One over the eight


Recommended Posts

Scunthorpe just ruined the "we've got 9 riders over 8 and 9 teams so let's give them all 1 each".

Great signing for Scunthorpe fans though especially after ensuring a tough season last year

But is it a bad thing having a "spare" rider waiting in the wings? How often is a teams season over before its started because their number 1 bins it early or even before the season even starts.

It is if the one left without a team is potentially GBs most promising prospect 

Pickering should not be allowed to drop back down to the Championship if it means a Brit misses out on a place

I assume you're referring to Dan Thompson? Someone with inside knowledge of Edinburgh has already said in a couple of threads that he has signed for Edinburgh Monarchs for next year. Big step up as good average comes from riding at 3 for the last couple of seasons, however he was brilliant round Armadale for the Tigers last year so he should be fine.

Spot on but the principle stands

I see Dan has signed for Lodz in Extraliga 2 which adds some pressure to his travel arrangements
