The BSPL should work with the ACU to encourage a revival of ACU clubs to run Grasstrack meetings. Beg to differ, the 3 top riders from Cumbria came from moto X, one now a GP rider , one used to ride for Plymouth and the other is No 1 for worky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So then it can’t be true that they can use guests up to 75% of Covatti’s average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wont and shouldn't come to that, Plymouth will have the use of an NDL guest until such time they find a replacement for Covatti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to sign a rider will have sent the promotion round the u-bend but come the end of the season they are hoping to be flushed with success, maybe that is a pipe dream though. I`ll get your coat.

Are you sure? As far as I'm aware there's no such rule as a NL guest? If you're not allowed a facility it's 75% of the missing riders average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,159 Posted March 26 Got to feel for Plymouth, obviously running to a budget, can't pick a rider out of thin air, been soggy all winter while major track work has been going on, now still soggy and the track is struggling to dry out, then your 1st meeting on a bank holiday weekend against a side that will pull in the fans, home and away, now in doubt due to incomplete team and a dodgy track. Hope the meeting is on at the weekend as it could make or break the full season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
