Alex2000 266 Posted May 21, 2017 I think you're right actually.I think it would suit him as he retired initially because of work so with a Sunday club that shouldnt affect him and less competitions mean not so many meetings but he can still guest if he wants extra rides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunters 210 Posted May 21, 2017 Really pleased for Buxton as it looks certain. Disappointed he decided to have a year out or he would have been back at Arlington but apart from that Buxton would have been my choice for him. Jayne deserves a break (and several more). Having seen Jake twice this year he is different class and looks sure to get the full 15 when he visits us later on and we will not begrudge him that. They will be top heavy but if Woolley and Rutherford give them the right support they will be difficult to beat at home and competitive away. Good Luck to them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,013 Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) 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 Jake never let Eastbourne down last year, so look after him and he'll look after you. If he's confirmed as the new rider which seems the case pleased for you and should get your season going, bit top heavy but will be good to watch.

Heathen1984 139 Posted May 21, 2017 Rider rides for Edinburgh, great signing. 👍👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted May 21, 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. Max Clegg. But the Wolves/Cradley promotion won't let him ride until after Cradley have been there today and collected their 4 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted May 21, 2017 Max Clegg. But the Wolves/Cradley promotion won't let him ride until after Cradley have been there today and collected their 4 points Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raddog 9 Posted May 21, 2017 what ave would Max & Jake be on ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted May 21, 2017 what ave would Max & Jake be on ?? Clegg comes in on 10+, which is 2 points more than Perks. Hence they are also having to drop Lee Dicken and bring in a 3.00 rider. (William O'Keefe?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted May 21, 2017 We wud av got the 4 points if you had clegg in the team or not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,762 Posted May 21, 2017 I'd love it if somebody could come on here and put a valid argument forward as to how and why that result is good for third tier speedway. And if the earlier comment about Clegg not being able to ride to day is correct (I assume there is a good chance that it isn't) then words absolutely fail me.

Didn't think Clegg was eligible for NL this year either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted May 21, 2017 And if the earlier comment about Clegg not being able to ride to day is correct (I assume there is a good chance that it isn't) then words absolutely fail me. Extremely unlikely Clegg could have ridden for Buxton this afternoon anyway (without bringing start time forward) as he is at Workington tonight for Edinburgh, but I've been told that stipulations were made that he mustn't ride for Buxton until after the Cradley match...Whether that is true or mischief making I wouldn't know.

Heathen1984 139 Posted May 21, 2017 Load of rubbish as you said cause if he did sign you would still of had a 3 pointer for him as he was riding for Edinburgh today, so makes no difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted May 21, 2017 If it's true it's pathetic but unlikely if he's at Workington tonight. Would've been good to see him against us. At the start of the meeting there was a fair few watching from the stox event next door but even they got bored. Not the best of meetings tbh but 4 points I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
