Sounds like it is, would be a lot better if it was back up to Fricke. Hopefully he is more consistent for BV than he was for us. Though he was gradually improving in that area.
I still think it is quite clever team building by Swindon. I assume it is a lot easier to replace lower end riders if you need a change rather than HL's, with most top riders not interested. Plus you know pretty much what you are going to get from Batch and JD now.
The decision has been made, time to let it go! It doesn't have to be forever. If the season is more financially secure might be okay to move back at some point.
Well you never know, he almost signed for Poole either last year or the year before when they brought in the 1 over 8pt rider rule and they chose Brady!
KL take some beating with theirs though. Swindon and Sheffield give you 24 hours, Poole are giving 48 hours notice. But KL make you wait nearly a week!!
