Bagpuss 10,746 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) If Worky's line up was illegal it would be utterly ridiculous as the missing piece of paperwork is down to the relevant authorities and no fault of rider or club. What good would it do speedway to have Proctor replaced by an NL rider? IF the rule is there it has to be enforced but in this case the law would be a complete ass.

Gazc 7,087 Posted April 16, 2018 But he is not ineligible Proctor has his visa and cleared to ride in the other league, going by what is being said here there has been a hold up with other paperwork hardly Workington's fault. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I don't understand is if BSPA and ACU control British speedway,how can he be eligible in 1 league but not the other. .I know there are different Tiers regarding employment but surely his paperwork would cover these situations and he would be told what the position is regarding his application at the same time .Strange IMO .

jenga 2,998 Posted April 16, 2018 Redcar had a rider in their team who was in the same position as ty . Redcar signed him but were unable to use him due to the same paperwork issue . does that make Redcars team illegal as well . think holder is having the same probs as well . Poole not playing by the rules , surely not ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MANSE 480 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Poole signed a rider until Holders paperwork was cleared what Workington should have done. Last week he was declared to ride against Glasgow twice still no paperwork a week later [first time I have agreed with Mr Blobby ] got a visit to the doctors sorted Edited April 16, 2018 by MANSE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
