Buxton Hitman 2014

I thought there had been fund raising during the recent season to deservedly help Buxton HitmEn provide an Air Fence.

This is a great little venue and deserves all the support it can get.

There has indeed and although the fund raising will need to continue, we are on course for purchasing an air fence. Many of the manufacturers are offering payment plans and it is likely that we will use this alongside the existing fund to pay for it. Although we still need to raise some more cash to pay the instalments so will be looking at further fund raising next year.

That great thanks for the update Jayne.

Will Charles Wright,s premier average , Bar him from National league speedway next season,??

Under the current rules it would be but who knows what will happen in 2014? A lot of riders from this years NL will be inelligible to double up so things may change. I guess a lot will depend on how the league is made up which we wont know until at least the middle of December if not later.

Buxton will have a good team Jayne alway dose a good job.

Well just read on Dudley post that they have signed Matt Williamson, so if that is true Jayne had better get her finger out and sign some riders or there will be no one left any good. What about Mikey Neal Danny Phillips but we really need heat leaders but i cant think of any who are left James Cockle is the only one still not got a place, why not try to tempt Ben Read away from Stoke, and what is Smarty doing try to get him back. Just who have we got never any news coming from the management is really annoying.Just checked out who could do a good job and is available Chris Mills he would be a great number one go get him Jayne.

Unfortunately we don't have a big budget like other clubs so don't attract the riders the same. It gets harder every year and with less riders about this year due to the el draft then it's even worse. If Matt has gone to Dudley that's news to us as last we heard he was thinking of giving NL a miss.

Have you tried getting Liam Carr back Jayne? He is one rider from 2013 that I would not like to see slip away. He added almost 3.5 points to his average this year, I personally believe he could be a 9 pointer in 2014! Already showed great potential as a heat leader, even when chucked in at the deep end at number 4 I believe in his first meeting for the hitmen against former club stoke, scoring 13 points. I hope you have spoken to him and can come to terms and get him signed.

21-year-old Matt Williamson is a regular at Scunthorpes monthly Amateur meetings at the Eddie Wright Raceway and rode for National League Buxton last season.

 

Godfrey said: Matt is another one with a fantastic motocross pedigree.

 

Weve signed him as a full asset. Hes another Richie Worrall really, although his motocross pedigree is better than Worralls. From the very beginning, we saw a future in him and now hes come back to us to say he wants to do it, so Im very happy with that.

LifeIsSpeedway - I agree with you, Liam would have been the first of the 2013 team that I would have tried to sign up.

 

As it hasn't been mentioned on this thread, welcome to Buxton's first signing to be announced - Adam Extance.

 

Good luck to Matt Williamson has been offered a reserves spot at Scunthorpe in the Premier League so may not be back at Buxton.

Enjoyed my trips to Buxton at the back end of last season. Unfortunately, I won't be there as often this season, but I hope they get a competitive team!

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they lined up something like

 

1) Charles Wright 10.37

2) Liam Carr 6.87

3) Lee Smart 5.76

4) Gareth Isherwood 4.57

5) Luke Priest 4.75

6) Ryan Blacklock 4.43

7) Adam Extance 3

 

Riders who have a history with Buxton, so obviously don't mind the pay structure there, and would do a good job around Buxton.
