DC2 11,150 Posted December 3, 2019 48 minutes ago, False dawn said: We are generally okay with riders who had an average in the final figures published on the speedwaygb site. But there is some confusion (in my mind at least) who gets the 2.5% e.g. Nick Morris and we all guessing where a rider has moved leagues, e.g. Todd Kurtz. There must be a definitive list of riders' averages for clubs to be building their teams. It would be nice, especially as we get down to the last one or two riders to signed, if we had sight of this. Nick Morris didn’t get the 2.5% discount this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at Wolves’ team building, Nick Morris must have been given a 2 point penalty rather than a 2.5% discount. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s never officially been clarified, it’s like a lot of the speedway regulations very ambiguous and subject to interpretation. This should be shown in the GSA especially the final one, so it’s clear who get the discount, it clearly doesn’t just qualify if you rode NL or the equivalent in the past, it also depends on your nationality. For example BWD rode in the NL in the past but didn’t get the discount because he rides under NZ registration in FIM events even though he holds a British passport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory could be British Champion; he could therefore go to Cardiff as "our" wildcard. But he ain't British enough to get the 2.5% discount. This is what happens when you write complex regulations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 410 Posted December 3, 2019 Musielak would be a top signing but don't think it will be him,more likely Lawson or Allen .If we could get Allen then we could attract Scunthorpe fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
