Skidder1 7,632 Posted September 23, 2019 19 minutes ago, Gavan said: And im in agreement with you..............meeting importance doesnt come into it ...rules are rules So the clubs just decide who can ride then rather then the rulebook...........Kings Lynn agree to use Tai in the final and agree Poole can have Zmarzlik.......... Where have i said i want him to ride for Eastbourne??? Try reading the line where ive said that i want him to ride for us as he did all season....and a valid point made by hammer1969 that he has also ridden for Eastbourne to. R/R wouldnt make us stronger much of a muchness............would rather have our full 1-7 Im a firm believer in the rules of speedway and i know as a Poole fan you probably dont understand that line of thinking If Lawson does or doesnt ride , if Poole dont get through it will be the biggest choke in play off history.........unlikely there has been a hotter favourite in the semis since the play offs began.....i just hope we can keep the score respectable Not again Gavan?! Yeah we get it. 'If Poole lose they will have choked'! How many times have you repeated this. Please give it a rest and come up with something new. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t think the PST will be classed as more important tho? You could add Art 16.1 to the mix! Fixtures shall take priority as follows: FIM Speedway Grand Prix Speedway Of Nations Speedway Grand Prix Qualifying Meetings FIM U21 World Speedway Championship Meetings FIM Speedway European Championship FIM Europe U21 Championship British Championships (Senior, Junior) BSPA Shared and Fee Events Official Competitions: 1. SGB Premiership; 2. SGB Championship; 3. National Development League. NB. Non-Official Competitions have no priority over any of the above. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a bit unlucky that playoffs have collided with a rainy week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely non official competitions would mean friendlies which neither of the meetings on Saturday are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the line above that. At face value there’s two consecutive rules 16.1 and 16.1.1 which contradict each other!

What a surprise ! (Not!). Do you think the fact that 16.1.1 is in bold typeface might indicate that it maybe relevant and have priority over 16.1 ? Perhaps not, but the rules are quite clear but it now seems that priorities are organised not by the rules but by what someone thinks is a more ‘important’ meeting. I like to hear a comment from the Eastbourne promotion. Edited September 23, 2019 by woofers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
