Looking at the averages, Kyle moves from a reserve last season, to a heat leader next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle was in the original line-up having decided to let Steve Worrall go, but then Tom Brennan became available and it all changed - unfortunately affecting Anders and Kyle. Kyle will still have his testimonial at Wimborne Road though - probably one of the early meetings with Richard Lawson's scheduled for later in the season! PS. Is Sedgman the new number 1?

Honestly mate, I have no idea. What I do no is I don’t want Wilson dean I’m glad Kyle will have his testimonial at Wimborne road as I no the fans appreciate him and I hope he does a great job for us.

Devil 11 Posted December 15, 2023 Nico Covetti is the last signing according to the Herald Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbell1995 114 Posted December 15, 2023 Nico Covatti is confirmed as the No. 1. It’s clear from the comments on every signing that all was not well in the pits last season, too many personality’s but this year, Garry clearly has assembled a team who he thinks are going to graft and fight for every point. It might not have the team of names and stars like other teams but Plymouth won’t be push overs. Plenty of room for improvement on averages across the course of the season and us supporters, as long as we see the team fighting for everything on the track then that’s all we can ask for. Us Bar Bandits will be right behind the team once again making our voices heard at home and more importantly away. We can’t wait to get out and support the Gladiators in 2024 and good news, we’ve some new songs planned for you all to hear at your respective tracks ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torpointfanatic22 268 Posted December 15, 2023 So it's Covatti, Bowtell, Newman, D Thompson, Barker, J Thompson and Hook - Not the team I'd have thought we'd be putting together and I think we're going to struggle in a lot of heat 13s and 15s both home and away but hopefully, with a strong(ish) reserve pair we can make up for it in other heats. Lots of improvement from the non-heat leaders required! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
