The new Sheffield captain. No surprises for me Picko the man.

Have to agree regarding Jason. The rotator cuff injury is a serious injury, and in Jason's case it is the 2nd time he has suffered this injury. Ad the fact that he is now 39 makes his return back riding so well is even more impressive.

Very interesting comments on Adam Ellis and MJJ. Here is what I know. On Adam Ellis. Adam was at the Birmingham Press and Practise Day, but only for the press photo's as he was due to attend the Sheffield Press and Practice later that day. Was in common knowledge that Adam had signed a short term agreement? Well it would suggest not looking at the Birmingham Fans Forum. Under the section Rumour Mill and the title of the Adam Ellis. Fans ask the question is Adam on a short term agreement, as they have read on the BSF that he was. Of course history shows that Adam was on a short term contract, but nobody put those who were asking the question either fans that claimed to be in know or the Promotion. And if my memory is correct, Adam when the contract was up cop flack from Birmingham fans who accused him of walking out of the club. Again if my memory is correct this was only settled when Adam posted on his Facebook page that he had only signed a short term agreement and had honoured that contract the one person who could shed some light on this is Jonny Spud who I believe is Adam Dad, and occasionally posts on here. On MJJ Simply this someone has picked up an article from his Polish club that MJJ will only riding on a short term agreement until the Polish season kicks in. This is why a number of Birmingham fans are wanting to find out what is factually correct about MJJ. And it is the past history with Adam, that has lead to these questions been asked.

Surprise no one has mentioned Kelly Moran.

Yes there is;

It is difficult to predict where teams will finished when you don't know all of the teams full line ups. So going on the rumoured line ups and those that have fully announced. Top 4 (In no particular order) Belle Vue Ipswich Kings Lynn Sheffield 5th and 6th (in no particular order) Leicester Birmingham Wood Spoon Oxford

I think it is a wind up. I think the last rider will be Dan Gilkes and I think they are keeping people guessing.

So it looks as though Ipswich final rider will be Tom Brennan, and you have to think that with the team that they have built with Tom in the team are going to be the team to beat. With Doyle and Emil they have a very classy top two. Brennan as the third heatleader should be very useful. Adam Ellis if they can get him back to his 2021 form when he won his British title he could push Brennan for the third heatleader role. Danny King will prove to be a more than useful 2nd string. And the reserves are not too shabby. If we they can stay fit they should be classed as favourites for the title. I am impressed.

So with 5 riders announced it will be interesting to which combo they go with. Doyle/ Rew or Doyle/ Brennan Either way it looks like a very tidy team and 2025 could be their year. If they can get Adam Ellis back to where he was in the first season at Sheffield then they will be really flying.

No Away Averages Danny King 4:90 Adam Ellis 4:85 Keynan Rew 4:80 Dan Thompson 4:09 Jordan Jenkins 3:84 Only Jason Doyle and Emil Sayfutdinov averaged over 5 points in away matches.

I think you are bang on with the last comment. Getting in Tom Brennan is the key to Ipswich success next season. Taking out Doyle and Emil and the bonus points, none of the rest of the team averaged less than 5 points away from home. Okay against a lower team in the league but those who nearer the top you will always be vulnerable over two legs for the bonus point or a Play Off Semi Final/ Final. Tom Brennan is the key to Ipswich next season, or someone that can do a similar job.

Goodbye Kyle, And All The best for the future.

So what have you heard?

Both Lidsey and Cook have plenty of potential. They are both on similar averages and ability. Cook is on a higher average, so with no British reduction for both Lidsey would give you more points for the rest of the team, so you think the one to release would be Cook. So I think that Mark Lemon will release Cook, if it is between choosing on from these two.
