Winter signing Peter Kildemand will miss next week’s Cab Direct Championship Big Weekend after suffering concussion riding for Oxford Spires last night.

I cannot see where the press release mentioned Craig Cook... or when you say "we" do you mean you and the good lady MrsStevePark?

I think it did mention Cookie originally, but it might have been edited since?

That is the direct copy off Facebook. "we" is Berwick.  Nothing to do with Mrs Steve Park (if she existed, which she doesn't).

Looks like they've mis-quoted their own story then, "we expect" is far from confirmed and that's just for Drew Kemp... sounds more like Great Expections.

I expect Dayle Wood

What's the deal with Scott Nicholls?

Is he:

a) retired?

b) not "starting" the season due to injury?

c) "out" for the season due to injury?

Could he be an option with R/R to start the season. Because if Cook does by some miracle start the season there's not a snowball in hell's chance he'll finish it.

Its me again, there is no escape Iain.

Its B he has an operation in the closed season and will not be fully recovered until mid season I think I remember May being quoted.

W9 LionStalker... He'll be quite a signing for the team that gets him... has worked under Mr Dickson before... quite successfully 🏆

I'm a bit surprised that Oxford didn't wait for him, especially in a league play off system where you don't need to operate at 100% for a full season.

In last weeks Speedway Star, Scott said its June at the earliest that he can return and that he will not return until the shoulder is ok and he is fit and ready to hit the ground running. 

So how long do Oxford wait ? Do they delay all CL fixtures till late in the season in the hope Scott is ready ? Or beg the authorities to allow a 6 man team and RR/guests until he is fit to return ?

June's a bit long to run without a rider isn't it? Maybe a short term with a Dougy or Picko and then Nicholls? But probably not feasible worth Berwick being a Saturday track (do they still run Saturdays?). Is Thomas Jorgensen fit these days?

For a fairly prolific poster you don't seem to be very clued up on what's happening.

You could just continue the discussion by answering some simple questions instead of being so narky

This has to be worrying for Berwick supporters

Confirmation that your R.E.D Bandits, powered by STS, will be represented by Drew Kemp and skipper Danyon Hume in Saturday’s Championship Pairs at Workington, 3pm.

With winter signing Peter Kildemand still sidelined under the concussion protocol following his spill at Oxford last week and Craig Cook unavailable at this time the baton passes to a couple of last season’s standout performers.
