Buxton had Sam Woolley as a guest for Pavitt who was missing for some reason, David Wallinger was a no show and rider replacement was used for Coles.

Whitmore fell off in his first ride and that was his day finished.

It's all a bit depressing really.

There’s a clear distinction in this league between the haves and have nots and Buxton don’t have a lot!

Sad state of affairs and there really needs to be some form of rider control rather than using averages that clearly don’t work at this level.

Corban fractured his wrist at Stoke last week but made the effort to come to Buxton today. Wallinger turned up and then went home apparently ill.

Apparently ill?

Mr Wallinger doesn't seem to enjoy the best of health.

Perhaps he is allergic to shale?

Hope you didn't give him a free programme.

At least when Buxton had the likes of Rutherford and Geary on the team sheet, you could be confident that they would turn up and give it 100%, sometimes without reaping the rewards that perhaps they should have.

Obviously, surely not the case here but sometimes riders get a pumped up opinion of themselves and expect the team manager to slip them free tyres or some other incentive and all that does is cause bad feeling amongst the less favoured riders.

I feel confident that Mr Wallinger will arise from his sick bed in time for next week's clash with the pride of Manchester.

But then he seems to make more comebacks than Frank Sinatra so I perhaps won't rush down to Corbetts to place a bet on it.

Rutherford is back practising so maybe he can cover for Pavitt. 

Or perhaps he could replace Wallinger if he has jumped ship.
