We could still get 2 well contested meetings though, that's the main thing, some decent racing to tide us over through the long close season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewy 2,290 Posted October 8, 2018 32 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: British Speedway vice-chairman Rob Godfrey said: “There was a serious risk of damaging the credibility of our sport because of the guest riders switching clubs after the first leg. “We all agreed this cannot be allowed to happen at a time when the sport is enjoying such a high profile with a British World Champion crowned at the weekend. It clearly say's above and I quote 'We all agreed this cannot be allowed to happen' Rob Godfrey and credibility in the same sentence!!!!!

Pirates Of Poole 759 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 39 minutes ago, Gavan said: Because Poole can now use a rider that should be ineligible for the second leg How when his GSA has finished at 6.74? Which includes all September meetings. The issue has come about because the cut off was 25th September when his ‘official average ‘ for team building is 6.74 for 2019 so that was looked at when making the decision. Ellis will score more than NKI at Poole, he performs very badly at Poole but KL will miss his scores in the return as can’t see Adam scoring the same.

Phew... Well done the BSPA... Could have been a tad embarrassing if they hadn't sorted it so well... Just heard a rumour that Micky mouse is being flown in to present to cup to the winners on Wednesday lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,333 Posted October 8, 2018 Good luck to the 2 Robis Ellis and Morris. I reckon Adam could outscore Nick over the 2 legs, especially at Lynn. Will go 48-42 to Poole, then 49-41 to Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
