honestly cant see Pickering back at Lynn

He doesn’t fit at Ipswich or Leicester, won’t be at Northampton or Belle Vue so if he wants a Premiership ride it’s Lynn or nothing. 
 

Did he leave on bad terms last time he was there?

Not sure why Sheffield persist with Chris Holder he's past his best and Pickering is a way better rider or is Chris been in the team part of Jack's contract?

it was during the time Brady left and Chapman came back in if i remember correctly, i dont think it was the best of terms.

From memory he left before Brady did, think he broke his collarbone and his average dropped so they replaced him with the intention of bringing him back but it never happened and he went to Sheffield. Think he had had an aborted comeback before that (at reserve!) it was all a bit of a mess.

I'd be quite happy to have him back as he was great to watch but not really at number one.

He seems the type of character that would thrive at having the extra responsibility of being at 1. Douglas made that jump this year after Fricke left and I think Pickering could do the same. 
 

Love watching him.

Holder's come as a pair, Both or none at all.

Pickering had a fall with club owners at the start of the season over money and bridges have not been repaired during the  season.

When the sale of the club didn’t happen all riders were asked to take a pay cut which they agreed to apart from Pickering

However as it was so late in the day he was left with no option but ride for Sheffield unless he wanted to sit out the start of the season and as already without a Polish contract due to asking for too much money from Leszno after a good season the year before.
