PotteringAround Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Though we knew it was happening, I'm still a bit surprised at the signing of Vinnie Foord. He's not local to Leicester by any means, and I'm not sure the tricky bends of Beaumont Park will suit his "style" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im yet to be convinced he has the skill set required to make a successful and safe rider but i hope to be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprises me that Leicester couldn't find a 3 pointer of at least equal standard closer to the Midlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I understand it was the opportunity to ride at the Leicester practice sessions that convinced Vinnie and his dad to join Leicester for 2022. With regards to other riders on that low average Leicester will have two 3point reserves to start the season and there really isn’t many more that are up to NL standard yet From the clubs point of view I do remember Stewart Dickson seeing him ride at Leicester for Kent and being very impressed with his raw talent and hopefully with some guidance can become more settled if not the Air Fence repair company are going to have a busy year from Leicester meetings also it has to be remembered if he is found to be out of his depth then Max James becomes an option in July Edited January 4, 2022 by flagrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1964 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Can Max James not ride for the cubs until his July birthday when he’ll be 16? It’d be a shame not to see him in a team in 2022. Would Dan Thompson want another year in the cubs or should he just push on in the Lions and as #8 with Sheffield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimsboy Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Will Foord become a full asset of Leicester? Was hoping he would be back at Eastbourne 2023 as a reserve as a eagle asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing personal against Dan - But it looks like he will be riding in all 3 leagues! This gives G.B. speedway no credibility & shows what a bunch of incompetent "persons" we have running our sport. With many riders riding for 2 different teams that is so negative P.R. as it is - But 3 different leagues, totally bonkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Dan (and others) are named as #8 for PL sides, they are not guaranteed any outings! So Dan (and others) are predominately going to be CL & NDL riders with the occasional PL outing. Are you saying that Dan (and others) should miss out on potentially 10+ confidence boosting NDL meetings in favour of a few (if any) PL meetings? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, It's you that needs to do the homework You've included a link to Leicester's signing of Max Perry (who is eligible to race for the Lion Cubs after his 15th birthday in April). This of course has no connection to the question asked on this thread about Max James' 15th birthday in July.

Max JAMES turns 15 early July on his birthday he become eligible for the Cubs & he will be brought into the team on his birthday . Max PERRY has signed for Cubs & turns 15 in April which indicates the cubs won’t start till after then. I think Stewart has put together a very good cubs side . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
