Why are we discussing this? The BSPA have ruled that if you want to use Ben then you have to buy him. Doesnt matter who said what now.

Klindt will average more that Skornicki in 2013 i think. Skornicki is a poor signing and his average is only going to go one way especially as 3rd heatleader.

Exactly, most riders are earning in 2 or more EU countries so i dont see how it can become a restrictment of earning just because they are not riding here.

Would they class it as restraint of trade if riders are already earning abroad?

I understand that Swindon only wanted to loan Hans originally? Could be wrong.

But if they are an asset then they are so until they retire unless someone wants to BUY him.

I think Coventry were allowed to talk to Hans because originally we were the only club willing to buy him at a price Peterborough accepted. Obviously now it seems Swindon are happy to buy him so now they just have to agree a fee.

No because Coventry were willing to buy them.

Spot on. Also why havent the BSPA published there rulings it would save some of the mud slinging from one promotor to another.

It has come out today that Iversen can join KL on loan while Swindon have to buy Batchelor, it should be the other way round in my opinion. Also says that the BSPA ruled that KL had to buy Schlein as they illegelly tapped him up aswell. Peterborough have turned down offers for Andersen also.

Shouldnt matter, a rider in most cases attain a new average by then which can make the rider worthless to the parent club.

Not true according to Pearson on Twitter.

National League champion i believe! Or maybe not!

Eddie Kennett will almost certainly ride PL in 2013. He only rode EL and a few meetings in Germany in 2012 and his form dipped. Not sure he will be at Coventry next season so he would be a good signing for Plymouth.

Kozza Smith signs.

Teams reserves will be a lot stronger in 2013 so im not so sure they would.

Isnt Mikkel Bech a 5 because he hasnt ridden in the Polish or Swedish top leagues yet? Also Pawlicki on a 7 is still a bargain for me!

I think its a shame Leicester are not in the EL in 2013 and ride against us Bees. Just think of the away support each club would bring, it would have been a cracking few meetings. Fingers crossed for 2014!

Or Batchelor thinking about it.

Whats the feeling in Peterborough, Andersen or Bjerre? I have a feeling we (bees) will have one or the other.

He has signed for Rye House.

Would love to see Billy ride live one last time.

I feel the GP's need to get round as many countries as possible, 2 is fine but 3 really? Another thing crowds looked a lot lower this year at the first 2 Polish GP's if i remember correctly. Also the riders say Cardiff is by far the best for atmosphere, nothing comes close.

My only gripe with the GP's is Poland get 3 of them. I hope in future its reduced.

I do hope you make it through to KL, it would be very competitive the list of riders there would be impressive. Would Billy ride in it again in 2013?
