It is very unlikely planning permission specifies which days of the week they can run. When there are restrictions it is usually in terms of number of times per week.

Basically don’t want his average being effected if he signs for a team to protect his average for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's only rider 3 matches for Oxford [1H/2A]. And as Edinburgh only had home matches left after 29 August he could have signed effective 31 August without any risk of getting an average. Edit: But it could have been a reason to stop him signing before the Plymouth fixture Edited September 15, 2023 by arnieg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macca 34 Posted September 15, 2023 Clearly Oxford calling the shots. Why would Killeen not sign to secure a championship spot, particularly when he’d just scored paid 8 points from 4 rides at the track before being replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
