stevebrum 6,842 Posted July 1, 2015 That was about 7 or 8 years ago now! Rules change! The issue is that they changed the conversion figure for moving from EL to PL. In doing so they have reworded the rule and IMO, messed up. Of course rules change, it's just they don't tell anyone what they were in the first place! Surely somebody more recent has dropped down mid season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 15 Posted July 1, 2015 Of course rules change, it's just they don't tell anyone what they were in the first place! Surely somebody more recent has dropped down mid season? Of course they tell people. It's in the rule book. It's even in bold print to make it easy to see new rules. TBF, someone posted on the BSF yesterday it was against the rules - if fans on the BSF know these things.... No, nobody on an average over 6 at the start of the season has dropped down this year since the rule was changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 1, 2015 It'll be another case of rules are applied and the fans moan about it. BSPA actually done their jobs correctly this time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember a time when AGM press releases were long and included all the relevant rules and rule changes. If they are playing by the book then fair enough, but how did CVS not know! !!

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) It'll be another case of rules are applied and the fans moan about it. BSPA actually done their jobs correctly this time! They have. Only trouble is it appears a certain promoter didn't know them when trying to get a berth for one of his riders What folks should be questioning, if they so wish, is the sense of the rule, not the fact that it has been applied as written. Complete silence on the OS. I didn't look at it yesterday so don't know if there was a 'Jacob to 'Boro' story. If there was, it's gone Edited July 1, 2015 by Wolfsbane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E I Addio 15,871 Posted July 1, 2015 They tell people .... if they read the rulebook! I remember a time when AGM press releases were long and included all the relevant rules and rule changes. If they are playing by the book then fair enough, but how did CVS not know! !! You don't know whether CVS knew about it or not. All we know is what Ged Rathbone says. You have been following speedway long enough to know that unless you are actually present when a conversation takes place you can never really be sure exactly who said what. I am sure if you spoke to CVS whoever Rathbone says he spoke to you would get an entirely different account. The fact remains that as others have said the rule is clear enough in this case. Unfortunately the sport has a history of people making wrong decisions based on what someone else told them instead of bothering to check the rule themselves.

E I Addio 15,871 Posted July 2, 2015 You are definitely CVS and I absolutely claim my £5. Sorry E I, couldn't resist Ok I admit I am CVS . Can't let you have the fiver just now though, too busy planning our next move with Peter Adams to get our season back on track and secure our place in the play offs. The boys are all up for it and determined to give 110% to out play off bid. The team are all totally focussed and I have every confidence in the them and I know how much you and all the other fans appreciate me being honest with you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolfhound Posted July 3, 2015 So the defeats continue and not just marginally but by some distance! That CVS has signed an agreement to stay at Monmore Green for another 3 years could become a financial disaster if things continue this way as the only people attending will be the 14 riders and the referee!
