Ommer Mon Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think the Fixture Planners must be having a laugh at our expense! I believe both Greavesie and Ellis Perks will be missing due to other commitments. Hard to see how the Planners could have come up with this so early in the season. I'm also not sure if Luke Harris will be fit to take his place after crashing on Monday. My guess is R/R and a 3 pointer to cover. Could be the Heathens first league defeat of the season. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think we should all just get behind the team thats left & stop complaining.This was always going to happen at sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 If the team has successful and sought after riders this will happen. The alternative is to have less sought after riders but a weaker team, Hobson's Choice, I know. It cannot be the responsibility of fixture planners to ensure that any team is at full strength for every fixture, surely that is the duty of the team manager/promotion?

Sings4Speedway Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wouldn't panic just yet. I suspect R/R for Harris. I hope Number 8 for Perks and a decent guest for the incredible sulk. Still should have just enough in the tank to get an away win but as a neutral Go On Buxton!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Team news is Greaves R/R, Govier for Perks and still waiting on news on Harris. Buxton have Holt and Basford replacing Bowen and Hoskins at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Nice to see Cradley using their number 8. Strange that Buxton haven't gone down that route also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Query, If Harris is unfit will it be possible for Cradley to use a guest, and seeing as Matt Williamson is riding for Scunthorpe tonight at Edinburgh, will Matt be riding at Buxton or will Ellis be available, I think there are going to be lots of program alterations.

Matt's riding for you regardless but Harris is too now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Without commenting on the rumour thats flying around its rumoured Ellis picked up an injury on Monday, and though he rode in several more races he was limping heavily when he walked away from his Ht 2 crash.

fredbogge Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) It`s very wet in Buxton area still raining at present. I hope is going to fine up in the morning Buxton`s track soon dries out with a bit of wind. But if it still rain`s all night as BBC weather service states it may not go ahead. Got any forward views Jayne Edited May 2, 2015 by fredbogge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommer Mon Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Great shame. I was looking forward to my trip today and ironically it looked as if we may have had a full team out after all due to Workington's match being called off before ours!.
