I have no clue as too how the team will look but I would guess Tom and Connor are nailed on and built around those two. I hope you are right but a bit worried that Tom won't fancy the travelling and that Connor and his family might want to move south to progress his career.

Easier and cheaper to fly up from the south these days, £24 each way from Luton !! have a bike and local mechanic for home matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I read Tom lives in Midlands so not as much travelling as I'd thought initially, think Connor and his family pretty settled in Glasgow. Probably needs a year of championship and NDL in 2022 then can look for a RS place in premiership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost anyone can ride, or quickly learn to ride the big tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that should be a joint venture personally, would benefit both clubs if could bring through some some local riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there, will be a couple of years before we see the rewards from it but can already see the progress the young lads made this year. Although I think the club will want the Devils number 1 at reserve for the Monarchs, that was the reason Sarjaent was dropped for Nathan this season as James didn’t want to do NDL.

Makes a lot of sense from Edinburgh's perspective, plus doubt want to give Glasgow advantage of having Connor there. Why not split the home fixtures, call it the Scottish saltires or something. For example have Connor and Edwards (if goes back) as 1 and 5 then build kids/ inexperienced guys around it. Yeah difference in Millar brothers in particular from start of season was night and day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could loan Bailey to the Monarchs for next season, he suited the blue and gold away at Newcastle Would love to have Edwards back but fear the travel may be too much for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that hasn't happened under the facenna ownership was promise of a training track. Shocking the lack of Scottish riders around nowadays.

Remember there were 3 meetings Scotland Vs England U21s at our 3 tracks. Nichols and Richardson were in England team.
