One thing for sure if Plymouth sign everybody that has been mentioned they will need a clean sweep in ALL competitions to pay the bills and maintain crowd levels, or they might finish up like a certain club this winter.Has Bowden got a new motto this season "speculate to accumulate"

With Bowdens reputation it could be Barker or Fisher!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of curiousity what track was it(Trelawnly perhaps)?

I tend to agree that "assessed" foriegners should keep their assessed average till they reach it,it would encouragePromoters to stick with young Brits for a couple of seasons if they are progressing.

You can suppose anything you like,that is your opinion

Audacity is not the right word, I don't make the rules and you think the your opinion regarding the rules is the correct one, which is not the case.

Roynon is past N/L standard and is simply keeping a young Brit out of aTeam Place IMO and probably costing a little more regarding points money,simiiar to the Barker & Gjedde situation regarding P/L places.

I agree that if there is to be d/u it should be for British riders only.

Haven't a clue,Averages and stupid rules are just killing the sport IMO,can see why fans just walk away and new fans just think its a joke .sport.Doubling-up and in Roynon's case Trebling-up should be banned IMO.

I was under the impression that if your EL average was over 6pts your were not allowed to double up unless you rode in the PL in 2011(Barker and Gjedde being examples) Fisher was 6.01.

Could be wrong but Idon't think he can double up.

Fisher might have been at desperation time!!

Yup! +1lb Aberdeen Angus Steak and a Dozen Anderson's finest Scotch PIes

That would appear to be correct assumption!

The difference being that Gjedde HAD signed to ride for Berwick.Thats my wooden Spoon away now

I think everyone is getting a bit carried away just because Ashworth is not going to Plymouth.Berwick would have had their own plans in place before this happened and he would not have been part of them then IMO,So why should he be part of them now?Just because his average might fit.

I take on board what you are saying,Berwick promotion will make the judgement on what they know no doubt,I'm sure they will make the right decision.

"that Bowden changed his contract" I assume.

Don't think you have missed anything, some people doing the 2+2 maths and coming up with an answer which is probably wrong. If Berwick were interested surely Ashworth would want the whole season ,Berwick have already stated that Kozza wil lbe back when fit.(given that he is not out for the season,which might well be the case)

Mon the Fish could be the one as Bowden states his search for rider is proving a bit expensive. .Bowden's reputation will go against him when trying to find quality riders IMO.

Phil Pratt possibly

I think it means in a"doubling-up "capacity.Think if the rider was only doing PL he can ride. Could be wrong though.

At least the wannabees in PL are putting in a bit of effort to earn some money,unlike the EL star who are just topping up their Polish and GP earnings without 100% commitment in some cases.

I think a lot of your asumptions are incorrect IMO (being polite)

As a Glasgow assett they will be entitled to money for him whether on loan or transfer.Glasgow have already indicated that he will not be there next year.
