  1. Doctors have said 6 to 8 weeks will have a better idea after follow up scans in early may. Regardless of what doctors say he won't ride until we decide he's fit enough.
  2. The crash was 100% down to what we would consider to be the poorest lap he's put in since his 125 days the 3 previous laps were very good . no fault of scunthorpe speedway or the facilities there. There's nothing to imagine so let's not stir up another campaign as there already one happening on Facebook
  3. It certainly is and made us all laugh when he asked for a proper bed . In fairness though it's a specialist hospital and the care he's getting is wonderful. Big up to the NHS
  4. At this moment in time there is no time set on how long before he returns. After a conversation with him today he is eager to know timescales but he is under no illusions that regardless of his desire to ride he won't be rushed back as at 15 his career should he have one is all in front of him
  5. Luke had accepted the guest ride however as Berwick wanted to use him instead of josh embleton they couldn't as a reserve must be replaced by an unattached rider below his average. It's a good rule which gives riders without a place an opportunity to ride
  6. Thats no good at all getting smashed every week helps nobody the rider the team or the supporters all become disappointed. Sport is littered with decent young kids who have smoke blown up there arses and told there better than they are only for them to grasp the harsh realities of it and get chucked on the scrap heap for the next wonder kid. We have a long term plan and will stick to it this year like last opportunity will come and some we will take and others we won't .
  7. Has to be unattached so due to Luke been in the declared team he cannot guest at 6 or 7 but can at one to five hence why he can ride for Mildenhall tomorrow
  8. Luke was in then out mate it's the mad rules
  9. He's only 15 turns 16 in June and championship is not on the agenda at this moment. To much to soon could be the ruination of him remember he's British and would be slagged from pillar to post if he don't score well ,won't get the slack Aussie youngsters get who struggle at that level
  10. That would be good mate it's fantastic ,been able to manipulate the rules openly is a good tool to have in your locker. Beats paying a rider to do 1 lap then use rr all season (worlds worst kept secret )
  11. Track don't need bedding in it was fantastic both days. The 10 riders there put in plenty of laps and from beginning to end it was terrific little bit slick but that's only to be expected. No idea on open sessions but we will be back up for a full weekend prior to season starting
  12. In fairness Luke isn't concerned what number he rides at but is hoping that he can ride as a pair with Sam . They have such a good understanding of how each other rides stemming from grasstrack then the 125s and 250s.
  13. The 125 format within the Njl is fantastic as a team we will be forever grateful to Berwick for giving our rider the chance to develop at such a young age. Living 15 minutes from our home track which ran Mdl but having to travel 4 hours for Njl was the only downside .
  14. Wolves did all last year and are doing this year , scunny also have second halves at most meetings if you want them
  15. The njl with the 125s included is such a better format
  16. We weren't trying to be clever but due to being told 4 meetings means an average meant that it would be foolish to do so potentially our rider could of ended up being a number 1 this season after only 4 meetings.
  17. Personally think it's good to have British riders like Adam in the league sets the bar for the younger ones to reach. Not sure it's the correct average he's been given but I'm sure someone can get the exact reason why it's a 6
  18. And the 4 meeting rule blocked my rider from competing at the end of the year. Constantly told soon as a wheel is turned in the 4th meeting an average for the following season would be applied
  19. Luke Harrison is Workington reserve with Elliot Kelly
  20. Article says home meetings to be run on the other participants tracks . So the reality is cradled ride away every meeting but classed at home on occasions. It's a start for the league though decent idea
  21. Can't comment on ace however luke was not involved with Berwicks academy last year although he had been part of the set up previously. Do tell
