scaramanga Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 We don't need a superstar reserve just a couple who can score a few points It's always nice to have a good reserve in case a rider in top 5 takes a knock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) When Max Perry rode for Leicester Lions Cubs when Comets joined the NDL in 2023 I had him down as a rider who had the qualities to go further eg good on the bike, a trier all the way to the flag with a bit of a racing instinct. Somehow he seems to have lost his way having been dropped by Poole very quickly in 2024 and then what was probably a pressure year in 2025 at Glasgow who were chasing silverware on more than one front. Many people consider him a weak reserve after his last two seasons but I would certainly be inclined to give him a chance if a like for like replacement for Jamie Etherington is being sought. Oh and just out of interest his scores for Glasgow at Berwick lsst season were 8 in the BSN and 9 in the Championship, granted he never repeated those feats often enough.

szkocjasid Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 11 hours ago, Marksman said: 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. That would be a good move, didn't expect the averages to drop, but best use the available points to strengthen up when they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber75 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 At the end of the day we only need a reserve that doesn't mean the best you can hope for in a heat is 3-3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD26 Posted yesterday at 09:58 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:58 AM Not sure if it’s already been posted in here, but there is a go fund me to help Vinnie with his bike repairs and any other expenses while he’s out injured. https://www.gofundme.com/f/vinnie-foord-fundraiser?attribution_id=sl:0fa2c226-9c47-4a51-a977-e7818f7e1589&lang=en_US&ts=1776094452&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwRlRTSARZbsFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEetu4qTb-hstYbaNFvpo-fF82PReExhMEioKwv3HJk_kc0T9hcWScYnoQqbHI_aem_HUQUYXhq9QsLq3GC80IjjQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
