When he signed for Berwick I think there was ulterior motive involved but one of his excuses for leaving was he though the small wall behind the track was dangerous, it's been there since the track reopened in the 1980's he had also ridden there for Reading and Swindon so he certain will have to be in the right frame of mind for comeback.Easily put off IMO.
Suffered a serious neck injury fractured 4 vertebrates and bad concussion in Denmark or Sweden in 2013 and seemingly retire but Made a comeback last season.
Sad news,Jimmy was a great guy and a character ,had time for everybody and his stories are legendary . I remember his partnership with Dougie Templeton at Old Meadowbank never a superstar of the sport but a team man through and through.R.I.P.
Maybe the averages suggest that Lawson, Summers and Barker are the same as Cook Masters and Wolbert but on track when the pressure was on it was a different story IMO.
Think Lunna is a good signing,and Garcia on decent equipment will improve,not a bad Team IMO .Was wondering if Mr Barrie was thrown in with the loan of Garcia.
While there can be no argument regarding the facilities on offer ,its the entertainment value of the sport which is often questioned nowadays.Best of luck anyway they can't be accused of trying to take the sport forward which is commendable .
