Geds Rathbone has always maintained he budgets sensibly and won’t break the bank for excessive demands for riders or guests, I don’t doubt that will continue despite the fact that Buster is paying the bills next year.

Well he got married last Friday in the UK

Bloody hope so

It will be surprising bearing in mind he lives in the UK.

He has a British passport

Did either ride in the NL or CL BWD holds a British Passport and rode in the NL for Eastbourne.

I am surprised he didn’t want to stay at Ipswich

Last time he rode at the Showground was Ostergaard’s Testimonial in 2016, he scored 13 and was second to Iversen.

Your not wrong, certainly in the case of the Championship it was in the hands of the BSPA office for a while but they passed it on and arranged a meeting of respective promoters and you all know what followed. It should be easier in the Premiership this year with just two days to chose from but I dare say someone will make it as difficult as possible.

Could be a disaster

You could also apply that to Bomber, their certainly has been some rubbish posted on here.

He could also have another crap season, he had a bad year, sometimes it happens.

Buxton in 2010

I don’t

That’s the information I have heard but I have not seen it officially anywhere, that’s why I was asking.

Talking of reductions anyone know what exactly the rule is on having ridden in the NL and how long it applies to riders

I think Morris is on everyone’s wish list but I expect him to be at Swindon

Happens every year and will be drip fed as per usual.

And what bargain average does he come in on

Correct, they certainly refused one of the Peterborough ones towards the end.

Are Fridays not a Championship race day ?

Exactly

I think some team signings could make a difference to the mood, especially some good ones.

I think you make some good points,

Probably because as the home side they likely wouldn’t get a facility if one or more of their team was riding abroad, they will also now find out that they could struggle to get teams to commit to their home fixtures, especially re arranged ones. As for the UK if riders cannot commit to doubling up in this country then let them just ride in the Premiership.
