Dandelion Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Good luck to the young lad. Who will be Buxtons final signing? 8.33 points left. Logic would say an 8 point average, but knowing Pipe probably a 3 point rider, the other Basford maybe? Ben Bastard What about Lee Payne? He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Unfortunately there are no available riders on or around the 8 point mark - feel free to correct me though. As for Lee Payne think you will see him back at Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Bastard What about Lee Payne? He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Hi Dandelion We have 8.29 to play with, but like Jayne says, there is just no riders available. I've spent many hours chatting to riders on Facebook, on the Phone and by going to see them in Person. There's no Heat Leaders and no 2nd Strings available. I've even tried riders who haven't raced for a few years! Unfortunately all we have left to choose from is 3.00 point or 3.00 + riders, which is not ideal when your needing to bring in a Heat Leader! Unless a rider becomes available, unexpectedly, then I'll have to try and make sure I get this other 3.00 pointer right. The Current plan is for me to attend Scunthorpe, Northside, Redcar and Peterborough regular, up until near the start of the season and speak to one or two people and look to see who's about and draw up a shortlist. Maybe I can unearth a newbie to the Sport? Over the coming weeks and liaising with Jayne, I'd like to draw up a short list of around 4 or 5 3.00 pointers and invite them along to Buxton's Press & Practice on Sunday 9th April to see how they can handle our track? We need these riders to see our track first before we do a deal with anyone. Last season we put in Ryan Burton, who had never seen the track before and he struggled so much with the track and we need to learn from that. This may be a bit 'Old School', but I believe this is the best way to go about this. Up to now, this is how the Buxton team will line up... 1 Matt Williamson 9.49 2 Lee Geary 3.00 or Shelby Rutherford 3 Tom Woolley 4.90 4 Shelby Rutherford 4.45 or AN OTHER 5 Lee Dicken 5.87 6 Lee Geary or AN OTHER (3.00) 7 Carl Basford 3.00 If a Heat Leader or a 2nd String suddenly becomes available, then Shelby will to at Number 2 and Lee Geary at 6.

boroboy25471 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 David Howe ? Richard hall ? David Howe has retired from League Speedway. Richard Hall isn't eligible to race both Championship and NL. Plus both averages are too high to fit in. We only have 8.29 to play with.

TurnTwo Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Can clubs name a rider then not use him e.g. Name ellis perks use him for a couple of meetings and get a guest up to his avg for all the other matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 But what would be the point in that? Maybe Adam extance would have been a good call I read somewhere perks wasn't interested in riding all 3 leagues but they could just do a deal with him where he rides as and when and then they use a guest? If the rules allow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter sutcliffe Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 this would be quite some team if there is another 8 point heat leader, adam allott would be a good guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 James Shanes, although he's busy with long track & grass track quite a few weekends - could use a guest when not available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchfield aces Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 James Shanes, although he's busy with long track & grass track quite a few weekends - could use a guest when not available James Shanes is a 'no-go' his average is too high (8.53) Buxton have only (8.29) as a balance Ellis Perks at (8.25) would fit nicely but he has said no to riding in all 3 leagues, who they go with must now be a major headache, Luke Chessell(8.09) would fit, but is he available? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Can clubs name a rider then not use him e.g. Name ellis perks use him for a couple of meetings and get a guest up to his avg for all the other matches I can't believe this should even be allowed let alone considered ,people keep banging on about how much this league is for young riders etc so use them and ban r/r and guests in national league all together Edited February 3, 2017 by THE DEAN MACHINE 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boroboy25471 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Tim webster? Tim's average is too high and he told me yesterday that he's not in a position to ride at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman27 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I would agree with getting rid of r/r, but not guests as only nl riders can guest for NL teams so guests do help the progression of riders as your giving more track time and investment, rather than having no rider at all as a rider cant be their because of doubling up or is injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I can't believe this should even be allowed let alone considered ,people keep banging on about how much this league is for young riders etc so use them and ban r/r and guests in national league all together I don't think it's allowed per se but the absent rule allows for it and I'm not sure getting rid of the absence rule is an option. I agree with the R/R rule it shouldn't happen in this league the lord knows riders are scratching around for rides if the don't DU but the R/R rule had to be brought in because of the absence rule. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
