PotteringAround Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Seems the only one where szkocjasid hasn't started a 2024 prediction thread, so any thoughts? Edited December 10, 2023 by PotteringAround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Smith as number 1? And Hodder in there possibly too. Maybe both the mcgurks back I’m not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagon & Hodder is now a strong top 2 in this league. Don't think Smith with fit in with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortythirtyeight Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Don’t worry folks, your team is sorted as Lemon has just dumped one rider saying he can no longer can fit him in …..well why did he sign him in the first place ? especially as he had turned down two other teams and now hasn’t got a place ! Great way to treat the kids. No wonder the sport is in such a mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you are not in the know doesn’t mean I have to tell you. I know because I assist the rider concerned . I’m not naming names as that is upto the club press office to do or the rider and it isn’t my club so they can do things the way they see fit. The rider concerned has now got another team so it’s all good now . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will he be a reserve? Knowing that McGurk is a potential 7.00+ rider at the NSS they could put him in the top 5 with a powerful top end Sam Hagon 8.24 Max Perry 7.75 Freddy Hodder 6.44 Joe Alcock 4.36 Harry McGurk 3.00 Kean Dicken 3.00 Sonny Springer 3.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can get himself bk to the 7+ rider he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it again, they could run with that strong top end, carry Dicken in the top 5, and have McGurk as a potential trump card at reserve. If McGurk returns to his NSS form a top 4 of Hagon, Perry, McGurk, Hodder would be very potent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds harsh, but helps them win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 McGurk has shown enough in the past to be the best 3.00 rider this coming season. Hopefully he can get his confidence back and being at a track he knows will only help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Im assuming that Dicken is doing a lot of laps in the Northern amateur meetings and looking impressive as otherwise i just don't get where his name has appeared in so many potential line ups? The last i heard is that Alcock had fallen out of love with the sport and was finished with it.....but things often quickly change. Only in speedway can riders like H.McGurk & Crang have appalling seasons and then become sought after signings the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
