Najjer 2,916 Posted January 19, 2015 Even better chance your wrong I expect:-) Wonder what the chances are on Holder being over here though? At the moment, I'd say as much chance as Kurtz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penny Cross 120 Posted January 20, 2015 So, Sam Chapman announced as the 3pt reserve. I cant help but think that James Shanes would have been a better choice. That's assuming he wanted it, of course. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJC 255 Posted January 20, 2015 So, Sam Chapman announced as the 3pt reserve. I cant help but think that James Shanes would have been a better choice. That's assuming he wanted it, of course. Followed his scores a lot last year and seemed to improve every week from reports at scunny! Believe he's in at Birmingham? Can only be a good thing but Ash Morris would have been a better use of points and made the push for play offs I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,253 Posted January 20, 2015 Excuse my ignorance but Sam Chapman (born 16 February 1989) ? Does that not mean he will be 26 this season and too old to double up between Brum & Plym ? Not saying the date is accurate (Wikipedia) just asking the question.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Kelly 41 114 Posted January 20, 2015 Like racehorses, speedway riders qualify for the whole year at the age they are on January 1st. Or so I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) NL eligibility: 19.9.2.2 A current PL Rider under 25 years-old with a PL MA of 4.00 or below at the start of theSeason. He's 26 at the start of the season (because it doesn't start on the 1st January, it starts on 15th March), so he can't ride for Birmingham and Plymouth. That's the 2014 regulations, though, and we all know how accurate they are..................... I sense a crooked interests of speedway, no public justification, say a word against it and you'll be shafted from all sides decision.

Islander15 1,065 Posted January 20, 2015 He certainly isn't 16! Last season I think he was about 24 so 26 for next season will probably be correct. Yes this is a problem as you cannot double-up at over 25, hence why Simon Lambert can't this year and why Rye were going to have Bowen lead the NL team this year but have realised they can't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAudi 147 Posted January 20, 2015 He certainly isn't 16! I didn't think he was that young, I agree the 25/26 date of birth is the more likely one, just wonder how the rules allow it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
