2. L. Flint 5.05

3. C. Holder 6.84 or T. Musielak 6.63

4. A. Rowe 5.22

5. T. Brennan 7.05

6. K. Howarth 5.00

7. L. Harrison (RS)

Howarth is staying at Leicester 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think both Holder’s will still be at Sheffield tbh, with Picko Flint Rowe Harrison and one other

Expecting Jack Holder, Chris Holder, Tom Brennan, Leon Flint, Anders Rowe to be the top 5 for 2026. 

I very much doubt we'll be without Pickering next season, especially with his comments regarding if there was 1 league he'd pick Sheffield over Scunny

He might want Sheffield but do they want him with his wage demands? 🤷‍♂️

Slightly off topic but have you seen the video on polish tv of Pickering spitting his dummy out because he was taken out of a ride,it pretty much shows you why he doesn’t ride for leszno anymore

Yes I have, also he had said he is too good for the Polish National League where likes of Masters, Lawson, Ellis etc ride so he has backed himself into a corner over there hence the decision to ride again in the Championship, could be another who has had the proverbial smoke blown up his arse

Makes me wonder if the Bates Boys ever intended to depart from Speedway. Was it all a charade for drawing in some extra investment?

Seems like a lot of spin put on that statement, the actuality is more like they couldn't sell it, like many clubs before them. Doesn't bode well for Ippo.

Maybe the deadline for the declaration of intent to run its fast approaching?

The thing what a lot of people don’t get about polish speedway is you can’t have an off day or even a slightly off day, some clubs worse than others,Pickering would probably had a bollocking for not scoring enough points even though they took him out his ride, it is a different mentality over there than it is in England, over here clubs understand you are human and not everyday you’re at your best but over there you are a machine and if the machine is not a full production they not happy especially if they don’t win but in Poland one thing you don’t do is threaten not to come back next week

Bit like signing for Scunny and then saying I'm off if Sheff are in one league, Shotgun load, point at foot, pull trigger, repeat.

Pickering is entertaining both on and off the track. Need more characters like him. I remember him getting the elbows out with Antti Vuolas at Belle Vue. Got the atmosphere going
