Strange for the club not to announce the signings in the usual way via Social Media though?

Cradley have been caught out the same as King's Lynn with their Robert Lambert announcement.      They set up announcements for tomorrow expecting the Christmas post to cause delays with the Speedway Star, but there have been no delays and we've all got the Speedway Star today as normal, so the news is out a day earlier than they planned.

Cant both be on a 2.00 cus only allowed 2 in a team. Awful team, do well to finish off the bottom

Think Whitmore has a GSA of 2.19. Last seasons record was retired or excluded in a quarter of his races and managed to score points in just a third of them.

Not sure how many seasons Tom Spencer has been riding? 2/3? Certainly quick and brave enough, very likeable character and must get on well with the scrutineers :D. Probably as riders they are the polar opposites of each other but you do have one good signature.

Thanks, that makes sense

So who's the final Cradley signing...  :unsure:

Luke Harris. But leaves the team half a point under the limit making todays announcements a little strange.

Strong team though best top 3 in the league and if Harris signs probably the strongest number 4.

Clegg and Brennan are just as good as Morley and wood, if Halsey can fire like everyone knows he can same with Harris I don’t see any other top 4 equal to them

Agree although much depends on how much Halsey still wants to ride & deliver. Clegg still has a bit to prove but at Monmore is awesome, Harris & Brennan are still on the way up. Downside is the tail and if McGurk gets going early he will get stuck in the main team while Whitmore languishes at reserve (again).

Whitmore and Spencer are an uninspiring reserve duo once McGurk moves up. Looks like another Birmingham side with a strong top end but soon has nothing at reserve!

Perhaps Cradley are using the same approach as Leicester with Dugard? Plenty of not available's or bike not running properly so they can profit from others taking their rides.
