If Thorssell is a 4.50 then Jenkins has to be released imo....Even though I like the lad.
That's a ridiculous reduction for Jacob when his last GSA was 7.33.
Your prediction may become a fact tbh.
I don't think they can risk paying big money to a GP rider whilst not knowing how many fans will actually turn up to watch the product so I'm expecting them to be on par with the 2025 Spires.
Anyone find it frustrating that the Club didn't announce the other 4 signed riders?
Announcing the full 1-7 in one go doesn't make any sense because Edwards has already been confirmed.
That's what I'm sensing as well tbh.
I was confident in regards to the Team but after last night's statement about only 5 Riders being signed has me doubting the strength of the Team tbh.
You're probably right tbh.
As long as British Speedway doesn't have a TV deal then I fully expect Nicholls to be in the side as every Team will have to have a Rider on a low 5 ish GSA or high 4's.
It's very poor for the fans not to get a statement earlier in regards to the lease for the stadium being the hold up.
Should have had clarity on that a lot earlier.
Basically Mayfield will be confirmed as new owners within the next two weeks, Get the last 2 Riders signed in that period and in the takeover statement we'll also get the Team reveal.
Late February and it's all done and dusted.
Could Mayfield be involved in Northampton as well?
Waiting to release a statement in regards to both Clubs hence why this joke of a winter has dragged on and on?
I don't blame any fan who decides to walk away after this fiasco tbh.
I've tried to remain as positive as I could on the topic this winter but I can fully understand where the majority of fans are coming from.
He would struggle away, I agree.
Problem is, It's looking like every Club will have to have a Rider on a low 5's GSA and other than Nicholls, The only riders left below 5.50 are Craig Cook and Lewis Kerr.
Personally I'd like a tail end of Jeppesen, Jenkins and Edwards.
