OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 19, 2021 Quite surprised with the stick Ellis is getting to be honest, a great racer and usually in the thick of the points, has also stated he wants a return to Sheffield for 2022. I'd be very happy if he was back with us. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they will be disappointed as reading between the lines Adam wants to be back and the club want him back as well. And I would say that the vast majority of fans want him back at Sheffield. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Ellis had a good year for Sheffield, it will be difficult for him to up his average! That's the only reason not to bring him back, which is a fault of speedway - doing well so losing your team spot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on an starting average I would look for him to maintain or make a small improvement. The riders that tend to lose their place in teams are the 5 to 6 point men. Also if Ellis's chance of team spot in the Sheffield due to the improvement he made then the same could be said for Jack Holder. Both made similar improvements on their starting averages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also said one of the riders was wanting big money but not who you’d think it might be. Hope it’s not Josh Pickering because I would love to see him back.

Could be Josh, bearing in mind that he finished the season as third heatleader, and he maybe thinking that he deserves a pay increase. Or could be that interest may have been shown from other clubs who may have offered him big money. But Josh and other possible interested clubs need to be careful as Josh did not do a full season in the Premiership and may struggle to maintain or improve on that average. Kings Lynn are a club that I would imagine would show more than a passing interest in him. And as much as I love watching Josh and would love him back at the club I do think that their has to be a ceiling on riders pay rates at the club and if the money we are prepared to pay and his figure that he wants is wide of the mark then let him go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Musielak isn’t his replacement as I’d like to see them both along with Jack and Adam. That would be a strong top 4 with Howarth mountain and Nielsen at the bottom end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
