No doubt that will be subject to some serious negotiation. By rights, as NeilWatson says the NDRC gets priority As stated in Reg 19.7.3. However Reg 19.7.4 It is mandatory for riders to appear in the NDL 4TT, NDL BP and NDLRC; riders will be suspended from their next 2 Home Meetings in contravention, subject to the Directors confirmation. Since belle Vue and Cradley have finished it's going to be difficult to enforce. The NDRC has already been postponed twice (when both riders WERE available. I'm sure there have been instances in the past where riders have missed a re-arranged NDL shared event to ride dor there senior team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the precedent was set to allow Richard Lawson to ride for Ipswich rather than Eastbourne, Eastbourne reported that “The usual protocols that guarantee that Premier have protected fixtures on a Monday and Thursday, and Championship have priority on all other days, have been rescinded and amended by the BSPA as an exception in the interests of the sport.” As you say, commonsense has Wright and Ostergaard in the North East if the cup final goes ahead next Sunday (it's currently a provisional fixture), but we will have to wait and see!

The wolves meeting is essentially a nothing fixture (supporters cup, already won by Swindon I believe). Like they did with Stevie Worrall? I wouldn't trust any rules, as they seem to be able to change them at a drop of a hat (in the interest of the sport, of course). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted October 13, 2019 Ben Morley missed a match at Peterborough for Lakeside last year to ride in the NLRC, wasnt it Josh Pickering that guested to score around 8pts when Morley got zero on his previous visit to the showground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
