phillwhitewasmad Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Personally hope Mickie Simpson gets a chance probably best of the never tried riders without a team place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have a feeling that Chris Widman has retired to concentrate on his Butchers business and personally I am not sure about Mickie Simpson from what I have seen in British Youth series he seems to crash a lot and also his equipment looks like needs investment although he is quite an accomplished Grasstrack rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No less thanks to people who slated my family on here relentlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Maybe he could do a double signing and ride for the Cubs and supply the burgers & sausages that currently taste like cardboard) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringitsneck Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I’m hearing that the Cubs are to run with R/R for Halder for 28 days, ( I’ve been told this by a rider who has NDL experience from 2019 and is still looking for a place ) then so much for helping the youth as there’s still lads available that ( like my contact ) would jump at a place to show their ability. Poor decision by the club and governing body. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor decision by the club and governing body. I could be very wrong but, if he hasn't rode an official match for the club, you can't use r/r. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I am wrong. I believe you are correct in your statement. However at the express decision of the BSPL a facility can be used for a 28 day period. When that period starts or finishes can be adjusted depending how far up the food chain you are. I understand Coty Garcia is stuck in Argentina as they are in lockdown so Berwick will also have a facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringitsneck Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Whilst ‘ established ‘ riders of Garcia’s standard may be harder to replace I still think R/R should not even be allowed in the NDL especially considering the outcry regarding riders being put out of teams due to the new lower points limit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotteringAround Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Pathetic decision to allow Leicester to flout the rules. We're supposed to be limiting the replacement facilities to give newcomers a chance, yet before a wheel is turned it has all gone out of the window. If they'd lost a high averaged rider and there were no similar replacements available, you could half understand it. But they've lost a 4-point man. There's plenty of 3 pointers who'd be an adequate replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Leicester had actually agreed terms with another rider but he has now broken his hand practicing so no replacement could be found for the start of the season, Leicester are also unable to use Ben Trigger for the first couple of meetings as he doesn’t turn 15 until the end of May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
