Well, bugger me!

 

That retirement didn't last long, did it?

And we did all that emotional send-off business at the last meeting at Buxton and it was probably just a ruse to get away from Friend Pipe!

 

I just hope that Mr Blacklock doesn't do something silly like sign for Stoke.

 

Sounds to me like he was struggling to make the sport pay just riding in the NL. I assume now he has signed for Berwick he'll be looking for a NL spot too to keep riding regularly. What happens if he is dropped by Berwick during the season will remain to be seen however.

when I spoke to Ryan at the last meeting he said he didn't feel he was getting the chances in premier and unless he got a premier place he was quitting , I spoke briefly to him last week about his Berwick team place and he said he wasn't looking to ride NL cause of work commitments

I seem to remember him standing in front of us and saying he had retired full stop.

There was no mention of if this or if that.

 

I am not getting on anyone's back and I wish Ryan every success.

I don't think we need to bring Jesus into it.

Nice to see that Shelby Rutherford will be back with Buxton in 2017.

Shelby had a bit of an up and down season in 2016 but he remained enthusiastic and I do believe that he could make significant progress in the coming season.

 

G'day to our southern hemisphere friends who read this drivel :cheers:

 

Give it LARGE, Shelby.

Disappointing to see Ryan Burton being lured away from Buxton by bigger spending clubs. Buxton have to rely on the loyalty of the riders they find. It's sad when they have their heads turned by clubs with more money.

 

Expecting other departures from Hi-Edge very soon too.

it's disappointing from the riders loyalty point of view but not surprising Edited by THE DEAN MACHINE

Tom Woolley rejoins Buxton on a 4.90 average

Well, that's pretty good news and apparently, Jason Pipe is delighted and, "looking forward to working with him again in 2017"

 

Tom was getting back in the Buxton groove when he came to guest on a couple of occasions last year and I think he should be able to improve a tad on his 4.9 average.

 

I wonder what the next big news will be from the Hitmen?

I think we are entering a time of interesting developments.

Perhaps the Bod in the Box will have invested the £20 note that I gave him after the last meeting wisely and purchased this masterpiece?

Or perhaps, something even more exciting might happen?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Seems slightly strange that all the years Tom rode the Buxton track his best performances came as an away rider?

Either way he should be capable of maintaining his average but im not sure if he will add more than 0.5 to it.

Who knows, maybe a change of scenery did him good and also he had a shoulder operation in the close season which he desperately needed. Whatever the reason we are happy to have him back.
