Anyone know what happened to Marc Owen? Saw on twitter he'd had an accident.

our announcer had a push bike with an 80cc engine in and Marc rode it after the meeting but fell off. Smashed some bone in his leg I believe but couldn't name which one

Femur unfortunately, still in hospital poor bloke.

[stevec 300]

Apparently, he did a wheelie and went of the back in the pits. Bad femur break I have heard.

Its a bike Martin built for Tom, I think.

Great win for the team last night, shame for Tom won't be a birthday he will forget in a hurry. Jake knight was my man of the night but George was also as good. Adam is a cut above everyone.

 

Can't wait for the Kent match. Have to say if you beat the best team in the league with only 5 riders I say Kent will be worried as I would. Charlie will be back Luke is doing ok and Tom may be back so for a change we can pick the best of the 3

I don't think Powell will be back in less than 3 weeks now his collarbone looked a complete mess. Brennan is more likely to be. I would give him the Kent match as it will be a bit easier for him.

What's the scenario if neither Tom or Charley are fit enough to race? Not sure on the rules but do you have a 3 point reserve guest?

An unattached 3 point rider.

[Hunters 210]

An interesting point. Does it have to be a 3.0. Charley is on 4.0 and Kings Lynn started with a reserve at 5+.

 

Are No 8's regarded as attached? (B Andrews at Cradley.

[catinthehat 115]

Cant see Brennan being fit, Charlie Powell was looking ok in the Bar at the weekend so and said he was going to be ok in 2 weeks to race in Germany grass track, Cottham is due to be back at the end of the month, maybe we could have a whole team for a change.

 

Saying that we have to go to Kings Lynn the night before so fingers crossed it will be ok.

 

Good to stop Birmingham on the run of meetings a well deserved win for the Eagles with all the bad luck they have had this season.

I wonder if spiller junior is affiliated ?

I wonder if spiller junior is affiliated ?

when he finishes school which he probably has by the next meeting. Although Daniel wouldn't fit and I expect they would come as a package, Daniel has started work experience recently so probably won't be over. Ethan could though I gues

[gazzac 1,013]

If Powell is riding grass track in 2 weeks that'll definitely confirm if his shoulders ok. If not gives us a week to get a replacement, which does appear to be an unaffiliated 3.00. Lot of rides for Harris again, although I imagine if Cottham is still out will go for a guest like Hunter to take the pressure off Luke a bit.
