screm 8,076 Posted January 30, 2016 Irrespective of what ever passport he will hold, I think Mitchel Davey is still a poor signing for Edinburgh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCookie 753 Posted January 30, 2016 Why criticise the Monarchs for signing Davey, go ahead and do it, he's crap anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 15 Posted January 30, 2016 Yes it would if there was a new British discovery who had never previously ridden in the NL, but was considered good enough to start directly in the PL. Who was he last rider to ride PL without having raced CL/NL before? Danny Bird is the only example I can think of. Ok then, "eligible for the NL and never started a season on an average of 5 or more" - stop any older riders blocking places too, not a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,843 Posted January 30, 2016 Why criticise the Monarchs for signing Davey, go ahead and do it, he's crap anyway! Irrelevant, it goes against what the system is trying to achieve. Its another example of the rule bending and loophole exploiting which makes British speedway such a joke. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,076 Posted January 30, 2016 Why criticise the Monarchs for signing Davey, go ahead and do it, he's crap anyway! But under the rules ( remember them ), or by exploiting some technicality, Edinburgh shouldn't be allowed to sign Davey, crap or otherwise. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,512 Posted January 31, 2016 Why criticise the Monarchs for signing Davey, go ahead and do it, he's crap anyway! As other people have said this issue is about the rules. But one thing I can assure you Mitchell is not 'crap'. he's been unlucky with injuries and if he gets some confidence he will do ok at Armadale. so if Edinburgh get him they'll have 2 good reserves whilst many team will only have one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAudi 147 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) As other people have said this issue is about the rules. But one thing I can assure you Mitchell is not 'crap'. he's been unlucky with injuries and if he gets some confidence he will do ok at Armadale. so if Edinburgh get him they'll have 2 good reserves whilst many team will only have one. I agree with this. Mitch is a nice guy and if he signs, I wouldn't be disappointed in having him, considering the rumoured lack of options we have who would want to come north every week. Really, he just has to score 3 points a meeting to have done his job well IMO, and I fully believe he will do that in the majority of meetings, even if it's just beating his opposite number a couple of times (he's fully capable of second in heat two aswell!) It maybe is slightly bending the rules but it's not completely breaking them. Also, as has been mentioned before, I can't see us relying on one rider and not be looking at other targets, so something else might crop up if someone changes their mind closer to the start of the season...

scotchopper 312 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) here , here . shame on Edinburgh for even thinking about this in the first place . shame on British speedway as well if this is to happen . You still fail to recognise that Edinburgh didn't agree with the rule and voted against it mainly because they know how difficult it is to find a 3 point rider who will travel and will do a decent job. Max clegg managed it last year but there is a longer list of riders who failled or turned it down. It was voted in so they have to above by the rule but as expected that is what happened so they found an option that works. Many of the number 7s will really struggle this year as they are not ready and for some it will do them more harm than good. Ironically because of this Mitchell will probably be a success.
