I m settling in with my new team mates at Sheffield and now racing with no pressure on my shoulders.  I am getting better scores and knocking in double figure scores in the National League meetings I am doing for Kings Lynn.  So my confidence has improved and can only get better.
 
It was a long ride home from Plymouth on Friday night but made all the better by scoring 16 out of the teams total of 36.  The track there has really improved and become a lot smoother.
 
I have got a busy time ahead and August will be a busy month.  But first we meet Newport at Sheffield on Thursday in the Premier League and then I race against Newport at Kings Lynn in the National League on Sunday.
 
See you there.

I am pleased to say that I have now agreed to ride for the Sheffield Tigers.  I came close to riding for them last year  as everything had been agreed with Kings Lynn and then circumstances changed and I went to Scunthorpe.

I have made several guest appearances for Sheffield in the last couple of years and I really like the  track. 

I think a change of club will be good for me and I can rebuild my confidence quickly and fit into the reserve berth.  I am still going to ride National League for Kings Lynn as and when the matches fit in.

My debut meeting is Thursday 1st July against Rye House.  So when you come and watch the Tigers in action please come and say hello.

I am  sorry to say that I have lost my team place with the Scunthorpe Scorpions and have been  released from their 1 - 7 squad.  I have seen this coming but I honestly have tried everything to improve my performance, I have not just sat back and thought 'it will be ok' I have fought to improve my scores.
 
I am sorry this has happened but I fully understand the reasons behind it.  My form has not been good enough this year and therefore  I have been released.
 
I would like to thank Gail and Rob Godfrey for giving me the opportunity to ride for the Scorpions for the last season  and a half.  They are great people and have done wonders at Scunthorpe Speedway. Its certainly a great club to ride for and to be involved with. I would also like to thank the fans that have supported me at each meeting and a big thank you to the members of the STING Fund who have helped me with bike repair bills when funds have been low. 
 
My immediate future lies in the National League riding for Kings Lynn and also working for the family business.  I will then take it from there.
 
See you soon

I am struggling to score points in the Premier League at the moment and as my average has dropped below 4 I have now agreed to ride for Kings Lynn in the National League for a while.  I am hoping that this will restore some of the confidence I have lost which will then hopefully benefit Scunthorpe when riding in the Premier League.
 
Believe me I have tried so hard to get it right in the last few weeks changing different things on the bikes but I now have to work at the confidence building side.
 
Anyway tonight I rode for Kings Lynn against Weymouth and scored 17 points from 6 rides which makes me feel a whole lot better.  Lets hope I can keep this points scoring going and get back to getting high points for Scunthorpe in the Premier League.

I have to apologise to the fans and followers for my result at Scunthorpe on Friday night.  I rode at Kings Lynn on the Wednesday in the Ashley Jones Memorial Meeting  and scored paid 9 - but I took a heavy fall and bruised my ribs.  I also hurt my back and jarred the arm I broke a couple of years ago.  I was in great pain but decided to ride through it.  I also had the gremlins in the machinery in my first race.  It just wasn't my night.
 
Anyway its a night I want to forget - particularly as it was against Malcolm's team Stoke - so I am now looking forward to the three meetings over the Easter weekend starting off at Birmingham Thursday, Stoke Friday and then at Scunthorpe Easter Monday.

Well its all systems go now as the first match of the season approaches.  We had a good press and practice day at Scunthorpe on Tuesday.  Everyone had worked hard to get the track ready after all the wet weather and my bikes felt good.   After lunch with the team we all  finished the day off  with a blast round at a go karting circuit near Newark. 
 
So the first match of the season is against Sheffield tomorrow night and then next Wednesday I am riding in the Ashley Jones Memorial Meeting at Kings Lynn.  This is always a good meeting and attracts a good line up in memory of Ashley.
 
Three more matches after that next week so I am really fired and up for it.
 
If you come along to any of the matches please come and find me and say hello.

I had a skid at Scunthorpe at the weekend and although the track was not perfect it was good to just get the feel of the bike again. The few laps blew the cobwebs away.

I am really looking forward to the start of the season this year with new bikes, covers, kevlars and van. 

A big thank you to my sponsors who have again been brilliant and agreed to help me in 2010 season.   I know it is not an easy time for a lot of businesses at the moment but I really cant stress enough how much it helps.

I am still looking for a tyre and oil sponsor so if anyone thinks they can help with this - in any way - please get in touch via this website or ring me.

See you at the press and practice.

I have been working hard on my bikes and getting them ready for the start of the new 2010 season.
 
I am getting my new bike covers and mudguards soon and when I get them and get them on the bikes I am ready to go for a practice.  The rain  is not helping and the sooner we get rid of all the wet weather and I can get out on the track it will be better.
