If a rider hands in a sick note for one or two days I believe they should automatically be stood down from racing for seven days. That'll largely make the piss takers think twice but unfortunately will be to the detriment of the odd genuine one. However something needs to be done.

Good idea. Or make it that you miss your teams next home meeting (if you are doubling up that alternates between the leagues).

This obviously will be ignored if the rider takes ill just before a meeting with a doctor seeing that it's genuine.

They could also make it that the rider is banned from guesting for the week after.

im happy for glasgow fans as they were alwaysgood friendly fans

but now all other clubs have to try compete with the glasgow promotion

which is a negative in the current climet

Everything goes in cycles. Back in the early 2000's Glasgow and most others couldnt compete with Worky in the same vein as they underwent a renaissance. We ended up selling you Rusty Harrison, Aidan Collins, and Les I think. You won the bidding war for Simon Stead and money seemed no object. However nothing lasts forever and we will enjoy our time now just as you did then.

We know, hence he is not expected to be retained. Turned up at Workingtons' end of season dinner allegedly which might hint at his next Championship destination.

there were rumours mid season bewley would be at workington next year

and as he lives only a few miles from workington its not really that strange he was there

The rule's already there and available for use at the MC's discretion as it was in the case of Craig Cook.

All good and well but no other club has the finances available like Glasgow to run or promote their club in the way they do. Taking nothing away from the job they are doing but no all clubs can afford to promote their clubs on such big scales.

Pull the other one. How much time, effort and money does it take to use social media properly? Glasgow do a great job of it. Its free if you really want it to be all he way up to pay a dedicated person 30k a year.

 

How many clubs interact on twitter? How many clubs set up events for people to be invited to on Facebook? How many have an app that pops up notifications on people phones about news, signings and results?

 

All so easy and can be done very cheap.

The problem there is discretion. It should be automatic and beyond the influence of the key promoters IMO.

No Schlein must mean the Starke rumour is true. Glasgow team now obvious.

 

R. Worrall, Harris, Starke, Kerr, Lunna, Sarjeant & a 2 something rider. More than likely Jack Smith.

Adam Roynon turned up at Newcastle's Dinner Dance a few years back. It didn't mean to say he was going to sign though.
