Heard at moment just doing Championship and Polish Ekstraliga 2, waiting then for a UK spot when the team changes merry go round starts in May/June time

Need to be on the look out for a replacement come May 🙈

Not saying Picko isn’t on a different trajectory to Holder snr but if he wants number 1 money without being number 1 know that won’t happen with Bates’ in charge, plus if the end of season fallout hasn’t been resolved then only one winner in that argument unfortunately.

Think the choice between Holder snr and Pickering will come down to who wants least £. Rumour last year was Pickering wanted same points money as Holder jnr don’t think he’s at that level yet. Also at Sheffield over the years they shove the reserves to the right of the pit area away from the heat leaders another end of the pits was only Howarth who pitted in that area near the reserves to give help. Let’s see if that changes as we all know Ingram will be out of his depth at least to start the season he could do with being in with the big boys to put an arm around him Personally I’d prefer both Holder snr and Pickering to move on and for the owners to try a new approach

Hopefully it’s someone with a bit more experience possibly Pijper or Hodder who both have a couple more years under their belt, Ingram been great around Scunthorpe but abysmal on his travels, don’t want to see another young rider disappear after being under pressure too early in his career

STAARS meeting scheduled for next Thursday 19th November, wonder if that will that coincide with a rider from main body of the team announcement for 2027

Kyle Howarth never said he had retired, just said he was taking a break from remainder of 2026 season and would see what happened at end of season if had any approaches from clubs in either league

Rasmus Pedersen the Dane

Have to be u21 to ride at reserve next season so rules Etheridge out

Everyone expecting Jack Holder back providing he proves his fitness over the winter, is it still but one Holder get one free? I don’t see the value in Chris’ average especially if he ends up at 5. Rumours of some new faces and some that have been there a few years exiting the scene. 1 J Holder 8.75 2 Brennan 5.76 3 C Holder 7.25 4 B Cook 6.62 5 6 7 Rising Star Points limits of anything between 37-40 been mentioned, initially was told it was 40 limit will see it’s been diluted. If it’s 40 then Sheffield have 11.62 for 2 riders, if it’s 37 then 8.62 for 2 riders Think they need a strong number 5 to back up J Holder, shame former Tiger Musielak going to Northampton as would have been a good option at number 5.

Think that sums up Pickering 100%

Heard it was now going to be in January. Hopefully delay is due to ironing out a TV deal

Bomber and Rowe nailed on for Kings Lynn so that’s the numbers 2 and 3 in team sorted, need a big hitter though to replace Leicester bound Fricke, tried the solid 1-6 before that didn’t end up being the right way to go, just not sure who is going to be the number 1 for the Stars this coming season

So if the jungle drums are right and Doyle and Bewley both end up as Ipswich’s number 1 and 5, who is going to come in at Belle Vue as number 5 to be backing up Brady Kurtz? What about Josh Pickering moving over the hill from Sheffield? Would fit Mark Lemon’s MO as an Aussie rider and could see him easily coming to grips with NSS as a home track

Parnitskyi would come in on a 7.50 have to be a GP rider for 2 consecutive seasons which he hasn’t, next bracket is 7.50 for Ekstraliga riders with 6+ average
