Yes I have seen him ride a few times looked to have a lot of promise but I think he gave it all up and I think that last injury was quite bad.

Well let's put Plymouth on a Monday night then and see how they get on...I'm sure that will work for them.

Does anyone know what happened to Jack Thomas who was signed to ride for the Pirates a couple of years ago, but unfortunately got injured practicing just before the start of the season and hasn’t been seen since??

Do you own a travel agency?

Poole, Edinburgh, Berwick and us. That’s the play-offs, in my opinion. I said it after we beat Edinburgh at Ashfield in the BSN Series; if they can get Thomson scoring and once Palovaara moves into the main body of the team, they’ll be one of the strongest teams in the league. Berwick are on the same boat, albeit slightly behind and with weaker reserves. If they can get Hagon - the British U21 champion, to emphasise my point - scoring, they’ll be a huge threat. Poole are Poole. Lawson is remarkable. For us, I think Dan Thompson’s fitness, Flint’s consistency and what version of Howarth we get in heats 13 and 15 will decide our fate. Nagel is a revelation; he’s our secret weapon. An exciting end to the season in prospect.

As long as he sticks to drinking, not snoring this, he’ll be good.
