Tsunami Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Anybody know what Adam's plans are, if any, are for 2020. Is he fit, intending to ride somewhere or part retired. Thought someone might have snapped him up earlier and wondered why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall his brief spell with Sheffield when he won loads of credit for his sheer guts and can-do attitude. Considering his seemingly endless run of bad luck I'd like to see him having some part to play in the sport. If he's fit and willing to go, someone should give him a place. If nothing else, he could have a role in team management. One of speedway's unsung heroes in my book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Would also depend on his average and reduction given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) There is a time when a rider should retire gracefully.... Adam has well past that point... apart from perhaps the old hand in the NL trophy in order to pass on his experience to the young guns Edited January 17, 2020 by Gunner85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 You have to admire Adam Roynon loads of guts and from what I know a totally nice bloke. Should retire gracefully , injuries prevented him achieving his potential. Thankfully he is still in one piece 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedthebaw Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I can’t believe anyone would want to see Adam Roynon back on a Speedway Bike, After every thing he has been through injury wise, I for one would be happy if he remained retired and and we will still have the memories of what a great entertainer ha was 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Did he actually retire or just not get a team spot because he got such a high average at Plymouth a couple of seasons ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Adam has to be the unluckiest rider around for getting injured, many a rider would have long since retired, and i sincerely hope he is not attempting a comeback. He is a really nice guy and im sure he could find a job managing in the NL if he wants to stay involved, also it would be good if he were to run some training schools and he can get his leg over on a bike to demonstrate any points he is trying to make..

Sidney the robin Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Adam was mechanicing for a Ipswich rider last season at the Abbey and he looked fit.He said he was waiting for the all clear and he wanted to ride again a real nice bloke good luck to him whatever he does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
