How Many Riders Left

Recommended Posts

Think there are plenty of riders left. Mildenhall, Kings Lynn & Coventry are complete. Of the rest:

 

Cradley - awaiting the announcement of Basford to complete.

IOW - need one more second string.

Brum - 1 x HL 1 x second string

Stoke - 1 x second string 1 x reserve

Kent - 1 x HL 2 x second string

Belle Vue - 2 x second string 2 x reserve (1 will be Holt)

Eastbourne - 1 x HL, 2 x second string, 1 x reserve

Buxton - 1 x HL, 1 x Second string, 2 x reserve

Rye House - 7 (but all probably signed already)

 

Total - 4 x HL, 9 x second string 5 x reserve

 

HL - Morley, Ritchings, Owen, Knight yet to sign

SS - Could be a problem? Speight, Andrews, Dugard, Baseby, Widman still available

Reserves - 5 spots that could all be filled by MDL / NJL riders if required or the other handful of riders from this year who didn't improve upon 3 points.

 

Of the spaces available it might be Buxton who struggle to attract riders? As they seem to historically the rest including the new comers have shown they can lure big name riders with big tracks to ride on.

Just because riders haven't been announced don't think they aren't already sorted. As for Buxton the reason why we cant attract the big names is solely down to money and the fact that we wont bankrupt the club ,in doing so. However, we are here some 20+ years later so it cant all be bad and rest assured we have our riders in place just working on the announcements as I'm sure the other clubs are.

And Im sure Jason Pipe will do all he can to make sure Rutherford is in the Team as a reserve to begin with albeit on a 3.5 average. :wink: . ​
