So where does all of this put Sheffield now? as I,m lead to believe that the bates's can,t promote both teams in the same league?

There will be a puppet on a stick nominally fronting one club....

Can't they? Berwick and Oxford are in the same league! They have same promoter. 

Courtney is not the Promoter at Berwick.He is a director on the Board of Berwick Promotions.Flint and Dews hold the BSPL Club licence.

Damien Bates promotes Sheffield. Leicester is promoted by Marc Bates & Stewart Dickson

As per each club's website, Damien listed as a Sheffield promoter, Marc listed by Leicester.

riders dictate where they want to ride you can't force a rider to ride for you if he doesn't want to !! from NSS to Leicester what a come down that would be for any rider :nono:

I know that but still need to sort out a loan fee with Poole is all I meant. Also BV don't really have any say if he goes to Leicester. Personally think he is trying to cut down on weekly travelling as still staying at Middlo's.

Perhaps he feels he needs a change?

Anyway you won't fit him in once you've signed Lambert, Bewley & Fricke.....

No idea how the team will line up but we can guess. I expect Dan Thomson at reserve next season in the prem. He would be a useful weapon at home and has improved this season. Just needs more experience. Not sure if Connor Mountain would stay again, he's an asset but not sure Dan n Connor would be strong enough at reserve next year. Definitely could see Richie Worral staying, he loves Leicesters track and would be an ideal number 2. Not sure if Nick Morris would come as he's been at Wolves and seems to do well there. Richard Lawson is a great shout. Josh Pickering would be decent too. Scott Nicholls would be a welcomed with open arms as well. But we really need a few big names to make this work . It's a huge gamble to move away from Saturday nights which proved successful on/off the track. So the team has to be good to keep the locals happy.

Is Bates one of the directors on the board? I think the connection implied was if BV let Leicester have Brady next season then they will reverse their decision. Bit of a clutching at straws suggestion mind you!

Although if Poole own Brady then between Poole, Brady and Leicester anyway! 

As you said Belle Vue don't own Brady so Leicester have to speak to Poole, although a rider will go where he wants so don't really need permission from any club.  As for Lambert bates had no choice to in the matter, the lawyers saw to that.  Also just to add surely there should be a rule that you can't own or be on the board of 2 clubs in the same division.
