Oh ye of little faith! - though it will hinge around how Ashton and Leon go. Neither were great last time but improved performances could win us the meeting.
That's the date reserved for the KO Cup. Would be riding at Armadale if Edinburgh beat Workington. This meeting is also off and possibly will be rearranged for May 23 when the Comets were due at Armadale in the league. Looks like both BSN and KO Cup competitions are likely to be delayed. Irony is that May 2 is unused.
Our season has barely started and already we've got fixture problems following this cancellation. We've got a blank Friday on May 2 but Berwick are at Edinburgh that night. May 30 is reserved for the KO Cup - at home if v Workington; away if against Edinburgh. If the latter we have two meeting Berwick (BSN) and Edinburgh (KO Cup) to arrange in June - and no blank dates! Trouble ahead.
Cami Brown rarely picks a rider who has ridden in heat 14 for the nominated heat. Wrong but that's what he often does. Claus Vissing rode at 4 and rarely got the nod regardless of how well he had ridden.
Get a grip and stop panicking. Riding at four and paired with the mercurial Thompson is a hard gig for Flint and scoring up to hide GSA may prove to be a big ask. Perry and Hodder need time but the wisdom of having two 2.00 reserves was always questionable. Boughen is carrying an injury and will be a better rider once he is back to full fitness
Didn't he knock Wayne off in a second half heat with the younger Briggo breaking both wrists? He also had a bad crash with George Hunter in the Scottish Pairs at Old Meadow Bank in 1965
