Mr Blobby

I’m with you now. Completely misread it 😂 Going to put the beer down now. 😁

You can only pick 2 riders and we’ve picked 2 from our actual academy. So not entirely sure what you’re on about. 😂

The rider coach thing is just a cop out for having him in the team. it’s a job for the boys kind of thing as he’s in with club there.

4 not 5, but the club does struggle to get brits to travel up to us here at Edinburgh that are of a standard which is good enough. Hence having to go down a different route. We do have the Monarchs speedway academy which has plenty of youngsters in attendance, just not old enough as of yet to compete apart from one who turns 15 this month but is too soon for him ride NDL. Give it a couple more years and hopefully we’ll have 2/3 Scots in that line up.

Lynn in the NDL

So the Academy have Announced their 7 for the new season, with 4 new faces and 3 old ones. 3 brits and 4 fake ones, with one being the sister of Jordy Loftus Jordy Loftus Dayle Wood Connor Coles Vinnie Ford Jamie Halder Ben Whalley Anika Loftus Interesting looking line up that should do well. Slightly disappointing the lack of actual brits but it can be a bit challenging to get them to travel this far.

It did yes.

didn’t realise that means I now need to hate him. 😂

The places he rejected last year were a Friday and Saturday night tracks. So pretty much same as Scunny. Also remember he couldn’t be bothered coming to Armadale one Friday for Belle Vue I think it was in the NDL but don’t tell anyone till the afternoon he wasn’t coming, real reliable. Nothing actually against Nathan, cause actually a good lad.

Yeah there’s no way couple of the riders been announced so far are on the NDL pay structure.

He should be coming in on his previous championship average minus the 2.5%.

He shouldn’t though he should really be coming in on 4.91, if we’re going to use the rules correctly.

Going off his Aussie rides probably about at 5/6 pointer at most in the NDL.

If they were really interested in showing the way they’d put a NDL team together instead of using this to cherry pick riders out of it for themselves.

Probably a year too early for him in the championship imo, only averaged 6 in the NDL last year, unless he’s a stop gap till they can potentially fit Perry in when the averages change.

Whatever Rob decides so it fits in it seems.

Blame Leicester, Oxford and Lynn for that one. They pushed for it.

Assuming former premiership rider and long track world champion isn’t enough of a spearhead.

That’s the one, bit of a shambles that he shouldn’t be riding in this league.

A certain few teams forcing the points limit up to 42 this year, otherwise toys were out the pram. Leagues going to be a bit of a joke this year imo. Nothing development league about it just wait till a certain team announces one rider they’ve signed.

But in this case it’s cause he didn’t want to travel that far nothing to do with what he got offered. The whole point is the rule is corruption by the guy in charge once again. Knew the second it was announced you knew which team it would affect right away.

Not the point of the rule at all, rule is for guys who’ve been left out for one reason or another over the last few years, not for guys like Albitt who refused team spots last year.

Now this is where I have a problem with this 8% rule, the rule has been made up by the crook which we all know by rob godfrey. The BSPA statement literally says, “It is hoped that this will provide some assistance to riders who have taken time out of the sport, and who are now once again seeking team places.” Abilitt, hasn’t been away from the sport, he refused more than one team place last year at championship level cause he couldn’t be bothered travelling that far north, plus rode NDT with Kent last year. Yet qualifies for this silly rule. That’s not a rider that’s been lost or taken time out. No wonder everyone gets fed up with Speedway guys like Godfrey killing the sport for a selfish gain.

Think he’d do well to maintain his 4 point average. Bit on the wild side at times but should chip in with a few points each meeting. As long as he stays upright.

Wonder where he’ll potentially end up and who came up with such a rule.Wouldn’t be like Godfrey to make rules up to benefit his own team would it. Guys corrupt him and Garrity are suited.
