0.16 of a point .keeps us from including Tommy ? Bloody ridiculous whats 0.16 of a point really ? Surely the sport is about entertainment and excitment and in all fairness I would much prefer to watch Tommy Gun flying round Scunny than (and no disrespect) Tero Aarnio. This is where Speedway starts to look silly. 0.16 of a point I ask you ?arrrgh 

I agree totally I’m not saying it’s a good thing !

What happens when another team is just 0.16 above scunnys 0.16 and so forth. There has to be a cut off point somewhere!

He rode forBerwick for half a season without any problem it would seem.You either are eligible for a visa or not IMO.Tero was a strange case.He either broke the rules or got dumped.Why was he not able to resolve it.

Don't worry, I'm sure Godfrey himself is working very hard behind the scenes to bend the rules ever so slightly :D Hence the delay in announcements...

0.16 doesn't stop Scunny signing Jorgensen, just stops him signing with the other 6. Replace Kinsley with a 2.00 man or Kennedy with MacDonald & Jorgensen fits  - simple!

There will always be potential teams just over the points limit, but if you allow a team to be 0.16 over, another will want to declare 0.25 over & so on!

Have the averages on BSPA website taken out the Eastbourne scores?

On the Berwick thread someone seems to think TJ is on a 7.10 average.

When do we find out more.  I do hope this isn’t Boris tactics. Release all the news then say “Oh yea we signed Tero”.
