NKI is not allowed to fly on medical grounds at the moment, which is why he is only doing meetings abroad  until he is given the all clear. Its all explained in an excellent article in todays Speedway Star magazine.

Id of thought that it would be a fine straight swap? As Bowes average is higher than Gilkes? I’d of thought that would be fine.  Can’t let Neman go in this form, however if Gilkes is not 110% then I’d still keep the struggling Bowes

FFS!!!! It's their FIRST meeting!!!.... With (hopefully), lots of people there who have either some vague idea of what Speedway is, or havent a clue at all what it is all about... What a load of bollox involved when all that needs to be done is a close meeting, with Northampton winning...

Should have given him a "Special Burger"....
