crescent girl 1,907 Posted September 20, 2023 There's a bit of a grey area regarding the fixture clash with the NDLRC at Worky........ While CabDirect Championship matches usually take precedence over NDL-level events, the NDLRC is (I presume) a BSP Ltd "purchased Event" and the rule-book says: 010.5 FACILITIES A team may utilise a facility to cover the absence of a rider(s) who is: - e) engaged elsewhere at a BSP LTD shared or purchased event. Which I think -- only think -- means the nominated riders from Redcar and Oxford will be at Northside........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey is in Poland and Harrison is only a guest for Redcar anyway. It’s just a case of if Jenkins and Atkins are willing to take a one match NDL ban to represent Oxford in the Championship 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted September 20, 2023 There must be some BSPL pressure to get this meeting done as I can’t believe anyone would agree to this fixture with all the above riders missing. Feel sorry for the Oxford fans paying to watch this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,107 Posted September 20, 2023 I can’t see may Bears fans bothering with the stream in the circumstances. To keep up with the spirit of it, I’ll see if I can get a guest to watch it for me instead. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnus 80 Posted September 20, 2023 Bit of a quandary for Oxford! Will Jenkins and Atkins ride in the NDLRC and take a ban? Or will the powers off speedway do something to alleviate it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly 172 Posted September 20, 2023 I'd be amazed if Jenkins and Atkins don't line up for the Cheetahs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,044 Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Where has the talk of a 1 match ban being given to Jenkins & Atkins come from? I've never heard of that rule? I'm sure in previous seasons the NLRC is the only event that gets priority over the higher leagues, but I kinda expect to see Jenkins & Atkins racing for Oxford, with Kinsley & Killeen / Scott racing in the NLRC. Even if that's not a rule Edited September 20, 2023 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if that's not a rule SR 15.9 refers to the ban. SR 13.3 gives the NDLRC priority over higher fixtures. Edited September 20, 2023 by NeilWatson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it that missing a3rd Tier Riders Championship can result in a ban ,but missing a Championship Riders Final because you are on holiday doesn’t.Plus Couple of others had an excuse.There is a rule that it doesn’t have to be your Top riders though.

Bellers101 347 Posted September 20, 2023 Riss also scheduled to be riding in the long track nations meeting on the 24th. If all these riders are missing I can't get my head around why it's taking place on this date or why anyone is expected to pay £20 to watch it. Farce, joke sport! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
