dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted November 24, 2017 Ok , take out Newman and Bridger, then bring in Sedgemen who knows the track ( and has beaten Lindgren and Hancock there) and any one of Williamson, Bacon or Clegg from the NL who all like the track, and are all on an upward curve and you have a team that will be stronger as the season goes on.Newman and the one that can beat Hancock and Lindgren (😆😆) are almost identical average Id stick with Kyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tocha 308 Posted November 26, 2017 Why is he different to others? He isn't. Someone posted this on the Ipswich thread but I don't think it has any substance. Anyway, Chris Louis will be announcing his 1 -7 at 6pm this evening so we might find out more then.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyE 822 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Weird decisions like this one, if true, are just what gives speedway a bad name. It should be transparent and any rationale involved made public. How does it square with 'restraint of trade' issues? Edited November 26, 2017 by TonyE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does it square with 'restraint of trade' issues? It's only the reintroduction of a long standing rule that was dropped last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,845 Posted November 26, 2017 It's only the reintroduction of a long standing rule that was dropped last year. What exactly is the rule? It seems inconsistent that Bomber can ride in the CL and Scott can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted November 26, 2017 I'm not sure the rule would survive a legal challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted November 26, 2017 What exactly is the rule? It seems inconsistent that Bomber can ride in the CL and Scott can't. Harris has a Championship average where Nicholls hasn't, maybe that has something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliv Clav 60 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Harris has a Championship average where Nicholls hasn't, maybe that has something to do with it.Very unfair on Scott though, if true, as Harris and Cook both have higher averages and are eligible for the Premiership. Also, Nicholls was guesting for Premiership teams at the end of the season. Not fair on a British rider who has been entertaining the British fans for 20 years and is looking to ride and earn as much as possible in his last few years before retirement. Maybe a foreigner will have to be brought in to fill this Brit's potential team spot(!) Edited November 26, 2017 by Cliv Clav 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
