Parker Out of PLRC
(Posted 26/09/07)

With Shane Parker forced to withdraw from the forthcoming weekend's PLRC at Swindon, Tigers fans will have to wait until the end of the week to find out who will be representing the Stripes in the event.

Next in line is Craig Watson but although he will no doubt fancy his chances in the event at the Blunsdon track, he too was injured during the Redcar meeting. The Official Website has indicated that he will make a decision on Friday as to whether he is fit to ride.

Therefore Trent Leverington is on stand by in case Wato doesn't make it. Trent himself is only just back from a short absence following a head knock and pelvic injuries - received AT Redcar.

Whether its Craig or Trent, they will have the backing of a vocal Glasgow support with the Supporters Club taking a coach load down on the Saturday night for an overnight stay before Sunday's meeting.

We are fortunate in that we have riders of the calibre of Craig and Trent to step in if need be but you have to feel sorry for Shane who must surely have felt he was in with a shout at the title. Perhaps Craig or Trent can let him see it when they bring it back home!
