Mr Blobby Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Not every rider who starts out gets what Boughen has had from private lessons and track sessions to all new bikes and engines, which obviously helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually some of the better ones do, especially on the continent! Riss brothers had a track in their back garden, a lot of the Aussies have too. let’s not even talk about the golden boy Zmarzlik, I can’t imagine he’s had to actually buy a bike in his life.

szkocjasid Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I can't imagine who can fit him in, surely Oxford won't drop Killeen, or Glasgow drop Pijper? Plymouth aren't gonna drop Trigger. Berwick are almost finished so no point Boughen replacing Coles. Scunny must be happy with Ablitt, Redcar waiting for Mulford to get fit again, but seem content to use Harrison till he returns? Poole have be just signed Joe T & Hagon is doing well for Birmingham. Only club that makes sense to me is Edinburgh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I heard a few weeks back he was nailed on for Oxford, after I'd read on here he was going to Glasgow. Glasgow are well above the points limit, even signing Boughen to replace a reserve doesn't give them spare points to use to replace Nowak.

We will only be replacing Nowak so have up to his average to replace , no other changes planned from what I was told last night at Berwick.

Bagpuss Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Maybe it's Atkins? His scores have dried up recently. Would be incredibly harsh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly be interesting next season if both are included as some egos could take a bit of a battering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I've caught a couple of Cubs meeting this year and Ashton has impressed me as he appears in control. The racing brain will come in time. I hope wherever he ends up he take a more medium to long term view rather than take the best financial offer. Smart move signing for Leicester in the NDL as they can make their track available for their riders during the week and not everyone has this luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Eck Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Is it still the case that a club can sign a rider to be on their retained list without him needing to ride for them? I think that’s what Belle Vue did with James Pearson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
