Brum seem to be finding it hard enough to fill their top two spots without weakening their bottom end. Expand Totally agree with Bagpuss here, Paco is weaker than Lampart / Zach Cook & Birmingham don't need any spare points at the top of the team. Also he'd be on a 4.00 ave.

szkocjasid Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Didn't notice how wide Sedgmen's home / away splits were until I was reading the Birmingham track review in Speedway Star. Last year averaged 6.93 at home & 8.59 away. So as long as he can ride Armadale better than he can ride Perry Barr, he'd be a great signing.

I thought I showed enough when guesting last year but that will be Edinburgh’s gain as I am channelling all of that emotion into doing the best I can for the Blue and Gold. Can't say I agree with Paco's comment about being overlooked for the Prem, I can't see a single club that would be strengthened by his signing on a 4.00 average. But I think he's a good signing for Edinburgh. Could be a 6.5 rider next year. Expand On 12/24/2023 at 8:59 PM, Ben91 said: Absolutely. Why would a top tier team be interested in a bang average second tier rider. Expand I could understand Paco saying he was "disappointed" not to get a Prem team, but to me he's not good enough to be "angry" about missing out. For me someone like Josh Pickering could have said that before Lynn gave him a chance as he was a Champ heat leader, but was overlooked for riders not as good as him. Guess it's up to Paco to improve enough to get a chance in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's what we'll get, but not what we need. Averages don't mean everything, it's about what is delivered in key races, and I just don't think he is the man to deliver even in a weaker league... Especially with Picko as number one, someone who provides entertaining races after s*** starts but often comes up short in the big races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He was banned for nine months (as of September 5th) so it should be June the 5th although I'm confused because he also picked up a 30 day ban a week later for a social media post he made so I don't know if that will run concurrently or consecutively.
