Islander15 1,061 Posted August 13, 2019 How does Wallinger keep getting so many clubs signing him?! When will they learn he’s unreliable and doesn’t even score points. Barely any in the Championship and on a 4pt NL average! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike0310 658 Posted August 13, 2019 Wallingers signing been refused by the bspa I don’t no the reason behind it but it’s been put on the Plymouth fans forum by the promoter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,061 Posted August 13, 2019 So a precedent has been set today that you cannot sign a NL rider, as a Championship team, when he has the same race night as you. Tbf this is also following the Cook Peterborough/Belle Vue scenario from the other season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,883 Posted August 13, 2019 BSPA acting fairly, following a precedent and indeed, sticking up for the little club. Full marks! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortythirtyeight 835 Posted August 13, 2019 So Redcar want to sign the rider, Plymouth happy to let him go ( eventually ) but the BSPA put a stop to it...... only in speedway would this make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortythirtyeight 835 Posted August 13, 2019 And you think that Plymouth fans and management will welcome Wallinger back with open arms and he will be very happy to go back to a set of fans who have given nothing but abuse to his proposed move to his home town club? Really? Stand by for another ' retirement '. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really? Stand by for another ' retirement '. No I don't. But the decision will make others think about who they take and when. People on here have regularly criticised the casual way that riders are being signed and dismissed, and expecting the BSPA to do something about it. Look at the recent pages for evidence. Do if you do, do if you don't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 164 Posted August 13, 2019 about time an independent body was brought in , rather than decisions made by promotor`s of teams with conflicting interests 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 658 Posted August 13, 2019 And he will still be available for Redcar to sign next year or will they not want him then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
