Is Micky Dyer an option? I know he's an aussie but does he fit into dual-nationality so he can do NL?

 

Unforunatley Mickey hasnt got dual nationality so isnt an option which is a real shame - if he had i would imagine he would have been in the team from the start of the season.

:unsure: whats happened to danny warwick :unsure:

 

Didn't get a team place over the winter, though he was looking for one. Currently mechanicing for Renat Gafurov, but as far as I know, would love a chance to get back on track racing.

In a similar boat (without, currently, a paddle...) is Tery Day...

Someone could make a useful team out of all these out of work riders... :rolleyes:

Why, there's even an (unused..) track I can think of...!! :neutral:

My post copied from Cradley forum

 

Right, having sat back and thought it through a couple of options present themselves. In the absence of a full 2011 rules and reg's book I may be coming to some wild conclusions. The new rolling averages have come in to play for those that have done enough meetings. Joe Haines is listed on the BSPA website as having a 2010/11 PL RA of 3.43. Assuming a conversion rate of x2 that makes his NL average, if it becomes applicable, 6.86. He is by far the best option I can find as a straight replacement for Roynon, and leaves us .91 under the points limit. A similar alternative would be Newman but I think he's an Aussie? Next up would be Charles Wright who would be 7.34, but I'd prefer Haines.

 

Baseby has been mooted by many on his NL ave 6.93 and/or Danny Warwick on 7.41. Each of these could do a solid middle order job.

 

Anderson has been mentioned too but unless the rules have changed he could not come back in, even if he could be tempted over, without permission from the MC under rule 17.4.3 (preventing a rider in last seasons 1-7 but not in the initial declaration being re-introduced).

 

James Birkinshaw is another to have been mentioned and could certainly do a job at this level. In fact, given his link to Bham I was a little surprised he wasn't with us last season. He doesn't fit as a direct replacement. His last average in the NL was 8.42. To bring him in we would need to release another rider which could leave room for the like of Wrathall, Dallaway or Young.

 

Thoughts?

 

Additional

 

What average would Simon Walker be on?

 

p.s. Dyer would be in the same boat as Anderson re: rule 17.4.3 even if he were otherwise eligible.

So following the announcement of the signing of Kyle Newman, who goes ? and who comes in to replace the rider who is unfortunate to lose his place, the guy who is going wont be Darryl Ritchings as if he went the Heathens would i believe still be above the points limit, so the goings and comings continue.

Indeed. Danny Stoneman for Luke Chessell.
