Tsunami Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) On 2/8/2020 at 6:48 AM, screm said: I get the reason why Leon has been stopped from riding for Newcastle but it's two different competitions and as long as there was no fixture clashes I would've thought a young rider getting track time would be encouraged rather than blocked. Rules have been changed from the published ones at Xmas. A rider now can't ride for 2 teams (Leon already signed for Armadale) so Newcastle have acted quickly and signed David Wallinger. Not a youngster, but he is a very experienced rider who, from observation, is very helpful and encouraging for our younger team members.

That's not the reason I heard Dave but putting that aside, wouldn't you have thought that it might make a little bit of sense to carry the rules through until the end of the season? Any tinkering, amendments or changes can be thought of during the season and brought in for the following season or on a specific date and, not just on a whim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would be common sense you would have thought. But it is the BSPA. No doubt there's something about getting more riders involved rather than doubling up with youngsters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that too, but with only 3 home & 3 away NT matches, it won't take up much of his time!

Yes. It's a good chance to put himself in the window if there is a vacancy somewhere. The fact both David and the Newcastle Gems are Northern is good, and it's only 6 meetings plus friendlies.

I think he was a Newcastle guest when I saw the Bandits race there last year. He didn’t do too badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
