chun Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 he’s a bit raw and his gating is not up to scratch yet. no doubt the boy has potential but not ready for the premiership judging by his performance at glasgow. bit of a desperate gamble from the aces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Connor must be fixed up elsewhere otherwise I don't think they'd drop him. Leicester? Sheffield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's seen Tate ride knows how much potential he has and in fact, how good he already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBelle Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 very impressive watching him ride on BSN looking forward to seeing at NSS which is similar to worky who cares what nationality he is like some are posting supporters of all teams want to be winners connor rode well for us but that'a speedway it won't change swapping riders at any level if they are not performing i'm sure connor will be snapped up by someone !!

heathen52 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Another foreigner pushing an english rider out wonder what UKVI may have to say about it ?, these visas were supposedly issued if you cannot fill a vacancy, is it any wonder that UK Speedway is in such a mess. I can understand using heat leaders as the UK does not have sufficient riders of that calibre but here we are using foreigners when their are english riders of similar calibre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield can’t fit him in unless they swap him for Howarth which they’re not going to do. He fits at Leicester for Cook, or Oxford for Riss. Those are his only options really.

If our homegrown riders were good enough they’d have a team place, it’s as simple as that. Take your stupid brexit tunnel visioned glasses off.

Also, instead of slating an 18 year old why don’t you educate yourself and give him a chance before making assumptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your stupid brexit tunnel visioned glasses off. You only have to look at the British Youth Championship competitors from 10 to 15 years ago to see how poor the youth development has been in this country. Some people look to Lambert, Bewley & DJ Woffy riding in the GP's and will claim it to be a success. I wonder if there has ever been any analysis done as to why 90% of these competitors chose to give Speedway up after having gone to all the trouble of acquiring the setup to compete... let alone having the gonads to swing their leg over a motorbike with no brakes! Especially in a country whose leagues rely so very heavily on foreign and doubling up riders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And none of those three (or Adam Ellis) got the majority of their youth experience in the British Youth Championships (Germany, late starter, Australia, and French grasstrack respectively) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the amount of star quality riders who came from Grass Track back in the 80s and 90s the list goes on and on. Now we are in the situation where if you take away the British GP riders, Brennan Is the only young up and coming rider who looks like he might make the grade in the top flight league in Poland and the GPs. We keep being told we have a great prospects coming up through the youth scene yes Tom Brennan came through that system and young Flint has done well to qualify for SGP2, but he's still only a rising star in the top league, when he should be kicking on by now! The days of Doncaster, Cross, Tatum, Wigg, Havlock, Screen etc have long gone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper Rushen looked good but the other kid, William, looked phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
