Tigerite 319 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Have you got a link for the rest of the results from the Crump meeting please? Report from the meeting in the Mildura Independent, seems Ty aggravated his thigh injury, let's hope it's not too bad. http://www.milduraindependent.com/news/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=913:home-town-speedway-star-wins-phil-crump-trophy-event-at-mildura&catid=28&Itemid=593 Edited January 27, 2015 by Tigerite 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackadder 280 Posted February 3, 2015 From Rod Colquhoun, Heffernan Motor Sports:- Injured NSW racer Taylor Poole has had his first practice ride since breaking his femur in England last year and according to the pint sized racer all is well. He rode at Raymond Terrace and whilst the rough track stopped him from pushing too hard it was a successful outing. Taylor had a good season on the ultra fast Sheffield track in the UK in 2014 and provided a visa can be sourced he should return to the Tigers this year.

Najjer 2,888 Posted February 4, 2015 workington are having to redeclare their team because campton n wethers have been refused entry visas ... how does that leave poole n proctor ??? Proctor is okay due to his EL average he gained last year for Wolves. Poole on the other hand, isn't okay and has failed to meet the criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted February 4, 2015 Proctor is okay due to his EL average he gained last year for Wolves. Poole on the other hand, isn't okay and has failed to meet the criteria. But in the past, when a rider failed to make his assessed average it was increased back up if they qualified by other means - the argument being if they were good enough to finish top 4 of a state final they were good enough for a 7 point average. It's only since Chris Kerr that this rule was ignored. Davey Watt and Scott Smith both had averaged reset to 7 (from 6.5) when changing teams circa '02 - '03 and I'm sure there will have been others that I just can't think of.

EIS002 159 Posted February 4, 2015 http://speedwaygb.co/gbe The Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) requirements for non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationals to be employed in British Speedway in 2009 : No exceptions or extensions will be granted to riders failing to achieve the averages except in the case of injury, medical evidence of which must be supplied. SCB, just asking, but is the link to 2009 rules or 2015. Also I would think Taylor could be assessed under the injury clause. I'm unaware of any official Sheffield statement on the matter.

spin king 1,921 Posted February 4, 2015 If As what appears to be what has been stated on here that we will be without Taylor Poole, I would think the club will probably bring in Andre Compton as a replacement for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doners1234 0 Posted February 5, 2015 I noticed this at the end of the official statment on the SGB about visas.... No exceptions or extensions will be granted to riders failing to achieve the averages except in the case of injury, medical evidence of which must be supplied. This will probably save Poole and Proctor so i should imagine Sheffield will be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
