Could have said it before he had his arm twisted to take George and is now paying the price of only getting upto a 6.50 rider, and less clout in heats 13 and 15 again. Things never change on here the same people taking the same rubbish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing him the best of luck. Lee was one of my all time favourites despite not racing for the Diamonds and his all action style will be great to watch next season. He’s been away for a long time but he certainly has the natural ability to make a success of his return to speedway. Best of Luck Lee.

Jaizer Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Good to see Lee complin back, all out entertainer. Thought he was disappearing over the 4th bend fence at ashfield on several occasions but usually came out in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedthebaw Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Well you have your last rider, good grief ! Lee Complin !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Who'd have guessed that one!! Always loved watching Lee, brilliant entertainer, one of the best riders I've ever watched at this level of British speedway. Just hope it hasn't been too long for him and he can get plenty of practise in before the season starts. It's a very James Wright sounding signing. I can't wait to watch Lee again Only thing that worries me is that he was never a very good gater!! And Brough is a very specific track to be able to pass on, but he did used to have some big balls... What will his average be?

If that means me I would remind you I was alluding to what Rob DID say and that was confirmed by two other posters straightaway. Telling the truth on here is now becoming banned it would seem,. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Wonder if Rob's been quick to announce this signing with the friction on here lately I know he does read the forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brough Diamond Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Granty certainly seems to be prepared take risks that others wouldn’t. Hopefully it all comes off and the Diamonds can have a decent season. Cleggy, Wrighty and Paul Starke will continue on as before. BWD, Matty and Complin could be excellent but are coming back from injury and inactivity and George is a punt in the dark. If nothing else it will be interesting to find out the result?

If Lee can even get back to anywhere near the entertainer he used to be, he'll be a brilliant number 2 or number 4. Him and Max could ride either position then... Yeah, we not the strongest team in the league, but we have a team and for that I am grateful. We have so many entertaining riders, we may not win a lot, but we're never gonna give up 1.

Fromafar Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Lee was entertaining on big fast tracks in his prime,but making a comeback and picking a track like Newcastle seems a big gamble.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a rider I enjoyed watching before he retired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Blimey - I’m half expecting to see Brent Werner signing as a mid season signing! Good to see Complin back, was quality on his day on the big tracks! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
