Many have contracts in place long before the AGM. Of course, if they are on the retained list of another promoter you need their permission first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that begs the question why Flint still qualifies when Kemp doesn’t, as I think they’ve both been in the scheme the same number of years, and both are a similar age? Could well be a 41 point limit clubs are working to.. I don't know the criteria, but Drew Kemp turned 21 in August, Leon won't be 21 til next year...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birmingham aren't even sure if they are running at all atm!! Oxford's greyhound schedule for 2024 has just been announced, including Thursday afternoons so they would have to go Mondays!!? Not sure how that would go down? Edited November 8, 2023 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBH I don't really see what the problem is with discussing with a self employed rider , their availability to work elsewhere in the future. Yet another example of this ridiculous asset system that is completely unfit for purpose Unable to give this a like but couldn't agree more.

It's been quite well documented that Bomber was not comfortable riding the B.P. circuit and said so himself in a post match interview with Rob Sensicall. Richie made no secret of the fact that he wanted to be back at Leicester, and don't forget that the riders' averages had a big part to play in forcing Stewart's hand in having to change things around. You are correct but Harris leaving did not help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
