SlicktrackSandy Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 3 hours ago, Mr Blobby said: He would sign for the club if his current club Oxford hadn’t banned him form signing for another team. Could such an imposition actually be even legal ? It's not the rider's fault he was dropped in favour of Boughen. If he is not required surely he would be free to seek employment elsewhere ?

I doubt been enforced but I assume what Oxford have said is we're planning you and boughen at reserve next season both on 2s. If you go sign for someone and get a proper average then the team place is gone. Whereas if he rides as NDL guest I don't believe his fixtures count towards an average. Edinburgh did the same with Edwards couple years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I feel for howarth I really do travelling all that way for a meeting you have zero chance of winning now,what’s the point same with Edinburgh all I can come up with is the club must get fined if they don’t take part. If that isn’t the case then what’s the point of risking getting hurt or ruining your machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 0310 looks keen. Quite a good pairing on paper, maybe not quite so good on track. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they have already scrapped the Fours which was hugely enjoyable at Peterborough and one of the season highlights for myself personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyfox Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 48 minutes ago, StevePark said: Might be cause for a separate thread... but.... is it time to scrap the Pairs? No. Just need to ensure that every team has a back up. Edinburgh must have foreseen this days ago and did nothing about it till it was to late.

szkocjasid Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Pretty embarrassing line ups by a couple of clubs. For Edinburgh's point of view there must have been doubt over Cook as he's missed quite a few meetings recently. This is no dig on Cook, as I can fully understand why. But I can't imagine any club going into a play-off final with a back up if they had riders possible returning from injury, so why should the pairs be any different?

Normal BSPL Staged Meeting pay rates of about 50 to 60 quid a point may have something to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
