I doubt that pascoe would return this year if roy shannon is on the move, he was one of the reasons pascoe played for mounts in the first place and there is no way in hell the DV won't go ahead down the big smoke.
Roy was one of the reasons for pascoe coming to mounts but not the only one, there is still a couple of his other old school mates out there in smithy and doc but you are right he won't be back this year but he will back.
On grinton i wonder if OTM has any mail on him and stanhope? i can't see him going anywhere though.
