Alex2000 266 Posted March 17, 2016 Well that is very bad. His luck never seems to change with Eastbourne kicking him out last time (albeit the right move) and now this. Hope he gets a third time lucky next year. Get well Brendan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted March 18, 2016 Nobody likes to hear news like that so close to the season. Not sure what happened but a big blow for Brendan and IOW. Fingers crossed the op is a success. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,065 Posted March 18, 2016 Awful luck for Brendan and my best wishes on a speedy recovery! I was sure he was going to be a great captain because he loves the club, so its unfortunate that I won't see him race this season Also he's said today that his op has been rescheduled for next week in Poole.
