I saw Ben Barkers bad crash a few years ago and he wanted to get up but they made him stay still and put him on a stretcher to the ambulance. Surely this should have been done the case of Jack's crash also. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No paramedic would have allowed Jack to walk. Scunny haven't done wrong but the rules need tightening. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They definitely do need tightening I just hope Jack makes a full recovery and it doesn't turn out a worse case scenario when he said the following :- "There's still a chance that even with this brace I could be walking along and lose feeling or end up paralysed but at the moment, I've got to be positive and as the riders have said, just look to get myself fit before I make any decisions about riding."

Jacks version of events is very different to mr Godfreys statement in today’s speedway star. scunny are however changing their air fence to a polyfoam fence like kings lynn Glasgow and Berwick which should be much better than the current air fence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won’t make one ounce of difference , if it lifts, it’s the Armco that they hit that causes the majority of injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,658 Posted March 9, 2023 A double change is still a potential option according to Danny Ford in today's Speedway Star, as well as a straight replacement for Jack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the polyfoam is a much heavier than a airfence so should be less likely to lift 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way to narrow it down! Do you have to name a full 1-7 at P+P or do they have til April 5th? Imagine if we did a Plymouth and had guests for the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foamfences don't lift! They are 'way safer than air-fences. The news that Scunny are upgrading to foam is very, very welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't stop teams being allowed a guest in case there's no one out there, so in theory a team could use guests from their 2nd match till the end of the season! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think it would be really out of order to drop a rider in March with no other team spots available, especially as there are options available for a straight swap for Thomas! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
