sorry , but you are wrong .
any British rider who rode in the number 7 spot in the old premier league is still eligible to ride in the number 7 spot in 2017 .
its on the unofficial comets website . this is run by the commercial manager of the comets . it is official and in next seasons rules .
the number 7 spot has to be occupied by a British rider , but as long as he rode in that position before , he can ride there .
so matt will be riding with his old partner mason or royno . so it looks like a decent reserve pairing and could be even better if we sign dan bewley as he will be at reserve as well . ( but i dont think that will happen )
so rule books out and a good read in bed !
