But the rule could state if a rider does ride elsewhere, no facility will be granted to their UK club.. That could help stop riders/clubs taking the pee come crunch time, maybe ?

Maybe the rules could state if any rider replaced then rides elsewhere, any points scored by his replacement would be scrapped. not ideal as replaced rider could ride after his team get to the next stage of the play offs etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m making the trip up tomorrow from Ipswich for my first visit to the NSS. I’ve booked tickets for the grandstand. Any advice regarding parking and eating at the stadium or any other useful information I might need ?? Tthere's secure parking on pink bank lane , which is off kirkmanshulme lane , or alternatively you could park On the gala bingo or showcase cinema car parks facing the NSS The view from the grandstand is fantastic and has food and drink at each end of the concourse Unfortunately you're not allowed to take your own food and drink into the stadium, Hope the weather holds off and you enjoy your visit , it really is a fantastic venue for Speedway Edited August 26, 2018 by WestGorton1884 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A season ending injury means just that. It’s very clear. A season ending injury cannot or should be applied to a rider that is riding in another country. That by it’s own definition is not season ending injury! If a rider was to make a comeback in another country the club should lose the replacement facility. Pretty clear and transparent to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talking out your arse as usual. 2016 no replacements our season was ruined. Andersens season over caused by an out of control Fricke.

Of course I feel for Worky too & their fans who are affected by last night's events, a club we enjoy a good relationship with. Surprised I need to explain myself, but just for you Iain I have. No apology or explanation needed Mike, must just be galling to have "your" rider getting injured riding for someone else, that's speedway though... I often wonder how safe the lower leagues are 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
