They keep talking about young talent,yet not many are getting a fair go. Just fiddling about in the numbers game…….he can still pull out the stops on occasion…….

They keep talking about young talent,yet not many are getting a fair go. The attraction of Complin is because he's well past his best & has a low average. To sign him at his best would mean signing him as a heat leader & not a reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted November 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 If Lawson's to stay at Poole alternative would be the other worrall and maybe Stefan nielsen? Or howarth and James Pearson. Or batch and someone like ruml. But given we've released danyon whose similar average to ruml I assume not going down that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why he wouldn’t, but others seem to think so. The only thing I’m reasonably confident about is Nowak. I’d be surprised if we don’t see him. The rest, pure guesswork. Tom held his average well riding at #5, which to be honest was a really tough gig for him early in the season. But he grew into it well, and is well placed to take another step next year, I’d say. I think he just needs to work a bit on consistency, but I don’t think any Glasgow fans would be disappointed to see him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he might want to ride at Glasgow? I expect him to be at Poole but as we've all seen umpteen times in the past riders usually end up riding where they want to be.

Kennett, Miedzinski, Batchelor and Crump are all examples from the past. 36 minutes ago, Fortythirtyeight said: No, they usually end up where they can get the best deal. Yep, probably amounts to the same thing. Location and race night probably contribute in some cases too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Riders will ho where the money is. Lawson was on a big guarantee at Lakeside and Eastbourne courtesy of Jon Cook in an era where guarantees were getting out of hand. He can't have a guarantee any more so riders will gravitate to Clubs who can guarantee income in another way. It won't be illegal for any Club linked sponsor to say offer 3 new bikes and a van... The long established riders like Lawson, Bomber, Scotty will be weighing up the best deals. Clubs with big Sponsors will be very attractive.
