Really surprises me this. Any particular reason I’m missing why Brennan is seemingly not popular up Sheffield way?

Agree with this. A rider on the up and improving every season. What's not to want

Confuses me too, thought every clubs fans would want him?

Watched him as a junior at Eastbourne, had that broken leg which had a lot of complications, he lost his Mum from an early age, I Sponsored him in his early days and went through the Eastbourne times when he didn't get paid, like all riders, by Ian Jordan.

You could tell as a junior, he was a talent.

Too nice - they are used to having w@nkers at No1

Never been a particular fan of Tom Brennan.

But if had the chance to sign him, I would not say no.

I remember him doing a Guest booking at Owlerton and he did well.

In saying all that I think he will be at Ipswich next season.

[Cue Ball]

Just not a fan, personally think he is on the edge of being dirty - a less talented Pedersen. Sure he would do a decent job for us, but wouldn’t be on my list of candidates.

[Bagpuss]

Interesting take, I can honestly say that Tom Brennan has never reminded me of NP in the slightest. 

I like Brennan, I think he can get better.

[Cue Ball]

You may well be right. Just one of those riders that I’ve never taken to

A thought occured to me, with 2 GPs at Belle Vue once more in 2026, Glasgow looking at staging one in the future & available (to speedway stadia) in the UK not sufficient in size for one GP meeting: anyone know what is the capacity of Owlerton with the turns 2 & 3 / back straight terracing being open ?  Like I said, just a thought....

Wot, no other 'track anoraks' ?  Had it in mind the capacity could be circa 12,000, certainly waaay back in 1979 when Hull won the British League Div 1 4's (one seriously sweet day) there were 8 teams racing 2 semi finals, top 2 from each into the final.  3 full meetings witnessed by large crowd, those were he days....

Tom Brennan has to be one of the oddest dislikes in Speedway. Doesn't seem to have that horrid, big headed type arrogance the 2 Holder's carry around & the Sheffield lot loved them.

Very odd

Bizarre. I never thought I’d see the word Brennan and “dirty” in the same sentence either. If anything I’d say he’s the polar opposite! Far too nice and needs more aggression on track. 
 

All very strange and it’s not one or two posters either, seems to be all of them that post on here!

Sheffield for ya I suppose 😛

Maybe because he came through the Arlington 'school ', most oposing fans disliked Eastbourne in the day so perhaps maybe the usual speedway fan long memories and association?

Being an Eastie fan saw him from a tiny lad, tough but always a pleasant lad.

Strange comparison.Have never though he was a dirty rider.

[spin king]

I think some of the Sheffield fans who think that Brennan is a dirty rider are thinking back to his Guest appearance for Sheffield 2024.

Sheffield v Kings Lynn

Heat 10

Brennan dived under Kvech and kept taking Kvech out to the fence, who had to get off the throttle to avoid crashing out.

It was a naughty move that some may construe as dirty riding some say it was hard riding.

Interesting Brennan finished 2nd in the race and finished the night on a 4 ride paid maximum.

Have to say I can't see that myself but there you go. 

Of course Charles Wright possibly has a different view but Brennan comes across really well and gives his all, to my mind nothing to even compare with Perdersen (who fo course was going to be a Tiger in 2020!)

That happens a lot at Sheffield!

How can you dislike Tom Brennan.  Totally baffling

[spin king junior]

I do sort of understand why some wouldn't be keen on Brennan - he hasn't exactly got a stellar record round owlerton.

Other than that, I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to sign him. A rider that's improved year on year,  a real professional and speaks well for himself and in what could be a weakened league I think could be a real asset as hes proved he can defintely hold his own at heatleader- given the opportunity I'd love to see him have a season at Sheffield, however I fully suspect he'll be back at Ipswich.
