Alex2000 266 Posted February 12, 2017 That's one Ell of a signing.... if he can make many of the meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted February 12, 2017 so much for having to sign a 3 pointer 'cos there was no one left , what a signing for the hitmen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted February 12, 2017 Pipe talks about Perks being here for the season and maybe leaving if he thinks he might not be able to carry on. Whereas Perks talks as if he only plans on doing the first few meetings and then re-evaluating the situation. I wonder if Perks will gradually miss more and more meetings, especially away, with the Hitmen using decent guests each time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway28 171 Posted February 13, 2017 It's clear to see that Perks won't ride the whole season from reading his statement in comparison to Pipe's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted February 13, 2017 Certainly sounds like Buxton have signed Ellis Perks' average rather than the rider. Â Expect to see him do a meeting or two and then a host of guests will be utilised up to his average. Â Got to have some sympathy for Buxton, they lose out to others who can pay more, but it does make speedway look a joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipper11 134 Posted February 13, 2017 I thought the rule was you can only have a guest to cover for an absent no1 or if 2 or more riders are out injured? Even if buxton can only use r/r for his absence it has to be better than signing a 3 point rider! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ommer Mon 381 Posted February 13, 2017 Very good signing if he stays the course. Â Best of luck to Buxton. They do a fantastic job up there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if buxton can only use r/r for his absence it has to be better than signing a 3 point rider! If it's a clash of fixtures then they can use a guest regardless of his position in the team (as long as he's not at reserve). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,065 Posted May 20, 2017 Buxton have signed somebody for Perks, from next week, that puts them over the limit so an injured Dicken is out for a 3 pointer. Who's about on an average that big? I can only think of Jacobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TMW 533 Posted May 21, 2017 I think knight let Buxton down a couple of seasons ago when he was dropped from Sheffield. I think he signed for Buxton but then retired I seem to remember Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
