spin king Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 The idea of the Fast track reserves is to provide a way through for riders from the National League to Premier League. Â Its designed to provided opportunity for British riders to gain the chance to step up in the leagues rather than using lowly averaged foreign riders. Â One of the criteria to qualify is that a rider must have ridden in the National League for one season. Â Mitchell Davey can have a British passport, he can change his name to Hamish McDade and wear Union Jack boxer shorts, he still will not fit the criteria that allows him to gain one of the positions end of story. Â If he is allowed in then the rules have been relaxed and the whole exercise has been a waste of time. Â End of the day Davey will need to do a season in the National League to qualify.

tyretrax Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Sadly you're wrong. Only need to be eligible to ride N.L. not to have ridden N.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 What average did davey achieve in the pl previously surely that would still apply? Shown as 3.00 in the Edinburgh final GSA for 2013, it doesn't show how many matches he rode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I believe I read somewhere on this or another relevant thread that James Cockle was ineligible because of previous PL experience . So if Cockle ( who is actually British ) cant be considered why does anyone think Mitchell Davey can ? Cockle had a final PL GSA in 2012 of 3.47 hence why he is ineligible.  However Tom Perry had a final PL GSA of 3.53 with Somerset in 2012, which dropped to 3.00 in 2014 with Scunthorpe, which suggests that eligibility is based on a rider's most recent GSA, hence why Peterborough were permitted to declare him as their 2016 number seven.. Would depend what average He would be given if he was to ride in NL and double that would give him his pl average  You're making this up - kindly quote the relevant official regulation if true.

Alan_Jones Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 You're making this up - kindly quote the relevant official regulation if true.  19.8.1.2 A Rider will have an MA based upon their latest (attained during the seasons 2010 – 2014 only) NL or PL MA (multiplied by 2 and subject to a minimum / maximum converted MA’s being 3.00 / 12.00. Where a Rider has both a previous PL & NL MA, the highest will apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pl ave sorry would double to ride in NL But as he has not ridden in it he would be given an accessed average and if was over 6 he would not qualify to ride reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed ace Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Never read so much amateur speculation in my life!!!! Are the Edinburgh promotion so unprofessional that they would put an article in a newspaper, seven weeks before the season is due to start, without actually checking if this proposed signing would get approval? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Sad to read that, though I hope most fans of either team would be above all that and get to Armadale or Ashfield to support their team and have a good night out at the speedway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
