szkocjasid 3,139 Posted December 24, 2023 “I have not had a call from anyone in the top league and that has angered me. I thought I showed enough when guesting last year but that will be Edinburgh’s gain as I am channelling all of that emotion into doing the best I can for the Blue and Gold. Can't say I agree with Paco's comment about being overlooked for the Prem, I can't see a single club that would be strengthened by his signing on a 4.00 average. But I think he's a good signing for Edinburgh. Could be a 6.5 rider next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Birmingham made a mistake not signing him, he’d be on a 3.53, is a fan fav there and rides Perry Barr like a championship heat leader so would be good for 5 or 6 at home most weeks alongside 3 or 4 away at most tracks I’d say 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was sure Birmingham would give him a call to double up and especially on that average. No denying that Paco is a real showman with an infectious enthusiasm which he is not shy to demonstrate. A PC celebration is a highly entertaining addition to a meeting which fans seem to lap up. Great team player too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
