Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted March 15, 2018 Feel for Buxton. There are only a few riders who would fit and get near the points limit. With Mellish & Priest still returning from injury, geography ruling out Hunter & wages probably ruling out Hall its going to take quite the rabbit out of the hat to complete what was looking like a promising side.

the hobbit 142 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Shane Hazelden was at the Birmingham press and practice today and looked sharp. He said he was on about 5.4 but thought that might be reduced to around 4.9 due to missing last season due to injury certainly looked to be over the injury and could do you a good job Edited March 21, 2018 by the hobbit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do riders want a team place and the chance to put themselves in the window for future seasons or sit on the sidelines getting rusty and hope for something closer to pop up mid season? Not directed at Shane btw just unemployed riders in general. Hope he does get fixed up somewhere though, be great to see him back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually your wrong as Shane wouldn't be able to do that either. We are both self employed and have our own customers to think of Edited March 22, 2018 by GARRYH 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If thats the Buxton pay rates no wonder they are struggling............Quite rightly Buxton won't break the bank for a 6 point rider as the club comes first over silly demands. But the list of riders left to use up the points is shrinking and im sure there is only so many times Ryna Blacklocks arm can be twisted. I can see a rider like O'Keefe who has bike and is prepared to travel completing the side even if it leaves them starting badly under the limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
