mrss Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 It seems like a cheap option to have Campos again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubichair Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd rather see a 16 year old trying and improving then campos just being his usual self rubbish! Who's gonna be team manager then? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Campos had a practice at Peterborough recently so I was expecting him in the team. It makes sense though because there's no number 1s out there for KL to get at this late stage and at least he's a decent rider who goes well at the Norfolk Arena. It seemed too early for him to retire anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Looking at 2016 averages (with bonus points) don't know why people are so against Campos! S.CAMPOS 7.17 T.HAMPSHIRE 3.11 C.LOCKE 2.23 L.WHITMORE 1.57 A few more riders who would fit! Ashley Morris 9.77 Tim Webster 8.74 Joe Jacobs 8.63 James Shanes 8.53 Luke Crang 8.44 Oliver Greenwood 8.00 Liam Carr 7.71 Some may have retired but someone may be willing to ride!

teaboy279 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Would Shanes (no NL place), or Jacobs (no team at all) or indeed Sarjerant (no team place) not fit in place of Kyle? Very much like they have replaced a number one with a second string. Although winning is not everything for the young stars, as we see with the way both Bailey and Lambert are in the main team. The young stars is all about bringing on their own talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Winning things comes a distant second to developing riders for the first team for me, but the team needs to be reasonably competitive. That team is going to get soled away from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't think Scott had any intentions of riding!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnboy Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 The team needs a no1 and I'm sorry to say campos will never be that person, shame as they get all these sponsors but don't get a competitive team. People will not support a team that gets beaten home and away and also it will not help the youngsters in the team as it will knock there confidence. There are riders out there who are far better than campos but will want more more which is whati guess it all boils down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickyb Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think people on here are being very harsh on Scott Campos he is obviously only stepping in until they get someone else. He has done a great job for the team over the years, So give him a break 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Campos isn't a number 1 but he's never claimed to be a number 1. He shouldn't be expected to replicate the scoring that Hughes would've done because he's not at that standard, but he should be judged on his own recent abilities. He added a point to his average last season and did pretty well. Â Last season the Isle of Wight signed Chris Widman to replace their number 1. He clearly isn't a number 1, but that didn't mean that Widman was poor because he was judged on if he himself improved. Sometimes it's difficult to find riders who's averages 'fit'. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Will Josh be taking his part as he has dropped out of the Scunthorpe team this week and is due to ride next week for Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Can't speak for others, but I was not criticizing Campos just his inclusion. Have only ever heard good things about him as a person and apprantly he is very useful with setups and stuff. Also if no number 1 riders are available without further changes, then selecting Campos instead of putting one of the lower order riders out of work is the RIGHT thing imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Think Campos was made the team manager for the Young Stars in the Management shuffle last year. So I think he will have to replace himself whenever possible. also I don't know whether they can have a guest or R/R for a retired No 1 before the season starts.

You can't if the rider in question (Hughes) hasn't ridden in an official meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Luke said he was taking time out. Â Yes i to heard that Luke Chessell was taking a year out,apparently he planned to go to Australia, but thats not happening now, so maybe he still has bikes will travel ?.

arnieg Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 You can't if the rider in question (Hughes) hasn't ridden in an official meeting. However if Kyle could be persuaded to ride one meeting KLYS could then exploit the 'guest for any reason' rule that is specific to the NL. (There has been some discussion of this on the Buxton thread in connection with the signing of Ellis Perks). I'm a bit surprised that no alteration has been made to this rule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I believe its 'facility' for any reason e.g the dreaded RR. Unless its the number 1 missing, the missing rider is doubling up or there is more than one rider from the 2-5 then a guest is allowed? Either way had Kyle completed the first meeting the rule could have been exploited but i commend Kings Lynn for attempting to track a full team whatever the level of riders that are brought in as cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
