Having a regulation that's limits team changes and introduces a window for those transfers doesn't fit with allowing 28 day signings whatever the reasons

It gives a potential advantage to the team/s that have been granted the 28 day facility

There is the example of riders now potentially becoming available should a team fail in Sweden but no other team could take advantage due to the transfer restriction except those incompetent enough to fail to put together a full team despite having 6 months to do so......

Very good point!

I would have Allen any day over Etheridge , Allen will come good especially at number 2 or reserve, will only come back to bight ol lemon’s favouritisium

.....Agree 100% with your opening comment.

Alternatively, however, and tongue-in-cheek here, maybe a team exploring all options and playing the long game until the League season starts - and then you for 'incompetent' you can read e.g.  'clever' or 'astute'.

Wasn’t there last night but reading the updates site I understand there was rain beforehand which effected the track. Heat 1 Etheridge fell bend 4 and was injured why did it take till heat 3 for Douglas to fall on same bend for extensive track work to be done?

The 4th bend is always a problem after heavy rain and i expected grading after heat 2 when it was obvious that it was an issue. Quite often it takes an accident before work is done tho.

Zagar did well in the Peter Craven, second in a pretty high class field and must be an improvement on what Aces currently have.  The crowds will come if we're winning.

And there you have the reason why speedway is in its current parlous state.

Back in the day I went to watch Halifax week in and out because I thought it was fantastic, exciting sport. The crowds came because people loved the sport and winning or losing wasn't the be-all and end-all of it. It was entertainment and we loved it regardless of the results born out by the fact that Halifax crowds were quite consistent over the 20 years they were in operation.
