He’s allowed a maximum of two matches guesting for any team in the NDL. No go in the Championship. 

What a farce just let him ride.It’s not his fault that the Team dropped him,if he is happy to comeback and ride for them and his average fits let him ride,it better that the farcical rising star situation where Flint will be guesting for the highest bidder for the rest of the season( through no fault of his own,just through the ill thought out rules as usual)

Did the transfer deadline apply to the NL as well as the top two leagues?

If so, I can understand why the powers that be wouldn't allow William to sign for Armadale. Going beyond that, he is therefore not in a declared 1-7 and so can't guest in Championship or above.

If the deadline does not apply, then the decision would be illogical, albeit not completely unsurprising.

Nathan Greaves has a lot to answer for, leaving not one but two teams well and truly in the lurch. I hope he's proud of himself.

A bit harsh on Greaves,when your struggling  losing money and having a sh#t time,riding a speedway bike can’t be much fun.

I agree to a certain extent. Just unfortunate he retired after Monarchs dropped William Lawson. We can only use Leon Flint at reserve to replace Drew Kemp. So essentially going into play offs with 5 riders in our team with guest reserve and possibly R/R at 2

Could you not use Bickley has has his moments at Armadale?

Hi pal hope you are well.

Ouch! Personally I would say that if your heart and mind aren't totally in it then riding a 500cc monster probably isn't the best idea for you ir those you race with.

If he was struggling and losing money at the start of September, it follows that he was also struggling and losing money at the end of August.

Therefore, if he wished to quit, at least have the courtesy to do it before the deadline and give us a chance to replace him.

Good evening Mr Bagpuss.

For the avoidance of doubt, I did like Nathan Greaves. I was happy when we signed him. "He'll do a job" I thought. And he did for a while.

Seems like the crash at Beirut was the beginning of the end for him. Told you it was a second rate ploughed field :wink:
