Suffered whiplash in his heat 8 fall.

Yes he can. His NL average is lower than Morley's!

Morris tweeted this '@AshMorris94: Non stop traffic the whole journey and sat on the side of the motorway to top it off waiting for recovery truck #stressed '

In short: presentation was superb with lots of people there. To return to NL in 2016, SBS EPOS as main team sponsors, Thursday as the new race night, to run 6 meetings this year and possible PL return in 2017/2018.

And my question was obviously relative to the league. It's not my opinion anyway. The league points gleaned so far shows it's not a weak side.

You've not been paying much attention then.

It certainly is a league that fans and riders (therefore promoters) should want to win. Most fans, as you say, want to watch a winning team. But this discussion started about Farnaby being replaced by Halder, and seeing as he only scored 1 or 2 anyway that hasn't made it a losing team from a winning one, regardless of what Halder does. Are you saying the Storm team generally has been built too weak? Or the league is too weak? Perks rode a few meetings for Scunthorpe last season. Cradley didn't find him.

That just means he can't guest in the PL as an NL only guest (ie when a PL team has no facility), it doesn't affecting guesting in the NL at all.

I don't see how a 15 year old who has only been racing 500s a few months yet is already consistently winning MDL races, NL challenge races and has made consecutive British Youth champs finals and can become a club asset is not a better option that someone 5 years his senior, has barely scored this season or last season and is owned by another club. Using him and Walker seems a much better option to me. At the end of the day its about development and not just who will score the most in the next meeting.

Very good signing. He's clearly genuinely talented and looks very smooth.

No. Current averages still apply for Wednesday then the '4 meetings' averages apply and they change again 1st June but Eastbourne won't have ridden any meetings that apply before the cut off date of 20th May.

As Alan says you're correct. When they change Andrews goes third in the averages and rides can be taken by Mason, Owen, Bates and the 2 reserves.

It should be a good meeting between 2 teams I expect to be towards the top of the table come September. Andrews will be missing for the Eagles.

What Ellis has put on facebook in response to the Scunthorpe meeting report from last night that classes him as injured: ' Ellis Perks Well i can ride again but you wnt let me in the team'

That's what I was asking. Why do the 2 teams seems to have different ideas on the same injury?

Do you think having the first official fixture in mid-May may affect attendance levels as fans are used to just watching the Bees this season and seeing a winning team and expect to go far so would rather save their cash for cups and play-offs etc?

I asked this earlier and look at the reply I got^^. Fair enough when he rode on Wednesday he's clearly still injured but how come Scunthoroe were bringing in a guest before he rode on Wednesday for Friday, yet Cradley let him ride on Wednesday??

I posted before he rode tonight. If the Scunthorpe management knew he's still feeling the effects of it I find it strange that the Cradley management would let him ride even if Ellis himself wants to get back on a bike.

On the Rockets page it has slightly altered as the Raiders now host Mildenhall on 9th August rather than a double header on 31st May but the May bank holiday double header and a couple of others are still there.

Why is Williamson riding again when Perks is fit?

People would have said the same about Richard Andrews this winter, and he hasnt ended up in intensive care! But look how he's shone this season.

Good luck to Callum Walker! I still don't know why Farnaby was signed though.

My turn but of course this doesn't really take into account fallers or bike problems Interesting to see our final scores so close Steven but differing rider scores! Eagles 58 Mason 3, 2*, 3, 0 = 8+1 Andrews 1, 3, 3, 1 = 8 Bates 0, 1*, 2, 3 = 6+1 Owen 3, 2, 1*, 3, 1 = 10+1 BWD 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 = 15 Wood 3, 0, 1, 2* = 6+1 Dugard 2*, 2*, FX, 1 = 5+1 Raiders 35 Branford 2, 6^, 2, 2, 2 = 14 Woods 0, 0, 2, 0 = 2 BDJ 1*, 2, 0, 2 = 5+1 Chessell 2, 1*, 2, F = 5+1 Hughes 1, 1, 3, 1*, 0 = 6+1 Hume 1, 0, 0, 1 = 2 Bowtell 0, 0, 1*, 0 = 1+1

Perks is back riding for Cradley next Wednesday. Can this thread go back on topic now??
