Nichols/kennett Rule

Recommended Posts

THE SCB say yes ... THE BSPA say no. But as it is the SCB that sanction the rules and the are a higher authority than the BSPA the answer is most likely yes.

Wrong decision, if so.

There's one way to sort it . . . 

Amalgamate into a proper BRITISH LEAGUE

PROBABLY not if, as has been suggested, Hancock or Woffinden could ride in the CL but not Kennett or Nicholls.

Whoever suggested that doesn't have a clue.

It's easily sortable. If you are BRITISH then you are eligible. Irrespective of average. 

Keep the 6 top flight minimum to drop down to any NON Brits. Sorted.

Then you'll have the CL promoters moaning that crowds are falling falling because people won't pay 18 quid to see a team with someone like Stuart Robson or J osh Bates in the No1 slot.

What a mess it all is.

It was easily sorted for 20-odd years. Over 6? No deal, no exceptions.

One season of relapse has caused all this issue.   I dare say rules are made and changed in all sports on numerous occasions during the off season.  

So why didn't the SCB say lakeside could have used Scott and Eddie???   Some strange stuff going on, maybe ged has something on them and can pull all the strings, as he certainly seems to have things keep going in his favour.

Who suggested that? They are 9.00 riders so should not be.

Not sure that either rider would even be wanted by any team to ride as a number one. The other problem is the lack of enough quality riders to fill both leagues team positions.

Wouldn't Nicholls and Kennett be excluded from an amalgamated league by virtue of the same rule - presuming one big league is at Championship standard?

Reading 'The Role of the SCB' on their website, it states that every year they produce a 'Rule Book' (I am pretty certain they don't write it, that is the function of the BSPA) and, thereafter they adjudicate on 'interpretation and application of said rules' (it is not, in my opinion, within their remit, to approve, amend or delete rules). On that basis, if the BSPA wants to bar Premiership riders with an average over 6 who do not already have a Championship average, then I do not feel it is the SCB's role to go against them no matter how inequitable the issue becomes in respect of affected riders.

Pretty sure there is also a rule that stops Grand Prix riders from competing in the second divsion.
