    The only deadline is that the clubs have to log their team on the SCB portal 3 days before a meeting, hence him mentioning Wednesday. This is what he meant

    Ah thank you for the clarification, I’d misinterpreted that it was the league deadline today, makes more sense now why the postponement has given them more time.  
     

    Only thing is he did specifically say to allow them to enter the league? Sounded more than just the pre meeting declaration

    Plymouth have now cancelled their first 2 meetings.   They don't race until 10 April now, so at least that gives them another 10 days or so breathing space to find a new rider.

    No I’m not talking about them needing enough riders if they were riding Saturday. Mark Phillips has stated that the league have given them a deadline of today to declare a full team to be accepted into the league

    So today is the day that Plymouth have to sign a 7th rider to be allowed into the league. I’m assuming that even if it comes to it then they would sign a NL 2 pointer and then bring Nico back in once fully fit or a stronger rider if one became available

    According to Plymouth owner Mark Philips in his p&p interview (available on fb etc), the club has til Wednesday - 72 hours before their first fixture -  to make a signing in order to take their place in the League!!!

    So then it can’t be true that they can use guests up to 75% of Covatti’s average

    No facility allowed. 

    Ok so they literally have to sign someone even if it’s a 2 point national league rider?

    Is there a British rider without a team who could sign temporarily whilst they keep looking for a heat leader? I mean it gives that rider a chance to impress either Plymouth or another team for when a chance comes up to replace an injured or out of form rider?

    I guess Ben Morley is the obvious choice? Or maybe James Wright?

    Eddie Kennett says in this week's speedway star that he has not retired and is ready for a comeback,  but don't think average fits, thankfully :D

    Why thankfully? A proven heat leader at this level, especially in a weakened league

    I’ve seen him racing quite regularly on the Isle of Wight and yes he’s back to full fitness.  Tbh all the chat on here has proven that there is hardly anyone available on the right average so I’d give him a chance and then swap Covatti back in if it doesn’t work out

    So back to the topic at hand, with Plymouth set to host their first meeting at home to Poole in 3 and a half weeks. Will we have a new number one announced (temporary or permanent) and will the new look track be ready to go to give the Plymouth lads a chance to actually ride it before Poole do!? I see on the Plymouth forum someone suggesting the track won't be ready until May, not sure if that's true or speculation but maybe that would allow Covatti to be fit in time to prevent Plymouth needing a replacement?

    All very quiet at the moment, which isn't necessarily a good thing!

    Agreed, seems way too quiet but hopefully everything is in hand. Really hoping they have a better season. We’ve lost too many tracks in the South recently

    Highly doubt we could afford a GP rider, even if one could be tempted to come to Perry Barr !

    Maybe not for the whole season but for a month it could work? Could get the Brummies off to a good start and get the crowds in too?
