Thought Armadale Devils had changed their name to Edinburgh Monarchs Academy as they wanted to develop young riders? Shocking that they've kicked a young kid out, so that they can build Dad's Army with Roynon, Clegg and Wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the numbers game has cost Mickie a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Awful swap, going to be batterings like last year now. Parker was behind Fellows in his only league appearance and Fellows isn't close to ready either. Its now going to force either Lyden or the waste of a team place Aussie up in the 1-5 where they will score even less than they got at reserve. Question.....as Simpson is due to drop to a 3.00 on 9/6 does that still happen or is he saddled with his departing average or 4.46? Also interesting wording on the press release "Max's current NDL average is 11.83. To accommodate this in the team, Mickie Simpson makes way for the time being with Cumbrian newcomer to the sport Mark Parker coming into the side on a 3.00 average." It was certainly always the case that you couldn't be re-declared into a team during the same season Edited June 7, 2023 by Sings4Speedway added a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson drops to 3.00 from 9 June. Parker could be in for 14 days until they kick him out and reinstate Simpson.

Needs to mark way just now to bring in a number 1 however another 2 days and we’ll just need to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Yep found it....thats a nice rule open to so much manipulation. So Simpson can sit out the Leicester Home and Away meetings (or be number 8/AR) then be redeclared into the team in time for Berwick at home.......and they wonder why people tire of the nonsense....

"A rider taken out of a team cannot be re-introduced in that team within 14 days" obviously depending on when the declarations go through etc but Leicester away is 24th June so mighty tight. But he could be an AR for Edinburgh (or i really hope he ends up guesting for Leicester in place of Foord for the two meetings ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Clegg has a "recent" CL average of 5.06 from 1/6 so wouldn't his NDL average be twice that? I do remember though that when Cook signed for Ipswich a few years ago that after he had ridden for Kings Lynn he should have got a new PL average from, I think from memory, 1st June but still signed on his May average after signing on or around 7th June as that was the press release so for ratification purposes, signed after 1st June on about the 4th. No body at that time explained how or why they managed to do it. RULES eh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he could be an AR for Edinburgh (or i really hope he ends up guesting for Leicester in place of Foord for the two meetings ) Well obviously the redeclaration to fit Clegg in must be done at some point before 9 June, so 14 days after will be 23 June at the latest. Seems the fiddle can be done in time for the Leicester meeting. Pretty sure it used to be the case that someone removed from a 1-7 could not be reintroduced the same season, to prevent this sort of fiddle. Not sure how you think Simpson could be an AR for Edinburgh. None of the top 5 are injured, so I don't see any benefit in leaving one of them out.

Think you can name AR at any point this season not just if running RR and they can take any rides so in theory could take a ride each for Lyden, Wood and Parker.....you would fancy Simpsons chances to get a decent return in heats 2,8 & 14.

As Clegg rode in the NL last year, I was expecting him to sign on his 11+ average. Edited June 7, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
