He and Edward are unfortunate but the line has to be drawn somewhere and it's included them. Bit like me with my old age pension, being born a month later means I have to miss out for 7 years, I feel hard done by but the line had to be somewhere first.

However as riders with higher aves can double up, it's the equivalent of someone, who maybe older & richer getting a pension before you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,297 Posted February 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Badge said: but the line has to be drawn somewhere So draw the line in a fair manner. Top riders in the Premiership are not allowed to double up. Be it over 6, 7 or whatever average is thought sensible. That's straightforward and is equally penalising to all. What this rule does is arbitrary in the extreme. You have riders of similar ability being treated quite differently. And you wonder why they cry foul? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have riders of similar ability being treated quite differently. And you wonder why they cry foul? This rule was introduced for those riders who didn’t double-up last season and was seen as the first step towards reducing doubling-up in the sport.Unfortunately, and regrettably, Scott Nicholls and Edward Kennett – two fine servants of British Speedway – were caught up in this. Says it all really. They didn't double up last season as some riders, like Cook, Harris etc did. It seems a fair rule to me and does NOT prejudice Nicholls and Kennet in any way.

Tosh1218 592 Posted February 1, 2018 Ha ha ha ha that’s your plan A gone up in smoke , well done mr Godfrey that’s another you’ve got over Peterborough . It’s simple play by the same rules as the rest of the championship heard Lee Dicken and Jon Armstrong are available on proper averages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted February 1, 2018 All this talk about this going to Court, Well yes it could but the time factor would not make it Practical a Promoter could of course seek a injunction but the costs would be astronomical and I’d be very surprised if any club in the country could afford one.

Daytripper 1,123 Posted February 1, 2018 1 hour ago, blupanther said: Non British riders on higher averages are being allowed to double up, a ruling passed at a conference does not trump employment discrimination laws. The rights and wrongs of the 'ruling' would be irrelevant in the appropriate court imo .... What employment laws have been broken exactly ? Who has supposedly broken the law ?The riders are self employed. Who are they going to have a case against ? Who are Peterboro going to sue, and for what? If there was a case (which there isn't ) the season would be over long before it reaches a hearing. Tough on Scott and Ed and a complete dogs breakfast by Chapman & Co who go from bad to worse, and total ineptitude by Rathbone but there is no legal case here. Suck it up and move on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,594 Posted February 1, 2018 So anyone want to guess the Panthers team? I can see them begging Hansen for forgiveness and coming to a financial agreement with Sedgmen Ostergaard Lunna MPT Sedgmen Hansen Lambert Grondal No heat leaders at all and a rather desperate looking team 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
