Interesting topic, my take on it is that if true then it will benefit British riders.
Im not anti-aussie at all but like rocketben has already mentioned when they are good enough they will go directly into PL anyway, coming into the NL does not promote british riders getting better just gives them a look at the tracks and an easier route into the PL. Im also not buying the crowds will be affected by not having commonwealth riders in the NL, not like there is 1000's watching in the first place, I couldnt give a monkeys who Scunny field in so far as the team is competitive & the racing is good.
Anyway I do look forward to seeing the Aussie riders in the PL when they visit Scunthorpe & wish them all well in 2011.
