Only if the supporters buy him a race suit.  So if no one does this he doesn't sign??? 

 

Not convinced we need (want?) him.  

Can you imagine a footballer not signing for a club till the fans buy him a new pair of football boots  :D

Sounds like begging to me ...

Our club in pretty unique in so much as, our fans actually like to be involved and will do anything we can to keep our club afloat.

We do so willingly because we want to, not because anyone begs us. The promotion keep us involved by asking for help with things like this.

It might be a problem to you, but it isn’t to us

Good to see Richie fixed up but you have got to hand it to Edinburgh, if they start slow as they have this season generally there promotion get the changes right more often than not.

Makes them dark horses I would say and I can see us really struggling to get in the play offs.

Does it really matter if he appears in a red & white Tigers racesuit, given that he would be wearing a Monarchs race jacket over them?

Well when he had his brilliant guest performance for us when we won at Scunny late last Season, he was  wearing  yellow & green kevlars.

Wonder what happened to them :rolleyes:

BTW does anyone know when the signing deadline for team changes is (mid July?) as I am  wondering if there is sufficient time for any released riders to  be signed on by another club?

If we move mark and ruml on plus the points we have to play with being under the limit it leaves us 10.61. 

With worrall being one of them that leaves us with 3.03 for another reserve. 

Clegg maybe on his premiership average of 2.00 don’t know what the calculation is for getting his PL average. But would certainly score at home and pick up the odd point away.

The yellow and green ones are his Rawicz ones.

Mid August this year. I think it is signed by the 12th then 3 days later to be checked & confirmed for the 15th. Injured riders can retake their place at any time after.

Clegg has a championship ave of 4.15 pretty sure they would have to use that but can only ask the BSPA. If you can get him on a 3 they can only say no what about gary flint heard he. Wants to make a comeback #letflintyride lol

Masters would have to come in on his EL average converted sure Jorgensen had to do the same when he joined Redcar I’m sure.

As frustrating as he was at times he’s very capable of scoring 5/6 points a meeting at home plus had the occasional good meeting away even though the majority of the time away from home he was awful.

And this year he hasn't been very good, even in the NL. He seems to lack the necessary hard edge.
