PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted February 21, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Stainlesssteelride 106 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) 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.

What a mess it all is. 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.

Amalgamate into a proper BRITISH LEAGUE 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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted February 22, 2018 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure there is also a rule that stops Grand Prix riders from competing in the second divsion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
