will he be eligible to ride nl or pl as no one really knows until he gets his passport and the powers that be give him the ok to do, so what will his ave for nl be if he is eligible or will they give him the same as BWD

Pretty sure BWD has a NZ passport but came in on a 5 NL ave because his parents were British and that loophole has been closed hence why he has to ride PL with a 5 ave so does not qualify for NL any more and only people with British passports are able to ride in it so if Mitch gets in on a PL 3 ave his NL ave will be three also lol

What other reserve rider has changed nationality SH none that I can see

People will need to wait and see if and when he gets his passport then Edinburgh will have to submit him to scb what if they knock him back don't think it will be as simple as get passport straight onto team

Wonder what ave he will get in the NL 3 maybe lol as I am sure there will be a few teams willing to take a put on him too

Chris widman signs just one more reserve to go

Pretty sure each promotion will want the best revenue maker and if Glasgow bring up belle vue or a polish,Swedish,Danish team sure there is one polish team meeting against kings lynn on a Friday at the start of March and maybe fancy a trip up north maybe and wonder how many fans Edinburgh fans would come cheer cookie and Max racing against Glasgow, although do both teams need each other to survive up here

Defo great little rider

David holt and Daniel Bewley from Cumbria signed tonight Daniel is a top class motocross rider 16/17 I think and has Just moved over to speedway last year for a bit of fun and took to it like a duck to water he has been coached by Steve Lawson since he started and will be a good one i have seen him riding Glasgow at practice days and looks as if he has been riding for a lot more years than he has

Think that will be the same in every team in every league top dog will always be the number 1 in the team

Leagues are won on the track over a season not on paper a lot of last years riders are on false high averages gong to be a lot harder this year for these guys to put much on there averages don't count out any team for a few shock results

Paul Burnett ? Maybe

Take it the riders will get some sort of deal on ferries long way to go on 10p a mile lol

Don't think so he Won't get the time off his work and his job comes first also think each team should have a couple number 7s and can change them between matches as there will be a few missing with having NL commitments

As there is no set wage for a speedway rider you got to try get the best deal you can I think with the reserves that they will have to basically give up the job and become full time speedway riders so they are maybe asking for decent money to scarfice their job not many company's would put up with staff taking every Friday off from March till October plus all away matches then add there home and away NL fixtures and don't think Mitch would qualify for NL on a 3 even with a British passport witch would cost him in excess of £2k just to get it also think he would maybe come in as a 5 same as BWD at Somerset

From the few riders I have spoken too from the NL that have been asked by pl clubs nearly all of them didn't want to do it as they don't have enough days off their work to fit 2 leagues in and don't think they could afford to compete in both

Think Ryan Blacklock would be a good shout, not that far to travel but with a few other teams riding NL on a Friday night who would take preference NL or pl as the rider would probably make more riding NL than PL mind you that goes for all the NL riders it's going to be hard to fit all their matches in especially max who is riding in 3 leagues

Location doesn't help either not many riders will want to travel all the way up here for 3 races because you can pretty much guarantee he will be taken out his last ride for the other reserve And with a couple of NL teams racing Friday nights will make it even harder to get one

Will probably bring back rob Branford and put max further up the team plus their 3 pointer as not many other riders will score more than they two at home really

Don't think he has ridden much in 2 years really apart from a couple NJL meetings one which I saw him at worky this year and looked OK fell in his first and bike chucked it in his second

Maybe he can't fully commit to the full season in the NL

Here Adam Mckinna is making a comeback could be your number 7

Ryan macdonald in at reserve

You still got a Betamax video player lol
