I've heard so many rumours but think Sedgeman is pretty much nailed on to return. Not as sure as I was about Pickering but think Tom Brennan might be one to watch out for and possibly Bomber.

Even if he puts 1.5 on his "actual" 2022 average he'd still finish below his 4.00 starting figure! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Glasgow had gone up Brennan was nailed on I was told and may not be a dead option even now. Bomber wants a Midweek Track to optimise Weekend on Long/Grass Tracks, based where he now is and dislike of the Track puts him off Plymouth so toss up Brummies or Oxford. Sedgeman might go to Glasgow IF Tom was loaned out. Howarth , Starke are going elsewhere. Hadn't heard anything about Nick Morris but i can see the logic in it. Complin a strong possibility and possibly Paco coming back (even though Edinburgh still in League as ideal again midweek option). The other possibility if free would be Danny King.

Jaizer 2,864 Posted November 21, 2022 I think with Pearson look at his results in polish U24 league, seemed to score well in most meetings out there so definitely a quality rider in there. After a season learning British tracks wouldn't be shocked if he puts 3 points on his actual average, get to 5.5/6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine Glasgow would let Brennan go. Think Nick Morris has an average well above his ability, looks a quirk of the 10 match rolling aves rather than his true ability, as all his poor matches early season have been scrubbed from the stats! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When have I said "close to management". Fans / Supporters and some who work on match nights who have heard rumours and seen things like brennan when he guested for us at end of last season and was very happy to spend far more time than actual team members and chatted to those around him.

I gather that there's a vacancy for Minister of Propaganda in Moscow at present. Do well, and you get the bonus of a Dacha on the Black Sea coast...do badly and you get fired - attached to an artillery shell pointed at the Ukraine.

Some riders just are. When Stef was riding for Poole in 2021, one of his targets was to go a season without getting injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
