Possible sanctions: Pawel Polski is seen to be a proven liar and has his licence to ride in British speedway revoked (or something like that) His replacement signing no longer has a team place and the club have to run r/r for the remainder of the season. Very tough on the replacement but would make clubs and riders think twice before signing and/or pulling these stunts. Looking at Swindon last year, Lampart got banned by polish team, Wajknecht retired, Musielak was (temporarily) injured, Nielsen was (temporarily) injured! Since they brought Musielak back when he was fit but didn't bring Nielsen back - should that count as a transfer? Otherwise what's to stop a team using a free "injury transfer" for someone who may only be out for two weeks? Also have they decided how "retired / banned / withholding services" affects these transfer options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 28, 2020 So how long should a rider be out before an injury replacement is allowed? Must it be an injury sustained on track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point and one possibly not thought through when the window idea was muted The window needs to be open/closed at the same time for ALL teams and not flexible to individual circumstances for the very reason you state 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted March 30, 2020 From the 2020 Regulations : "012.2 TEAM COMPOSITION A Premiership team’s initial declaration must not exceed 42.50 with a minimum average permitted being 3.00. Riders declared in a Premiership 1-7 are ineligible to compete in the NDL. A Championship team’s initial declaration must not exceed 41.00 with the minimum average permitted being 2.00. A Premiership declaration must not exceed 42.50 points in any declaration following the issue of established MA’s for 2020, except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal to, or lower than the rider being replaced. A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury." Looks like nothing came of our reservations (you can't tell me none of the authorities don't read this forum ). Plenty of room for confusion and manoeuvre there !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted March 30, 2020 As planned, the PL season was scheduled to be 168 matches, so the transfer window would open after 42 matches across all clubs and close after 126 matches. Clear isn't it?...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m simply basing my opinion on the fact that the rule refers to 25% of the League fixtures not 25% of a Club’s fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
