Not a hard decision a very well prepared track and as much Slivovice as I want. HAPPY DAYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Leon Flint has to be your number 7, what a nice story that would be, partner him with someone like David Howe and he'll learn loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great for me to see him ride on a regular basis, would be great for the club and his sponsors who have supported him so far. Would it be good for Leons career, probably not, so I look at the bigger picture, Leon needs to be going to where he can advance the most, I feel that is elsewhere. Leon is intelligent enough to make his own decision, and at the end of the day it is what he wants, and I hope no individual is placing any pressure on him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both fair comments, but BP is right, it's up to Leon at the end of the day and he's intelligent enough to decide on his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I can't see why Berwick wouldn't be the best option for him on the next step of his career. He would get all the support he needed from local fans, he would be popular, Berwick have shown in the past they stick by their riders, he would have plenty of local sponsors. If he (hopefully) progresses further, then he moves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a tough season scoring wise for Kyle Bickley, but credit to him, the club and the fans for sticking to it. I suppose it helps when the rest of the team are scoring enough points to still win, had Workington been struggling, would the same scenario be true? But riding for your home town team certainly gains you a bit more leeway with fans etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is he will sign for a senior team in the Premiership possibly then be loaned out to a Championship club, that club may be Berwick, who knows. My gut feeling although he has come on leaps and bounds this season, another year at National League level is needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, would love the opportunity to watch Leon race regularly, if his progression in the sport is elsewhere to the benefit of his career, then I am happy whatever his decision. He is it a stage where sentiment is launched right out of the window. He owes Berwick speedway nothing, most of his progression has been elsewhere, and with the support of Big Tony is all of his own doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
