STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted November 6, 2021 5 minutes ago, Skidder1 said: It depends what they finally decide at the AGM re. Rising Stars and points limits?! I know what has been discussed but there is still the issue of how many teams will be running - and in which league?! I think there could be a new young Aussie (although 2022 may be too soon?) to go with the Cook Brothers. Following the article in Speedway Star I can't see Basso being allowed back as Denmark are planning a full Danish league fixture list in 2022 rather than the shortened version this season. Despite how much Basso has been a revelation and has clearly enjoyed himself over here, he won't want or be allowed to p!$$ off his Danish Federation. he could also be a target for this new POL U23 league. I am sure his exploits in UK would not have gone unnoticed by the POL scouts looking for new talent in this new league, similar to what we face with the young Brits.

lbw 869 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Wonder when Wilbur Hancock will be coming over to at least get sum 2nd half rides in. Hope Greg recommends his lad to ride for us in the future. Also, I'd like to see Ellis Perks come back to ride if not for the Pirates then for someone else because he's a tremendous talent. And wotever happened to Josh Auty after Scunny sacked him?

And wotever happened to Josh Auty after Scunny sacked him? Listening to Greg when interviewed on Speed Freaks, Wilbur has told Greg 'I'm not you, Dad' or words similar. Sounds like it's more for fun from what was said imo. Gino Manzares (or however it is spelt!) has had offers for UK, so should be back in 2022. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted November 7, 2021 Wonder if Basso will be a target for Glasgow, a Friday track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wee Eck 703 Posted November 7, 2021 25 minutes ago, Endeavour said: Wonder if Basso will be a target for Glasgow, a Friday track. You’ve heard the same rumour as me, then. Danish double at Glasgow. Maybe even a Danish triple. Poole won’t be able to use him because of the Wednesday Danish League, but that won’t stop non-Wednesday tracks from wanting him.

lisa-colette 6,024 Posted November 7, 2021 Do Denmark not ride Friday's as well any more? It used it be mainly Weds with a few Friday's thrown in. But maybe it clashed with Poland a bit and is now just Weds?! From a selfish POV I hope if he's not at Poole, he'll just do Prem as really do not want to see him riding against us! Especially after doing the heart sign at the crowd on Thursday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Did basso do 4home and 4away for Poole to have him as an asset if not he could become an asset elsewhere. Just checked i think he is a Poole asset so would be surprised if he signed for someone else tbh. Edited November 7, 2021 by lewy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
