I believe there is a rule being brought out about riding in Championship and NDL with clubs being limited to just one rider that can do both leagues this is to prevent fixture clashes and trying to find guests. .So with Max already signed for Poole and Joe at a track the club had to make a decision and went with Joe as the solid number 1 hopefully Max will be back at Leicester at some point Nothing about this on either Poole's or Leicester's sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually like at least 1 strong reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Champ reserve gets injured, then the next best NL rider would have to give up his slot in order to race in the Champ? - mind you if a rule is ill thought out & not gonna work, probably means they'd vote it in lol! 4) now I'm sure this would never happen, but hypothetically Oxford's reserve gets injured, but because they have a chance of winning the NL they could choose not to use one of their own NL riders & take one from their nearest rivals to help them win the NL?

FishersGate Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Sad not to see Perry back as he's a classy rider. Although he will get a place somewhere else. He's too good not to. Probably Poole bound who knows. Joe Thompson will captain the side from what I'm hearing and rightly so. He's gonna need plenty of practice this year and he may as well do some extra laps at home to improve his prem form. No idea who the cubs will bring in but I expect Joe T, William Cairns to sign. Maybe Vinne Ford and Max James can be added to that as well. Could Spencer and Mickie Simpson return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entry criteria for NDL riders has been set such that no rider who has achieved a Championship average of 4.00 or above will be eligible to take part. Rule changes are subject to SCB approval.

My understanding is a deal was allegedly being sorted for him at CL level with a club and he went and sorted a deal at Poole (who believed they were getting an asset and splashed the cash to him) on his own without discussing it with Leicester. Ah The Winter Speedway Merry go round is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems someone forgot to tell Poole that was the case and they missed that weeks copy of the Star, they splashed the cash believing they were getting an asset, they'll now owe a loan fee to Leicester also.

No. He's only signed for Edinburgh's Championship side, not their NDL team I'd expect him to be at Leicester for NDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester have use of track 7 days a week so could easily fit them in you'd have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
