CTD26 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 1 hour ago, RogerM22 said: I was reading an old U21 SWC programme earlier and there was a good interview with Bickley in there, he mentioned he was best mates with Craig Cook. If Workington could get 2 local lads like Cook/Bickley back in then maybe they'd spur each other on. I don't think Bickley will ever be a world beater, but he's still only 21 and the standard of reserves in next year's Championship looks weak. Shame to see his talent lost to speedway. See where you’re coming from but I would take a hard pass on Bickley personally. He rode in the sue roper memorial and if he wasn’t ahead by bend 2 he seemed to just give in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been in a couple of teams with cookie and hasn't really been spurred on then be no different now sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTD26 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I’m hearing from a reliable source that we’ve secured the services of a “big name” rider that’s come recommended from Darcy ward. I’ve been scratching my head since I heard to try figure out who it is but so far came up with nothing, any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be signed on a 5? Probably a 5 as I think like, most young Aussie's do, he's been riding in the lower polish league or U24. Think he's the best of the available Aussie's, but if he rides for the comets he will be a long way from a British Aussie base. These are down south in the Poole area, so may mean a lot of traveling, unless he wants to be based further north without many Aussie's around him Edited November 24, 2023 by Neila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Not exactly a “big” name, lots of potential but not achieved lots, yet! Now Josh Grazjonek(insert correct spelling please) is a big name. Just guessing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge difference between the two riders. West looks a nightmare, ask anyone on IOW. Better bet would be Brayden McGuinness, Zischke looks head and shoulders above those two though.
