I was not sure if he/she was surmising that these riders could not get spots because of the reduced team average or because of their own high average but what was posted was that a rider could not ride in the NL if he had achieved a 4+ average in the CL in the past even saying if it was 25 years ago. Was this a wind up post or is it true for 2019? It appears to be a new rule that wasn't in the post AGM press release. However it is not a ban on such riders, but a restriction to ONE per team. ( at least that is my understanding of the situation today) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( at least that is my understanding of the situation today) That's my understanding as well, not sure how many riders it affects, Armstrong, Bowen, Bacon, Shane's,Wilson, Ayres, Hurry,Baseby and Roynon I would have thought reached that level at one time. Not sure on Clegg, Morley or Perks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted December 13, 2018 Cheers for the clarification as I wondered about the Perks signing & announcing he had achieved a 5 point average in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted December 13, 2018 I assume Perry is on the 4+ list as well ? Going to make things interesting in 2020 if the rule stays the same and all those doubling up this year do alright for a period of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted December 14, 2018 After the AGM it said there was a possibility of more teams joining, is that not going to happen? Plenty of riders still available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 14, 2018 Rye House possibly? Looking at riders who haven’t been signed and ones I think wouldn’t already be signed. 1 Kemp 9.15 2 Dugard 3.35 3 Hurry 6.75 4 Hampshire 5.11 5 Kingsley 7.54 6 butcher 2.01 7 Ablitt 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that was said more to cover Birmingham (and to an extent Eastbourne) than open the door to Rye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted December 23, 2018 Kemp has signed for Kent. Who would qualify to take his place if he was to miss a match through injury? Could it be As an example Morley , average wise fits but can he because of this new ruling about only 1 rider with the over 4 average. Does the ruling only effect start of the season team building?

If Kemp was to start the season well and did move upto Ipswich as has been rumoured on other threads could he continue to ride for Kent ( treble up ) ? If he did have to drop Kent could he be replaced by someone with an previous over 4 Championship average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But riders can do all 3 leagues if they wish (unless it’s anorger rule change that we’re unaware of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
