No. He's only signed for Edinburgh's Championship side, not their NDL team I'd expect him to be at Leicester for NDL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rule changes are subject to SCB approval. That didn't answer my comment, I said I hadn't seen a rule saying only one Champ rider per NL team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence Max Perry not being allowed to ride for the Cubs because he has signed for Poole if Joe Thompson remains a Cub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Plymouth won't make the play-offs, or later KOC / BSN rounds, so they've only got 11 home matches themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompson confirmed. Perry left out. Butcher will be there and a 3.00 rider until Cairns turns 15. James will surely be in, and probably Spencer. Foord is worth 3.81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
