@Neila any truth in Bailey already signed a contract for a different team?

Real shame, he's going to be a phenomenal rider.

There was an article on Connor in last weeks SS, he said winning the championship was “a good way to sign off” at Workington. He enjoyed it there and enjoyed riding in front of the Workington fans. I take it that he’ll be elsewhere.

If Workington are running on Sundays and Connor wants to race in Poland it might prove difficult.

Probably will be sat or Sun but this will still cause problems for some clubs if they have riders in Polish division 1 or 2 who ride on Saturday,  they will have missing riders,

The new Polish rules restricting riders at 6&7 in all 3 leagues to just Polish, will restrict some younger Brits,Aussies and other non-Polish riders from team places!/

The British leagues should be having British youngsters at 6+7 also British U24 in the team, instead of all the foreign riders imo

Shame that you would have got him in on a 5.

I am sure we would’ve helped on an advisory basis too make this happen.

A few years back Prem & Champ teams both had to have 2 x Brits in their sides, but that ruling lasted about ONE season. Shame clubs can't agree to keep rules like that long term.

Like usual some clubs can't see the long term benefits,  they wanted to change things as it didn't suit certain clubs !!
