. Do you mean as in he recommended him? As don't think there will ever be another Darcy.

Batch's average is lower than Barker's though?

But tbf press releases never say if they are on loan or been bought as an asset anymore. I assume he is on loan otherwise they would have made a big thing of being an asset last night? Although if our future is in any doubt then no point buying anyone for the time being imo.

If you want to read into absolutely anything esp on the socials then Michael West and Jacob Hook have 'liked' some of the Poole announcements so far this winter (Hook liking the Ben Cook announcement and Tom's last night) Might mean something, might mean absolutely nothing

If it doesn't won't be far off imo. Have to remember how much weaker the league is going to be next season. We seem to have the same discussion but with different riders each season FB! Brady Kurtz, Rory Schlein, Steve Worrall. Can't remember if you were one of the Poole fans unsure of Lawson coming in 2022 or not lol. Maybe I am just overly optimistic. But Rickardsson only scored 6 as an away rider before signing for Poole. So I'll wait til at least May before I start worrying about the team

Equipment wise he is having 8 bikes, so 2 in each league. Back in the day Bjarne Pedersen did 4 leagues at GPs! So it is doable just have to be very prepared and organised.

Oh good. I do love a shock signing Which no one has really had yet as everyone seems to be rumoured way in advance!

Both Tom and Leon slightly out of their comfort zone next season, so will be interesting to see how they do.

Different when you are riding it every week though. Give him a few weeks at beginning of season to settle in and be fine. I remember fans being worried about Lawson at beginning of 2022 lol.

Speaking about the move himself, Brennan added: "I was puzzled at the end of last season when I heard stories that I wouldn't be returning to the Championship. “I don't know how or where those rumours began but once it struck me that I had not received any offers for 2024 I decided to take matters into my own hands and dropped an email to the owner of the one club I really wanted to race for. “Matt (Ford) responded to the enquiry and said let's make it happen and so here I am, ready to ride for the Pirates and the challenges that will bring.” www.bournemouthecho.co.uk

Ah, okay. Thanks. Be interesting to see who they put at 3.

And Kyle as well I guess.

So glad I was scrolling through Instagram when they went live with their announcement and interview! Seems a bit of confusion about everyone saying Tom didn't want to do Championship? He always did. Maybe some crossed wires somewhere. Our gain anyway

He could be doing a Tony Rickardsson and riding for a club at a track he hasn't gone well at to improve as a rider?

Somewhere in Denmark?

We actually gave Leicester seven dates to complete it this season. So think you are looking at the wrong team for that! I didn't mean it as a critical opinion towards Oxford. Just that they have a lot of meetings to fit in and that is without factoring the British weather! So it would be easier for them if they didn't have the KOC to worry about.

I am talking about Poole line up! Also didn't you say you wanted both Kennedy's at Scunny? Is all I am going on.

Surely Redcar's top 2 are Wright and King?

I wouldn't have thought they would start announcing people unless they have full 1-7. It might be Declan Kennedy just to annoy @IronScorpion

Can't see what else it will be and also fits in with Tom Brennan's timeline. Unless they have managed to buy the stadium off the council??

Yeah, I could see that. Although I would be tempted to put Tom at 3 whilst he settles in and then possibly change it after that. (providing he is signing of course! )

Those races are hard for most riders. But he has been in fair few H15's home and away last season. So think he'll be fine. Although they might keep him at no3 anyway!

Will still need a meeting for set ups etc. Can Oxford even fit another KOC in!

It is a good team but it isn't great though imo. Also Magic, Tungate and Klindt haven't rode the new Oxford track yet. So you want to be visiting first!

Some Poole fans didn't want to go down, so sure those ones will be up for going to Oxford if they are able to travel.
