Congreve gets away with it on b hence he was signed on a 4.50 for NL. Strangely didn't have English grandparents when he signed for Newcastle but thats a whole other story.

Answers on a postcard. But if he is "British" he'd be on a 3.00 average like Dayle Wood & Luke Killeen, the fact he signed on a 4.50 average for Mildenhall, means he was on the correct average for Newcastle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You miss my point. He has British Grandparents, which means, surely, he should have been on a 2 at Newcastle, rather than the 4.00? Anyway, this has little to do with Plymouth vs Berwick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Good to read Mark Phillips advocating switch to Saturday Racing in the Star this week. Very logical as they had a thriving kids set up in NDL on Friday nights and actively sought and got decent family sized groups in. Only Berwick now in CL on a Saturday so scope to pull in crowds not only from all over SW but further afield OK the M5 can be a "car park" on a Saturday but by late afternoon it's generally a lot quieter. Good luck to him as no one works harder. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it means he would start in the CL on a 4.00. Having British grandparents only grants him an ancestry visa, it doesn’t grant him a British passport. Even now he would start on a 4.00 in the CL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Berwick have had a good few riders over the years who have combined quite a few overseas commitments with regular Saturday racing .....

Ryan Douglas left Leicester cos they rode Saturday's when in the Champ though. That was my thinking. I'm sure some riders will be able to do Saturday. But the top end ones will prefer not to ride every Sat cos of Polish fixtures. Maybe that is why Berwick have a gap in fixtures as other teams can't get riders to commit to some Saturday's?
