Didn't CVS say that Howarth starts on his EL average?

Ayres and Chapman were given special dispensation by the BSPA this year to double-up by virtue of them only recently starting the sport. So this may be extended to Payne.

So under 2015 regs he isn't eligible to double-up (by virtue of being over 25), so he is no longer eligible for the NL and therefore isn't eligible for the number 7 role. So are we to assume a rule change that we haven't been told about?

So how does that work if, for example, King's Lynn's 4th meeting is away on a Monday and then have a home meeting on Wednesday but they had to declare their line-up to the away team 5 days (or whatever the actual number is) prior. But then the averages change, so would the riding order also change?

Yes you can.

Surely Kerr, Rose and a 3 pointer will complete the team at 42.41?? And that looks a good team imo!

Yeah, he turns 16 next September.

More than a rumour. Applied to the league to join, last week!

Riders on an average over 9 could still ride, he was using it as an example. You can't have a limit over 40 as it would make a 12 team league far too uncompetitive. 40 is the max it can go to imo. But I'd prefer 38 or 39 and I think we're looking at 37-39.

Fair play to him/them if that's the case. He's got plenty of time on his side. Rumours that he wanted/got EL heat leader money when he moved up last year and left Peterborough over money would suggest he/they think he's ready.

I hope it's Scunthorpe as he's a delight to watch! But I guess Somerset or Plymouth again is more likely.

It's clearly a brilliant signing for the club and the fans, and for the PL in general that he's back, but from Lambert's point of view why would he refuse a Polish team place? Its not like he wouldn't have the choice of non-Sunday PL tracks.

Great news.

Have you signed Hall (4.04) to ride until Sissis (3.71) gets fit?

If you sign Lawson and Sarj comes back then Worrall doesn't fit.

They officially applied to the BSPA last week and will get the verdict at the AGM. Hopefully that's just a formality and everything else seems in order.

They need to be officially accepted at the NL AGM.

So if Coventry own Shuttleworth then, they'll want him back especially after an impressive year. But Greenwood, Carr, Knuckey, Shuttleworth, Dwyer, Walker & Halder equal 40.42 and I can't see the limit being that high, so at least one of them will have to miss out. Maybe swap Dan for Ritchings if the limit is 40, and they've signed Carr to become the new number 1 which he's more than capable of being.

Give Niall a run until Ethan finishes school? Unless Verge gets a run until then and reverts to number 8 when Ethan is in the team, but also rides midweek when Ethan can't. Confirmed where?

Don't you have enough 3 point options in Powell, Brennan & Spiller?

Did Coventry sign Shuttleworth as an asset last winter?

Great signing.

Category 4 states: having ridden NL as an amateur. So the rule itself infers that the NL is an amateur league, unless its a professional league filled with amateur competitors (by virtue of needing a second job to make a living). But by definition, doesn't that make it an amateur league!!

The trio said they weren't continuing but now they seem to have retracted that if they pull off the move to Monmore.

AGM is December 2nd.
