Smith as number 1? And Hodder in there possibly too. Maybe both the mcgurks back I’m not sure.

Wonder if Birmingham could sign a top top rider on a short term deal to start the season with? They’ve got previous with Adam Ellis, reading the thoughts of most on here they have the same riders and the team looks weak hopefully they can pull a rabbit out of the hat though.

I think it’s all up to date thanks everyone.

Also suffered a nasty injury pre season didn’t he? Ended up missing the start of the season. Done perfectly fine in my eyes for basically his first full season of racing in the championship and ndl.

Ah is he I didn’t know that, he’s finished with the under 21’s now hasn’t he? He looked really good when he first came over but disappointed a bit last season.

Kerr, Hume, Etheridge, Knudsen, Schlein, Hook, Hodder… just a guess but would people take that team? Fairly sure it fits.

Already done it thank you.

Danyon Hume is Berwick’s third signing.

Thanks thought he did.

Was Richard Lawson as well? Or am I just imagining this haha.

Bump.

I think magic is key to what this side will do, if he rides like we know he can then they will do well but if he’s as inconsistent as he was during his last season in the gps then Oxford could struggle.

Updated thanks everyone.

The guilty Worrall…. Sorry the innocent one.

Always have a strong reserve, and two decent heat leaders. KT might kick on after a pretty average season imo.

1,2,3,5?

Hook should still be a 4 I think and just didn’t use him due to him being let go mid season but you never know what might happen. Nielsen looks a good average if you can keep him fit but it’s a huge if.

Just throwing some names out there who haven’t really been mentioned to other clubs to be honest, I quite like Wright he was decent for Newcastle when we signed him and unlike paco doesn’t take 2 rides before he starts scoring.

Think that was before he got no offers from Poland lol.

Would any Edinburgh fans take this team? 1) Josh Pickering 8.63 2) Bastian Borke 4.00 3) Kye Thomson 6.48 4) James Wright 5.10 5) Erik Riss 7.35 6) Stefan Nielsen 3.75 7) Connor Coles 2.68 Comes in just under limit.

Hook’s average can’t drop below 4 as far as I’m aware. And where do you get that average for Clegg from? I’m sure he’s 4.21 or around that.

I don’t think anyone is belittling him but you need to look at the facts whether you or Mr Tolley agrees, they’ve been in the championship for 2 seasons and truthfully put out poor sides each season, on numerous occasions he’s came out and said crowds aren’t good enough. So he moves up a league higher rider costs but perhaps no increase in people through the turnstiles that is a huge risk for anyone to take. I don’t know if they are banking on attracting some wolves fans but if he is that’s a risky strategy imo and there’s only so much losing money someone can take.

I just put him there because he won't be at number 1 but personally I think he'll be fine he's only going to improve further. You look at perhaps Plymouth struggling to get heat leaders apart from Barker and Edinburgh could be stumped if Pickering does indeed move on with no Douglas, Basso and Worrall some teams could be lacking top end strength imo.

Just thought I'd set this up as no one seems to have started one, please feel free to add signings and averages as and when they happen thanks everyone!

Does Schlein get the 2.5% discount for “British” riders?
