Petecc Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 This may be a silly question but why do Leicester bring In a guest from another club at home when they have a NDL team of their own? Looks like a slap in the face for a least one of those lads 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be because Connor Coles is riding at Berwick, as he has signed for the Scorpions to cover for Ryan Kinsley's long term injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Leicester binned Rowe off (or was it the other way around) on June the 2nd, Scunny signed Connor Coles on June the 8th, so it is a slap in the face for Connor Coles and the people that turn up to watch the Cubs under the misapprehension that it's a feeder system for the senior team. There was no Cubs team before the Thompson Twins and you begin to wonder if there'll be a Cubs after the Thompson Twins, they can't ride in that team forever (can they?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Thomson twins are only in the cubs cause they ain't getting regular riders in the prem this year. But it's almost funny watching them go round Leicester with times similar to nick Morris ! God knows what the cubs team will be next year if dan n Joe get prem spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct it does, to develop young British talent like Max Perry this year and Max James next year (or even later this season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Max Perry the lad from Peterborough? A Peterborough asset? Not sure who Max James is signed to? Maybe Leicester?

I don't know why we're developing other teams riders Because British speedway needs a supply of talented young riders, and few tracks have the capacity to provide significant track time to youngsters. A few weeks ago it was a real pleasure to see Ben Trigger riding against Leicester and witness his progress.

That will be a tough choice for young Max Perry then, Peterborough mascot but a Lion Cub, the decision might be made for him by the time he hits 16 anyway with the latest news about the Showground 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Coles may have been announced on 8th June but he had already agreed to sign for Scunthorpe on 2nd June. He guested vs Redcar because they couldn’t redeclare in time & he was then announced as a signing. The idea of NDL is to develop BRITISH young riders regardless of where the come from or wether they are connected to other clubs or not growing up. Leicester run NDL because they are one of the few that are able to , nobody from the club has ever said its a direct feeder for the Lions. Merely with the chance to develop one of them may become a Lion of the future. Say we put Tom Spencer in on Saturday . He fails to score & we lost 44-46 . Fans would be going mad asking why we didn’t get the best possible guest (Jason Edwards) to give us the best possible chance of winning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original question was why they don't use the NDL team as a direct feed the the championship. Thank you for your answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
