Hamish McRaker 601 Posted November 7, 2020 So, who is on Rob Godfrey's list of 16 riders who should be first in line to be offered Championship team places, should vacancies arise this winter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebaker 199 Posted November 8, 2020 Would of thought Nathan Greaves is on the list. Overlooked by Championship for 2020. Was included in the Dale Devils National League Squad. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted November 8, 2020 He Can’t force teams to pick riders he thinks deserve a place who’s to say other clubs feel the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree,it’s a bit of a silly statement from Godfrey.He has no control over Clubs terms and conditions regarding signing riders.Riders averages would also have to be taken into consideration.Just a nonsense statement. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted November 8, 2020 typical Godders , he and trump would make a great team in speedway management . one could finance it and the other could run it into the ground . you choose who the manager is and who is the clout behind the club . . enjoy it while you can , it will be bankrupt in a few years . 2022 restart ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may ,but they can’t make teams sign riders they can’t agree Terms with.They could ban all Foreigners then watch all hell let loose!!! They couldn’t run a raffle.IMO .It’s all about self interest. Edited November 8, 2020 by Fromafar 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted November 8, 2020 1 hour ago, NeilWatson said: The forthcoming AGM may introduce new team-building rules and procedures.... All the pronouncements have been about same 1 to 7s. Would not put it past some to have been busy assembling new teams to reduced limits to suit themselves in the slightest. Don't have to be Einstein to work out which teams will be in on the secret. Lower team average would mean MORE riders out of a job, not less. A crazy prospect. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted November 8, 2020 Can't believe everything won't be the same as this year points wise etc. Teams who want the same team can, those who don't or can't know the limit now.... But this is the BSPA!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
