So why after loosing thousands of pounds and being injured again and again would he consider returning?

He isn't stupid

Because it won't cost him nearly as much with the dugards and he clearly still has a place in his life for Motorsport

It wasn't only about the money. There's more to it. Plus on the injury front he was still suffering head aches from his head injury nearly 2 years later Alex.

Just wondered like I said I wasn't sure if he'd had a really bad accident or not

Don't rate this Eastbourne team that highly to be honest

Yes but you probably rate Cradley highly because they have Morris and Clegg. It's all good that they have them riders but they can score 30 between them in a meeting. They might do well for themselves but if they don't get the rest of the team going they won't win anything. With what is looking a level team at Eastbourne they will help each other together things right and win races. Whereas I think the top riders will let the others get on with it. It's how well the team work together that wins things not just how highly you rate some of the riders in a team.

Going to be tough to predict the 1-12 once the teams are completed. Some very strong 1&5 combos, some very solid in the engine room and a few ace cards at reserve. However there are weaknesses / question marks in all at present. As things stand id say Brum, Cradley & IOW to fill 3 of the top 4 spaces however the last signings announced could swing it another way.

Oh b#gger f@rts b#gger. Really? Well that makes who to put at number 12 easier. Despite the newbies he will still be one of the worst reserves in the league.

last year people were dismissing the eagles for being a team of journeymen and unknown novices, the only people this team need to impress is the dugards and to do it on the track.we would be foolish to expect phillips to be another georgie wood but he has more experience of speedway than wood did and he knows that good performances would attract the attention of the rebels so it's not out of the question. a fitter, leaner hopwood should be as good if not better. andrews i wanted back but it will be tough for him to increase his average as i don't see him dropping to reserve this season. knight has totally come in under my radar but the reaction to him signing was very positive with him increasing his average easily and wood himself so long as he can avoid the dreaded 'consolidation second season' should carry on where he left off. if the worst kept secret in speedway is true and the no1 & no7 are hughes & powell, thats not a bad side at all but then again i an biased :D
