Kitykat 24 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) So why will Scott and Eddie be allowed to this year? That's if the rule is changed, which it probably will be. So they may change a rule this year and not next??? Maybe Walt Disney is running the show, as it's very mickey mouse.

However to stop a team (Lakeside) from signing them back in November and then effectively putting them back on the market three months later is really poor. Why can't speedway get its house in order as soon as the season finishes so everybody knows exactly where they stand? It always seemed daft to exclude Nicholls and Kennett from doubling up while still allowing Morris, Harris, Cook etc to do so if they wish. Once again something not thought through at all. Don't think lakeside too bothered, they signed Morris , Lawson and Newman in one fell swoop , knowing the 6pt rule before some other promoters found out. jimg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted February 13, 2018 So 2 BPL number 1s are allowed to ride in a lower easier league. Ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try looking at the BSPA website , they are even worse and according to there info section we are still on 2017 rules . They make changes to rules but how is anyone supposed to know what has been altered when they can't even get a basic thing like updating correct, is it any wonder the sport is in such a mess.

If they allow SN & EK and anyone else in a similar position to ride in both leagues it is the right thing to do because other 9 riders have been allowed to do so. It is too late now to bar them all because it would cause too much disruption with the new season fast approaching. Next season however, current BPL averages should decide and not most recent BCL averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted February 13, 2018 Deliberately riding to lower their average will cost them money will it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
