Leicester for getting his signature or Sheffield for not doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 looking at the josh bate vid on the bspa site . he does not seem to be able to control his own body , never mind a speedway bike . i fear the worst for young josh and maybe its time to look for another sport less demanding . but wish him all the best on his comeback . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also so much more cleverer, he appears not to realise which night he’s riding on. Constantly refers to how great riding on a Sunday will be. Even though he’ll be riding on a Saturday evening for the Lions. Gawd ‘elp us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerforever Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Bit harsh, I’ve just watched the interview and it’s clear the guy asking the questions jumps from Sheffield to Leicester when asking him questions, no wonder he didn’t know which club he was referring too lol also many a rider can be more cleverer on a bike, just miss enterpretated his reply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode really well for us in the top league in 2017. Sure he will again next year. So long as he turns up at the right track, on the right night anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 He also spoke of his enthusiasm for boxing. I thought that had come to an end after his first round defeat by the pits wall at Leicester a couple of years ago? I don't think it will be dull with him around this season, as long as he gets that far without doing something daft....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're called the Darwin Awards, the annual compilation of people whose lives have been ended by committing completely stupid acts. There should be a new category, for people who have just suffered bad injuries in similar fashion. I'd have made the list in about 1968. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
