And I know your last question is tongue in cheek, but for those unaware, you shouldn't be able to sign someone as cover! I was told on that with serious injury/season ending injury you are allowed to sign a rider to replace...I'm not sure that's the route we would take though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that before when the signing window had closed, clubs were permitted to replace an injured rider, subject to the following conditions:- The replacement had a GSA equal or below that of the injured rider The replacement was not already riding for another club in that particular league The replacement is already an asset of the club seeking to replace their injured rider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comet49 313 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Crazy rule, obviously badly injured, not forgetting Dan but penalises clubs and fans. I believe Dan would be unreplaceable though on his present form, R/R should do alright. Again good luck to Dan in continuing his career next season.

It's the same rule that severely damaged Berwick's chances last season when they where hit by injury and the same rule that applies to all teams , so not quite a crazy rule as you put.

BluTiger 21,661 Posted August 29, 2018 It seems strange that a club cannot replace a rider with season ending injuries after the cut off date. Some common sense would surely be in order in these circumstances... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelShoe 496 Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah, an intransigent rule when you cannot replace a rider with a season ending injury. Not surprised it's just so typical of the apparent lack of common sense that appears to prevail. Personally i would go with guests where possible. R/R longer term could ultimately prove detrimental. Horses for courses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horses for courses. This rule has affected, is affecting, us. However whilst I totally agree it's an awful rule, I get why it's in place. Imagine "cough" cough" certain promoters bringing in ringers in the latter stages of the season to win the league for them. As usual the many are hampered by the "dodgy" few, who spoil it for everyone. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horses for courses. To be fair (and I am not sticking up for the BSPA) I dare say it’s been written like that because teams in the past have brought in ringers for the play offs and cup finals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mean crazy because of the Comets, I remember thinking it was wrong last year that riders couldn't be replaced. Probably brought in to stop shenanigans but surely in some cases common sense should apply. Ooops, it's the BSPA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
