Najjer 2,912 Posted December 15, 2012 You know full well the point I am trying to make. Again, it is about 1 rider who I believe fully deserves a PL place. If you wish to disect my post to such an extent that you eventually come up with something that I never meant in the first place, then good luck. I'm sure such actions will keep you happy over the long winter days. The general jist is that you think Joe Jacobs deserves a team place, which is fair enough, but you also said at the expense of 'over seas' riders - when questioned as to who exactly, so far you have been able to name Facundo Albin and that's about it.

ekimba 319 Posted December 18, 2012 Just checked the BSPA website and there are only 14 places left to fill. and there still appears to be a lot of unsigned riders out there, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lions12 12 Posted December 18, 2012 A potential team with the riders still available could be 1 Claus Vissing 2 Dakota North 3 Cory Gathercole 4 Claes Nedermark 5 Taylor Poole 6 Kenny Ingalls 7 Charles Wright = 42.24 Quite ridiculous really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly ridiculous when you are including Kenny Ingalls, who will not be fit enough to race until 2014. Edited December 18, 2012 by luluthetiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neb 312 Posted December 18, 2012 theres only one English rider though we don't owe any of the others a living we might not owe any of them a living but they all have every right to ride over here and although i am all for the brits i wouldn't deny any of them the right to earn money as they have all entertained us in the past.how boring would speedway be if only brits were aloud to ride in the uk, speedway might be dying at the moment but thats one sure way to kill it off.

Of those 10 (at least) 1 is injured 1 has effectively retired and 1 was potentially offered a place and turned it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chewbacca 653 Posted December 19, 2012 Pretty sure Jason King will be Newcastle's seventh rider if he proves his fitness before the start of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Jacobs 555 Posted December 19, 2012 The general jist is that you think Joe Jacobs deserves a team place, which is fair enough, but you also said at the expense of 'over seas' riders - when questioned as to who exactly, so far you have been able to name Facundo Albin and that's about it. Not sure why you are still bullying this person over semantics. Most people would use the word "riders" as a generalism, not as a specific plural. Anyway, anyway, anyway: Harley Horwood, Damien Koppe, Ryan Douglas, Mickey Dyer, Simon Nielsen - and others (they were off the top of my head). I have long been an advocate that if non-Brits are employed, then their Green Sheet must never drop below their starting assessed average. If they aren't good enough to maintain it, then it shouldn't be possible to re-employ them at a lower value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
