Maybe Lisa will tell us more on that. I know when he came to see us after the meeting a few weeks back he had an ice pack on his wrist and he’s currently struggling a bit with an injury. 'Not quite on it' but still top of Pirates averages for June! Injury to his hand/wrist have certainly not helped.....! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess there is a bigger gap between the two leagues than we think! Though a smooth track will be more beneficial for a wrist injury.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is imo is Ipswich are more reliant on Danny than Poole are, as long as Lawson and Steve Worall get double figures than okay for Danny to get 8/9/10 points a meeting.

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted May 26, 2022 2 hours ago, Roger Jacobs said: (Previous replies deleted/lost!) Teams can replace riders up to the points limit - hence Ipswich had over 7 points to use when they replaced Heeps. Because teams are normally close to the points limit, the replacements tend to have a lower average. The BSPA has introduced a splendidly vague new Regulation this season whereby once the Prem started, there's a window between 25% and 75% of fixtures when replacements can be made. The 15th fixture (25%) is on 2nd June, by which time the new Green Sheets will be in operation, and teams will know how much scope they have to make changes, if required. Which the BSP Ltd Board completely ignored for the Belle Vue and Ipswich changes. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted May 26, 2022 4 hours ago, Baldyman said: Not on our track he wasn't,,, and weirdly never was even before we signed him,,,,, another one of the many WTF management decisions over the years Plenty of riders master tracks once they sign for them though, Lawson for example was never any good at Lynn. 4 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: Was for Swindon, the track suited him and his style. Foxhall not so much. Surprised though that someone else hasn’t took him on like a Sheffield for example. Maybe he’s happy giving Britain a miss these days. On a good average now mind. I assume with Poland, Sweden, SEC, SoN and GP qualifying he feels he has enough going on. Would be dynamite for BV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
