He is doubling down with Mildenhall and has been taking a fair number of NDL guest bookings. At his age is this extra physical activity and travel stress affecting his performances for Glasgow and although I appreciate it is part of Lee's income, would Glasgow be within their rights to say one team only or is their employment laws to prevent such a thing? Only if they never intend to use a guest or doubling up rider again themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Brennan probably carrying an unfair weight of expectation as next Lambert or Bewley. He's over performed for Team GB and on occasions for Belle Vue especially at NSS He's doing well in Poland. He's getting plenty of European experience in other GB options. Probably over stretched equipment wise and travelling and it's a long old haul from Midlands to Glasgow and back if he's commuting to Europe and back twice a week. If Glasgow go top tier would probably help him. He's not good enough to ditch CL but not ready to ride 6 or 7 days a week either. Biggest mistake Glasgow have made is making him Captain. Don't think he's ready for it on or off the track Next 18 months will decide where his next level is at. Plenty in GP though have plateaued in early 20s and then come back very strong later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good points made and I do agree with the captaincy issue, nothing against the lad but as you say - too early for it just yet. Based on experience alone, either Harris or Vissing would be better as captain + take pressure off Tom a little by letting him ride at 3 or 4.....

He got it because cook didn't want it and was no other candidate at the time. But agree, Harris should obviously be the captain in this side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone (with half a clue) has ever compared Brennan to Lambert or Bewley. There’s undoubted potential there and he’s progressing well at his own pace. He is on his own path and he isn’t even having a bad season. There’s too much stock put into riders being the next “insert big name.” Let them forge their own name. I personally don’t think his ceiling is world class but he could develop into a very solid top tier rider. I’d love to see him prove me wrong and be a GP star of the future.

If he keeps this demolition backing for another few seasons I'd ask the Facennas to relocate the Harris's north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see there being a top tier next season with several clubs threatened with closure. And even so I think Belle Vue would be Tom's first choice.

If it goes to one division I doubt there will be few teams able to afford the luxury of a GP rider both financially and average wise. As.much as its nice to watch the great riders it gets a bit boring watching them win by the length of a straight. Well balanced teams is one of the things required to get British Speedway back on track. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should never happen. Building to a 40 point limit is not only laughable but is a ridiculous scenario for teams who want to progress rather than the teams who vote this through every year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be correct but if Tom decides he wants the Aces which is his prerogative then we may well insist on it being a full transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
