 3 'not a 5 so you can rule that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Mogridge junior on good equipment would be a solid bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Mole Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Mogridge junior on good equipment would be a solid bet Exactly, and he would get that with the help from the Dugards as Jake Knight did last season :-D Edited December 20, 2016 by Nathan Mole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 check out the crash that jake turner had at rosebank 3 yrs ago on you tube , he's lucky to be here at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I doubt it'll be someone over from NZ maybe an ex retired rider on an assessed average of 5 Paul hurry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Now we are down to one and with Kelsey in we know it will be around the 5 mark. On this forum we are struggling to find a suitable fit but they obviously have it sorted. A 'possible surprise' was stated so I hope we don't have to wait until New Years eve to open our Xmas Present. Glad to see Connor is taking his brother in hand. I have been enthusiastic about Kelsey since he was 11 or 12 and still believe he has great potential, We should see the benefit this coming season as he is maturing.

Alex2000 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I doubt it'll be someone over from NZ maybe an ex retired rider on an assessed average of 5 Paul hurry? will everyone give up with Paul hurry he's retired speedway rider who's done his bit with no need to ride the NL. He won't be in on a 5 as everyone wanted him at 1 last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Have you seen the man round iwade? He's unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Have you seen the man round iwade? He's unbelievable No debating that however given the injuries the man has had its amazing that he still has an arm attached. I for one am not sure i could watch a meeting with him involved as whilst he may be sublime out front a couple of nasty first corners could have terrible consequences.
