    What it does Andy as you well know because it worked for you (Luke) is that the team missing a res now can cherry pick a res from another team who is flying and yet again a rider trying to get a 1st chance like billy and others won’t be asked, stinks, and you know it, denials only add to the problem, it’s a joke, develop not stagnation, if you are missing a res for god sake who cares, put a kid in, if they are tailed off so what, at least they have had a chance and can assess themselves going forward 

    Finally we have got to the point

    Cause you can’t put 10 year olds in the NDL on a 125cc can you.

    Also no local riders riders available, obviously you’ve not got much of a clue.

    More of a clue than you think no local riders beg to differ just not the ones you don't want

    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.

    If your that good why sign riders from so far away

    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? 

    Why change the whole league just drop the lads average sorry reassess

    I'm certainly not very excited about the NL this year. When I look at the teams I don't see a lot of riders & think to myself, wow that's a team with lots of potential, I more think, there's a bunch of riders who aren't good enough / haven't improved enough / will never make it into the Champ.

    Having riders racing for a hobby, or Career NL second strings / reserves actually never bothered me in previous years, really when they kinda screamed it's a DEVELOPMENT league to us this year, I see all the flaws of their plan. To me it just looks a very weak league.

    Obviously Max Perry not getting a team spot greatly annoys me, a 16 year old in his first Champ season is exactly the sort of rider the NL should be designed for imo. After two seasons in the NL, it's sink or swim for him in the Champ. I mostly blame Leicester for this, signing Joe T over Perry goes against the new "ethos" of the league imo.

    Two points is there anything wrong with riders that aren't going to make the big time just riding in a league for fun and did Perry want a NDL place
