Bunce 347 Posted December 9, 2021 If the team are happy to be called "Dads Army" again for 2022, then surely Basso should have the nickname "Pike" due to his young age? Maybe I'll get the missus to knit him a scarf! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the age of most of the competitors in ALL teams now, I am not sure whether the average age of them all put together is now much different from that of the crowd's.... Take away the RS's and most teams are made up of riders who have been around a fair old time... Given so few riders represent so many clubs, "Dads Army" teams may become the norm, with the odd "Chelsea Pensioner" one thrown in now and again too!!..

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted December 9, 2021 I'm sure the riders will think of a nickname for us regarding Basso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But unless Crump or Iversen resurface anywhere they will still have the four oldest riders in the league by some margin. But you are right about the general ageing of teams.

BV66 34 Posted December 10, 2021 Scot, Bomber & Hans, in their prime were all a class above most of the modern day riders, and still are capable of more than just holding their own, so Peterborough should have another good year. Perhaps they may find it harder without the advantage of the flexibility of R/R or guest at No 1. Not having a go at Peterborough, but R/R or Guest facility for an injured rider, should be limited in time, not all season long, they should have to sign a new rider, but when the injured rider is fit again they can be brought back into the team.
