So who is getting kicked out to accommodate Perry?

They've named these 7 so far.    Presumably they'll dump Wood or Watson?

 

 

Connor Coles   7.79
Max Perry   7.75
Sam McGurk   6.08
Dayle Wood   4.50
Mason Watson   3.93
Mark Parker   3.00
Kyran Lyden   3.00
     
    36.05

Delighted with that 1-7, reckon there will be improvement in all of the boys and we should hopefully be challenging at the top end of the table. Great effort :t:

And people wonder why the sport is seen as a joke!

It’s a development league. A 16 year old kid going to miss out cause of 0.05 of an average. Common sense for once has actually been used.

Personally think it's a brilliant decision to up the limit so max can get a team . Let's be honest none of the leagues teams would have built any different to what they did any way so it can't be a bad thing.

Scunny definitely not over paying based on what was offered and accepted by us. 10 more meetings is the key for us not money or a league title that really dont mean a great deal

Knowing the inner workings I’m guessing Luke’s CL place is subject to him competing in the NL team ??? but like you say it’s a few extra meetings.

Edinburgh joining the NDL have been the absolute worst, how do they have so much influence? 

We won't run if we can't have Hook, our teams garbage but if you up the limit a little we can squeeze in a half decent rider. Perry has been available all winter they could have just opted against Watson or Wood. 

Might not be the ones driving them into the NDL coffin but they have been providing plenty of nails.

No not at all deal for championship was complete before any mention of NDL we like every other rider believed there would be no league. when it was becoming apparent there would be a league he had other offers and chose Scunthorpe/Sheffield  as it's not a track juniors to ride very and often the majority of the meetings will be there.

Bit ironic that there is an agreement to increase the team building averages by 0.25 to allow a young British rider the chance to ride this year when there is an Australian in the team. 

8f we want to encourage young Brits do we need overseas riders taking places in the NDL?

They will have conceded something for this to come about ! Speedway teams rarely do anything altruistically ! Maybe Poole have been involved. Is he riding for them in the CL and they do have influence

Nobody is really bothered about the NDL will probably lose them money in some cases.Why did nobody sign Max on his average to start with don't quite get it.will the crowds flock to Armadale with this signing.

They were probably ‘told’ to get a 3 pointer but they had to prove there wasn’t one available !! Then maybe they threatened to pull out !

Got to wonder how many teams would have signed different riders if they had another 0.25 to play with?

On the other hand they are probably one of the best in the UK for trying to bring up young riders. Started the monarchs academy which now has over 10 riders all from the age of under 10 to around 12 years old. Have two teams in the northern junior league and we were one of the main teams pushing to continue the NDL but apparently we are the problem.
