Sheffield will suit him more than Poole. Jensen could dip, he had a breakthrough year in the UK. Beyond that he was still pretty feeble in the Eliteserin when I saw it on TV. Haven't seen other two riders mentioned at all In top tier still more to come from Ellis (hopefully) &. Perks (certainly), I think. Swindon should make the playoffs. Injuries aside I would agree Sheffield will suit him better than Poole although he's had some pretty decent meetings at Poole over the years.

If Wolves are keen to avoid upsetting, or developing Nicol, presumably as they see him figuring in future years, isn't there a bit of a snag with that? I'm presuming that Nicol is an "asset" of Sheffield, and so in future seasons he could be included in their team, regardless of any "investment" Wolves have made in developing him. Unless Wolves have or are about to pay a transfer fee to Sheffield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that point if he is, has a 'deal' been done on fees with off setting Broc's loan fee against Pedersen's for this season I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what Sheffield think come the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be unpopular but he brings the people in. Chances are he will average more than any of our heat leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However sadly I think it will need several more coming back to save crowds dwindling gradually. I really hope the likes of Nicki coming back does encourage some stay always to come back however I think it’s a limited amount of people that will show an interest tho sadly. i really hope crowds are up to prove to the promoters that we need the bigger boys back to help bring more fans back to watching live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None, like Belle Vue, like Ipswich and Peterborough (quite likely). Doesnt mean to say they didn’t try. Either way we are still good enough for a top 4 place.
