Also riders like Ben Wilson, Danny Ayres and Tom Perry and maybe even that blue man in my pic Rob Shuttlewor- Oh wait he's "banned"

Quite sure none of the three riders you mentioned will be eligible. Perhaps someone can quote the exact rule.

dont some if those mentioned have pl/championship averages ?

I think all 3 have at some time. In one of my previous posts, I said the riders that we could chose from would probably have an average similar to what Danny has got in the NL. All we have done is released a lad, by mutual consent?, that has struggled all year, only having 2 2nds & 7 3rds in 48 races at home on a track that he has ridden on numerous times in the past for the Saints. Even Drew Kemp(what a prospect) came here after having 2 poor scoring, rough track, meetings & notched up 12 paid 14 from  5 rides on our "bowling green" smooth surface.

 It seems a logical choice to drop a rider, shot of confidence in the mix with other riders, for a rider that will give it a go. Unfortunately, the throttle works both ways & it seems he shuts off into the 1st bend 1st lap & then tries to race. Having extra practice on his starting was never the issue. These have been comments given to me by friends on the 1st bend as I am further round the track.

To post on his website that we have stopped him getting another CL spot because we have released him after the cut off. He needs to look in the mirror & ask himself who would have signed him.

Nathan Stoneman, Tom Brennan or Mark Baseby would be best choices for me!

Lawlor, Jenkins & Kinsley could be added to that trio.

strange  i thought the payment problems were reported before the moving of race nights?  

Ha maybe!, but I never saw the so called problems being reported in the first place, it's all hear say and hush hush when it comes to this sport, just like attendances...
