SteelShoe Posted March 26, 2024 Report Share Posted March 26, 2024 I wish Plymouth all the best in getting a rider signed, not a great predicament to be in for promotion and fans, got to feel for you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It wont and shouldn't come to that, Plymouth will have the use of an NDL guest until such time they find a replacement for Covatti.

Expand Trying to sign a rider will have sent the promotion round the u-bend but come the end of the season they are hoping to be flushed with success, maybe that is a pipe dream though.

Neila Posted March 26, 2024 Report Share Posted March 26, 2024 Got to feel for Plymouth, obviously running to a budget, can't pick a rider out of thin air, been soggy all winter while major track work has been going on, now still soggy and the track is struggling to dry out, then your 1st meeting on a bank holiday weekend against a side that will pull in the fans, home and away, now in doubt due to incomplete team and a dodgy track. Hope the meeting is on at the weekend as it could make or break the full season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted March 26, 2024 Report Share Posted March 26, 2024 (edited) Looking at photos on Facebook it was more like major reconstruction to extend the track, well done Plymouth for doing this, but think the soggy winter has caught them out a bit, just hope it's dry in the next few days . Forecast windy and showers so hopefully the track will dry out before Saturday Edited March 26, 2024 by Neila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted March 26, 2024 Report Share Posted March 26, 2024 Didn't wolves get the 75% guest facility for Becker, and James wright at Birmingham too?

Looking at a list of these riders from what I can see aren't already riding on Saturday; Castagna Heeps Atkins Lambert Mountain Knudsen Bailey etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
