Should know by now Steve you have to have a hotel booked on cancellation if you are trying to follow speedway one never knows what can happen  😀. You can still stay over on way yam from scummy but come across A66 instead of heading up A1 to Berwick 😜

Free breakfast offer but had to be a 'payable up front non flex booking ' if I remember rightly ☹️

I was quite impressed with the performance against Scunny although sad to say Jamie Etherington is way off the pace looks like another Sam McGurk scenario. Im sure the promotion will be looking at options to cover Vinnies absence and Jamie.

May have to wait until averages change to do a team shuffle, yea it's a year or 2 early for Jamie, apparently we were 0,02 high on the average to fit Max Perry into the team, but this young kid could be popular for teams wanting to do a change or two

Rolling averages should be set now for May as KO cup matches won’t count.

Jeppesen 8.48

Cook 8.35

Batchelor 6.75

Zischke 5.23

Jakobsen 5.00

Foord 3.89

Etherington 2.00

39.70

Max Perry would be 2.29 so would come in at 39.99 if Max came in for Jamie.

Ill never slate a young lad, but hes been thrown in the deep end and is struggling.

Sam Mcgurk was a gamble, but I understood why they gambled. He was a good rider at NDL level, especially around workington. He was also, alot of the time, on the pace with others at home, he just couldn't gate. 

Jamie is, unfortunately, a couple of years off this level. He can't gate, and he gets further and further behind as the race progresses. He could maybe fix it but he'd have to be up at northside practicing at every opportunity, which I dont think he can due to where he lives.

I dont see who's average will drop to allow the shuffle though. Jamie will remain at 2 pts, but everyone else looks likely to increase theirs.

I posted them above, Tate and Batch’s both drop a bit.

Jamie only scored 1 point for Buxton today in an NDL level meeting, I’d imagine he will be given the Berwick KOC weekend and then will be replaced.

I'd rather gave another 2 pointer like summers ago till the best option or points are available. Going with Perry is just going to be a full season with another very weak reserve

3.66 so could replace Vinnie until he’s fit

Thanks mate. May not be a bad shout but just a shame he can’t partner vinnie bit of experience he’s been around a while.
